Compassion, Uncertainty, and Cab Rides Talk Human To Me

    • Mental Health

Calgary Brown leads programming and partnerships for one of the nation's pioneering entrepreneur programs, Move The Crowd. But we don't talk about any of that.

Instead, Calgary talks about all of the other parts that make her a complete human: having compassion even with all of the craziness happening in the world, being open to what others are doing, an unexpected cab ride in Nairobi, and more.

Visiting expert Dr. Jacquelyn Johnson also calls in. She works with professionals of color, primarily Black women, to help them get “unstuck” in life and chart a path towards attaining a life of meaning, value, and purpose. We talk about the science behind why unfamiliar situations create fear, and for people who take more risks with unfamiliar situations, what's different about their psychology.
