Radical Respect a book by Kim Scott

What gets in the way of collaborative, respectful work environments? How can we build teams where everyone can love their work--and working together? Those the questions this podcast explores. In Season Three, Kim and Wesley are back. Also, a name change as we move from “Just Work” to “Radical Respect”. As part of the paperback release of Just Work which is coming out in May of 2024, Kim made major revisions to the text based on all the learnings of the last three years. She also decided to change the name of the book from Just Work to Radical Respect (more details in our blogpost). In Season Two, Wesley Faulkner, who has led developer relations and been a community manager at a number of tech companies, joins Kim as co-host. We talk to guests about their experiences with bias, prejudice, bullying, discrimination, harassment, and physical violations in the workplace. By sharing experiences, we help to build community and to help listeners recognize problems they are experiencing at work, and get some ideas about how to handle it. In Season One, Kim Scott, author of Radical Candor and Just Work, and Ernest Adams, an executive from Nike, Danaher, and Ralph Lauren, talk about how to translate ideas from the book Just Work into on-the-ground realities on your team. They read short sections of the book and get real about how to disrupt bias, prejudice and bullying before they disrupt your team. Ernest now leads DEI at The Ford Motor Company.

    S3 Episode 12 - How to Sit in the Discomfort

    Kim and Wesley speak with WeAreLATech founder and podcaster Espree Devora about her experience as young tech founder.  Espree talks about how her early passion for technology, art and business and how this set the foundation for her future endeavors.  While she did not know or even understand the traditional rules of how to start a business or how to raise funds, she did not let that deter her drive to succeed.  She let her strong, creative vision be her North Star and guide her day to day decisions making.  She also discusses how to manage energy as a founder, especially when one can feel they are never doing enough.  It's important, though difficult, to "sit in the discomfort" and "don't close our own doors of opportunity".   About Espree Devora: A prolific podcaster since 2013, Espree Devora aka “the girl who gets it done” is a force in the Los Angeles tech scene, founder of WeAreLATech and championing  Women in Tech globally, she’s also a founding member of the Audio Collective  the hybrid live-audio creator community.  Host of multiple podcasts and one of the first Clubhouse icon faces, Espree has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Harper’s Bazaar, Inc and more. https://espreedevora.com
