    S2E8: How do you build healthy relationships?

    Michael Edward Thomas is a Brazilian-American tech leader who lives part of the year in NYC and part of the year elsewhere (his nomadic side comes out). In this episode he sheds light around how he approaches building healthy relationships (of any type!), how his multi-cultural background has influenced that, and the primary learnings he's had around the topic. This is not an exhaustive episode on how to approach relationships, but simply two friends exploring how they've approached relationships so far and what are some of the main epiphanies they have encountered. Curious about relationships? Tune in.

    S2E6 WALKS w/ Mike Bott: How do you lead and inspire others?

    Mike Bott gave me my first true professional opportunity; he gave me my first job out of college. He had the courage to look at a 1-page A4 resume with nothing more than a couple Microsoft Office skills, a lot of fillers, and a font probably too small to be legible, and still decide to believe I could become a great professional. On top of giving me my first job he taught me a thing or two about leadership. Now, what makes a good leader? Leadership is probably one of the biggest content churning machines out there. There's a lot of content on leadership, but too often it looks more like my first resume, with its fillers and small font, than useful content aspiring leaders can use. To change that, in today's episode we go a step further and actually dive into leadership authentically. This is by far not an exhaustive episode on good leadership, it's just the story of a leader that I believe is really good at that, motivating and inspiring others. Mike used empathy, vulnerability and a lot of authenticity to become the Global Managing Director for LHi Group. Today he shares why he leads the way he does and how a lot of it traces back to the myriad life experiences he's had along the way. Botty, thanks for the walk (and the first job).

    S2E5 WALKS w/ Naya Joseph: How do you lead a happy and fulfilling life?

    "Students were so down, nobody knew how to respond. There was so much shock and sadness. And I really tapped back into what my mom told me as a kid, you know, love yourself and take great pride in your culture and your identity. And so I decided to take it upon myself to plan Black History Month at [Boston College] that year" (Naya during season 2 episode 5 of WALKS) In today's episode we're joined by Naya Joseph, an inspiring leader and change-maker. Most recently she co-founded ColorStack, a nonprofit startup working hard to increase the retention and success of Black and Latinx Computer Science students. On today's episode we cover what it's like to build an idea from the ground up, what it feels like to make a difference and how one should build a a team of "coaches" around them to stay both mentally and physically healthy. Naya, thanks for inspiring us with your extraordinary story. #walkspodcast #dei #startup #mentalhealth #colorstack

    S2E4 WALKS w/ Jesse Meza: What is it like being a first-gen college student?

    On today's episode we go on a walk with Jesse Meza. Jesse grew up in Texas, surrounded by poverty and with no person in his family who had graduated from high school. Today he's an MBA student at a world-renown business school like UCLA Anderson, he's led teams at prestigious media companies prior to starting graduate school and he's been recognized by AdColor Future and as a 4A’s MAIPer to Watch for all his work in diversity, equity, and inclusion. Jesse exudes optimism, grit and kindness, all of which have propelled him to pioneer a new way of life not limited by the odds dictated by where he grew up. As Rosa Meza famously said "Querer es poder"/"Wanting is power", and Jesse is the perfect example of that. Jesse, thanks for joining us on today's walk.

    S2E3 WALKS w/ Reed Fox: How do you tackle homelessness through soccer?

    The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development shows that 580,466 people were counted as homeless in 2020, representing a 2.2% increase over 2019. Outside of homelessness 16% of children in the US live below the poverty line (they represent the poorest age group). Of those 73% are children of color. The pandemic has only exacerbated all of this, which is why organizations like Street Soccer USA and people like Reed Fox exist. Street Soccer USA offers a soccer-based life skills program to empower those living in poverty. They have 22 programs across 16 cities, with over 1,000 volunteers and have teams that participate in national championships as well as the annual Homeless World Cup. Reed Fox is a Program Manager within the organization carrying out various key roles including acting as the lead of the Homeless World Cup program for the United States. He's also co-founded Sports Charity Mwanza, an NGO in Tanzania, providing sustainable infrastructure and developing the sports environment in the Mwanza region of Tanzania. Reed, thanks for joining us on the show!
