Kim Scott is the author of several very impactful books, some of which you may have heard of, such as “Radical Candor,” that give some very useful perspectives on how to give feedback, and how to receive feedback. Her latest book is called “Just Work: How to Root Out Bias, Prejudice, and Bullying to Build a Kickass Culture of Inclusivity.” Kim was a CEO coach at Dropbox, Qualtrics, Twitter, and other tech companies. She was a member of the faculty at Apple University and before that led teams at Google, including AdSense. She also managed a pediatric clinic in Kosovo and started a diamond-cutting factory in Moscow. Kim is especially admirable because she’s not just writing from theory, but from deep experience.

In this interview on the School for Good Living Podcast, Kim joins Brilliant to discuss some of the different roles that we play as we go through life and in the workplace. She talks about the workplace, what to do when we are a person being harmed, or when we are the person who causes harm, when we’re in a leadership position, when we are someone who just observes this, and what our responsibility is or might be and how to effectively handle situations. Throughout the interview, Kim shares how effectively handling potentially difficult situations can be a key to good living.

“Bias is a pattern – and we as humans are pattern makers; but we’re also pattern changers, and we can change those patterns.”

John Philip Newell is a Celtic teacher and author of spirituality, who calls the modern world to reawaken to the sacredness of the Earth and every human being. John Philip’s most recent book is called “Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul: Celtic Wisdom for Reawakening to What Our Souls Know and Healing the World.” John Philip began the School of Earth and Soul, which was originally called the School of Celtic Consciousness. Reading John Philip’s book and talking to him today has inspired me in so many ways. John Philip’s writing and his teaching offers the possibility of leaving others living and being and relating in new ways that are healthy, that are sustainable, and that are fulfilling. It’s a big promise, and it’s not a simple algorithm, but there is inspiration.

In this interview on the School for Good Living podcast, John joins Brilliant to discuss Celtic spirituality and the divinity that can be found in all things. John provides lots of insight on understanding the sacredness of the Earth and the people around us. Throughout this discussion, John also provides a lot of insight on how this knowledge can be a key to good living and how these perspectives open us to new possibilities of healing and overcoming the difficulties this world has to offer.

“The crises that we are in the midst of today stem from the fact that we treat the Earth and one another as less than sacred.”
