diversity of thought

Dr. Jordan B Peterson sits down with the current president of the Heritage Foundation, Dr. Kevin Roberts. They discuss the operations and practical utility of think tanks, the state of progressivism across academia, how multiple generations of students are now incapable of facing adversity, while claiming to fight it, and why intellectual combat is not something to shut down, but to champion against dire falsehoods.

Dr. Kevin Roberts is the current and 7th president of the Heritage Foundation (granted the role in 2021), an American Conservative think tank tackling issues on border control, immigration, inflation, among many other policy driven topics. He received his PhD in History from the University of Texas. After this, he taught history for a number of years. Then, in 2006 he founded the John Paul The Great Academy, a co-ed, K-12 Catholic liberal arts school in Lafayette, Louisiana. He was president for 7 years before resigning in order to become president of the Wyoming Catholic College.

Learn how to create an inclusive workplace

Diversity in the workplace is essential for fostering innovation, growth, and success. It goes beyond meeting quotas and ticking boxes; it's about embracing different perspectives and experiences that challenge the status quo and drive positive change. When a workplace is diverse, it becomes a breeding ground for creativity and new ideas, as individuals with different backgrounds and identities bring unique insights to the table. This diversity of thought leads to more innovative and effective solutions, as teams can tap into a wide range of perspectives to solve complex problems.

In this episode we chat with Katherine Ann Byam, and ESG change agent for organizations, internationally acclaimed podcaster and best selling author of 'Do What Matters'. We tackle how to thrive as ‘an only’, how to work on yourself and discover your biases and those of others with curiosity and in doing so get curious about the planet. She is on a mission to engage and empower more businesses and individuals to lead net positive lives.

Key takeaways from this episode:

• A company‘s culture when weaponised can be a blueprint for bias.

• As long as your brain functions there is some kind of bias in you

• You need to work through vulnerability on your own, make sure you are speaking from your scar not your wound

• Take time to understand what leading a net positive lifestyle can mean for you

• Questions are your friend, conclusions are your worst enemy

• Black women don’t start off wanting to be a stereotype and be labelled a troublemaker.

• Diversity created our one blue planet and inclusion will help us save it

In this timely episode, we sit down with Diane Ashley, the Founder and CEO of DTA Diversity Counts, to unpack the nuanced world of diversity. We delve into why diversity in the workplace and government is critical for innovation and growth. Diane expands the term "diversity" beyond just race, sexual orientation, or religion, to include ideological and political beliefs. Especially relevant in our current polarized climate, this episode argues for why embracing diversity of thought is a net positive. We also touch on the topic of whether gender-neutral discussions have gone too far. Listen in for a nuanced take on one of today's most critical issues.
