    Helpful vs. Harmful Ideas of Manhood - With Jeff Perera of Higher Unlearning

    Jeff Perera is leading the field in conversations on manhood and gender based violence and in today's discussion we get down to the root of it, with a lot of laughter on the way. Jeff has written many articles, given many keynote presentations, and even done a TedX talk on helpful vs harmful ideas of manhood, and he is a master of using analogies to make complex ideas and topics very relateable and understandable.   We talk about the origins of manhood as it is traditionally defined, how mansculinty has a direct impact on people of other genders, and the environments that this creates; in relationships, with self, with others, and in the workplace.  And maybe most importantly, we talk about building our empathy muscles.

    The Power of Women in the Trades - with Lia Lamela

    Lia Lamela is a medical esthetician turned electrician who is using her podcast "Sparky Life" to encourage more women to enter the trades.  We talk about barriers to women entering and staying in the trades, and the benefits that are being seen with having women tradespersons on construction crews.  These barriers and benefits are not all that different to the ones we see in the corporate world, but Lia shows us that a career in trades is a super fulfilling, accessible, and rewarding.  Lia says "If you can use a vacuume, you can use a power tool" - and shes not wrong!!

    50 Years of Gender Bias and Sexism - with Nancy Davis

    Nancy and I talk about gender bias and sexism over the last 50 years - how some things have changed, and how other things havent. Nancy's podcast, Fire After 50, shares the stories of many women who are killing it in life and in business in their 50's, and Nancy embodies that herself.  We talk about the deprogramming of cultural norms that she has gone through, and compare that to the deprogramming that both men and women need to undergo to make the world a more equitable place.  She shares with us the wisdom she has gained over the last 5 decades on how to be wildly successful by being our own authentic selves.  Fireafter50podcast.com https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fire-after-50/id1621197055 Instagram: @fireafter50
