    Learning Experience Design and the Power of Play with Shanice Webb

    Dr. Amy Cabrera Rasmussen has as her guest today Shanice Webb, a learning experience designer, facilitator, community builder, and founder of Transcend Thought, who bridges ambition and wellbeing through sustainable, aligned success.  Webb shares her early entrepreneurial instincts, first formal job as a teen, and how Stanford’s Life Design Lab helped prepare her for full-time entrepreneurship.  She explains learning experience design as a practice of creating play-based, hands-on environments that support curiosity and varied learning styles. We get a glimpse of this form of good work via an example of Webb's facilitation of a design-thinking workshop for Stanford’s Center for Just Environmental Futures, including a puzzle activity that made clear the need for collaboration on complex problems like climate justice.  The two reflect on imposter syndrome, creating safe spaces, saying no for sustainability's sake, and suggest ways to utilize active engagement and the ikigai framework.  Webb also shares the adult "play dates” she designed as part of her work in the Bay Area.

    Exploring Climate Impact and Private Equity with Amanda Mendoza

    Dr. Amy Cabrera Rasmussen chats with Amanda Mendoza, currently senior research and campaign coordinator at the Private Equity Stakeholder Project (PESP), a nonprofit watchdog examining private equity’s impacts across climate and energy, workers and jobs, housing, healthcare, and detention and surveillance.  Mendoza explains private equity in clear terms: as multi-trillion-dollar investment firms funded largely by institutional investors like public pension funds and focused on extracting profit over a handful of years.  The two go on to examine her unique dual research-and-campaign role, including leading the Private Equity Climate Risks Consortium to build public-facing data and scorecards on private equity ownership of fossil fuel assets, information not readily disclosed.  Mendoza shares her nontraditional path from community college and political science through an internship-turned-research-analyst job, a COVID layoff, and climate justice work inspired by Standing Rock.  We also learn about how the efforts by Mendoza and her colleagues to unionize PESP are helping to reduce burnout and improve work conditions. Throughout, the two discuss building community, leveraging the support of one's professors, and how doing internships can be an important pathway toward one's good work career.
