Today’s world is one of silos and divided communities. A place where selecting a single article or topic online can pre-determine any and all information then served to you by one algorithm or another. We are, as a species, designed to live in groups (tribes) and unfortunately as with so many things, taken to an extreme it becomes a bad thing. It all comes back to identity. Who are we? Where do we fit? What is our purpose? In sitting down to speak with Shirin Etessam, the place we begin is with identity. Deeply connected to her Iranian roots and steeped just as deeply in her identity as a lesbian, Shirin’s journey of the last 6 years is one that had her take a long, hard look at all of that. Where had she been and – more importantly – where did she want to go? What was her real life work? In this week’s episode of Talk, Unleashed, Shirin takes us through the deep why of her work and how by sinking even more deeply into our individual selves we can move forward in healing the world.
What motivates people? Why do they do what they do? What does leadership actually mean in today’s world? Good questions, right? That’s what Cathy Brooks, thought. And it’s why she created Talk, Unleashed – a new podcast of entirely candid conversations with fascinating people doing remarkable things. This weekly podcast will feature guests from arts and entertainment to business to technology to food to activism to politics (well, we’ll see on that last one). Talk Unleashed invites these influencers to consider the things that have led to them to where they are, the lessons they’ve learned and how all those things can come together to create a better world.
