...or What it Means To Be An Involved Dad.
Historically, being a father meant being the bread winner and the disciplinarian. Not anymore. Today, fathers are intimately involved in parenting. From prepping meals to being a full-time stay-at-home dad, something unfathomable in the past, things are changing.
Today, Anthony.Emeka chats with two millennial fathers, Chandy, a Manager at Deloitte in Burlington, Canada and Calvin, a Senior Advisor to the President of Howard University in Washington, D.C. about the evolution of fatherhood.

...or Our Time Is Now: A Discussion.
The entire world was watching the 2020 presidential election unfold in Georgia. The reason for the new interest, and the fact that it was now competitive for Democrats, came down to one person- Stacey Abrams.
To understand how Stacey Abrams took her stinging 2018 loss for Governor and leveraged the energy of her campaign to turn Georgia blue in 2020, is the topic of her incredible book Our Time Is Now.Our book club discussed the various topics raised in her work from voting rights and voter suppression to proposed solutions. This is our conversation.

...or When Will It End?
To say the past few weeks have been a rollercoaster would be an understatement. The U.S. continues to flaunt all of the makings of a sh*tshow. More mass shootings. More police killings. More racial discrimination. More overt hate.
This week, Anthony.Emeka had an unexpected conversation with book club members about the current state of affairs. Before discussing the important Our Time is Now by Stacey Abrams, they had a mental check-in that spoke volumes about their shared experience.

...or What Non-Americans Think of the United States.
American “greatness” is imported to every corner of the world. (Economic) opportunity, Hollywood, technology, amongst other things. Relatedly, the U.S. also exports unflattering qualities- economic inequality, racial and sexual discrimination, and gun violence, to name a few.
Today, I talk with some of my personal confidants who live outside America’s borders to understand how others see “The Land of the Free.” We talk shop about parental leave, differences in healthcare, and, of course, American’s winning ingredient- gun violence, amongst other topics. Perspectives come from France, Great Britain, and Canada.

...or Love Knows No Color, Until It Does.
Up until 1967, the marriage between Black and white people was deemed illegal in the United States. To put that in perspective, that was less than 55 years ago. 54 years to be exact.
While it is no longer illegal to be in an interracial marriage, it is still socially taboo. Today, I talk with guests who discuss the complexities of navigating an interracial relationship. Our guests include Matthew Hoeg (he/they) from San Diego, California. He is a lecturer at San Diego State University and Des Moines Area Community Community College in Communication Studies as well as a Fair Housing Education and Outreach Coordinator at CSA San Diego County. Our second guest is Jess Puccinelli (she/her), a Creative Strategist (IG: @jesspuccinelli), from Atlanta, Georgia.

...or How Micro-Learning is Changing Post-Secondary Education.
Technology is changing the way we navigate the world with learning at the center of the shift. One thing that hasn't changed is our approach to conventional post-secondary education.
For many companies, college graduates are matriculating into the workforce without the technical chops and, to a lesser degree, emotional intelligence, to compete for cushy jobs. That's where Micro-Learning comes in. Today we define what micro-learning is and discuss it’s impact on conventional post-secondary education.
Our guests include Julia Reyen, Co-founder of Clear Crossing Academy (LinkedIN: linkedin.com/in/juliareynen) and Khalid Kurji (IG: @khalidkurji), Associate Director, Quantum, Matter and AI - Creative Destruction Lab-Toronto, both from Toronto, Canada.

...or What Will Our World Look Like Beyond 2021?
"So from what I've learned, it's probably not the right word, but what I've given more thought and more interest in this sense is health." - Ben
In our previous episode, we talked about some of the challenges of 2020- the pandemic, health, and sociopolitical challenges. Today, we wrap up the conversation with our hopes and aspirations for the future. This is Part 2 of a two-part interview.
Our first guest is Ben of London, England yet he's technically both American and British. Interesting fact- he’s fluent in Mandarin. My second guest is Amanda and she's from Washington, D.C. Not only is she wildly hilarious but also incredibly intelligent and super cultured. She openly acknowledges how she became much more of a capitalist after completing b-school.

"I think ultimately, respectability politics is about believing a lie that if I do something, it will protect me from being hated or prejudiced against or killed. " - Clarence
All of our lives are policed by respectability politics. From the way we dress and the way we speak to the music we listen to and how we engage with coworkers. Regardless of where you stand on the issue, we all have opinions and personal experiences to complement. On today's show, we have two guests who have a wide breadth of knowledge and extensive experience navigating the "rules" of respectability politics at home, in the office, and amongst friends.

…or White People Are Not Going to Change Until It Benefits Them.
“I think, one of the struggles that I’ve had to overcome is just learning to shut up and listen” - Kathleen
White liberals openly express how horrible racial injustice and racial inequality are for society yet, in the same breath, are unable to acknowledge how rampant systemic racism is. These same white liberals also like to “remind” others that it isn’t politically optimal to embrace radical policy change as it relates to racism. This is the paradox of white liberalism.
Today we talk with two individuals who help us distinguish the difference between white liberals and white allies. Kathleen Olen - she/her/hers- (@_wanderwhere_) is a Manager of Learning and Organization Development for a major CPG company. She’s also an executive coach specializing in all things Emotional Intelligence. Zack Ritter- he/him/his- (IG: @zack_ritter_20) is an Associate Dean of Students at California State University-Dominguez Hills. His passion is teaching history, politics, race, class and gender and how these relate to and can inform public policy and societal change. He is also an adjunct professor at UCLA and Cal State Dominguez Hills as well as a Diversity Consultant.

"I think women are just waiting longer [to get pregnant]...It’s maybe not the first thing on their minds anymore about having children. But not that they don’t want to but I think most women are totally invested in themselves and their career." - Michele
According to the CDC, about 10% of all women in the United States aged 15–44 years have difficulty getting pregnant or staying pregnant. Relatedly, a large number of these same women who experience reproductive challenges, do so in silence and by themselves. We seek to shed some light on this topic by having a frank and honest conversation about women's sexual and reproductive health. Michele Lew is a family medicine nurse and has been in the medical field for over 20 years. Doris Quintanilla is the Executive Director and Co-Founder of The Melanin Collective who has spent extensive time in the community health space with La Clinica de la Raza and The Association of Reproductive Health Professionals.

"So I think what makes it more complex for the baby boomers is that a millennial is not one true definition. There are so many different groups within the millennial age range that it makes it more complex." - Diya
Ever ask yourself, who falsely promotes the idea of "The American Dream"? We all know what it is but few of us have actually achieved it. Why? In today's episode, Anthony.Emeka speaks with LA-based founder, consultant, and speaker Lizzy Okoro-Palafox (@lizzyokoro) and DC-based D'Anthony White (@danthonywhite) about why that may be the case. Relatedly, they explore what the American Dream means to them- and what it doesn't mean.

It’s about reducing that failure and I think that applies to life." - Chad
Last week, Anthony Emeka started a conversation with Kristina Arax Bedrossian (@kristina_arax), Managing Director at the Bright Research Group, and Zach Love (@decarae), VP and Financial Advisor at Alliance Bernstein, around social justice and social change, specifically accountability, reparations, and being an ally.

2020 has been a wild year. Not only have we been contending with the backdrop of a global pandemic but also witnessing a social justice movement demanding social change. Our guests Kristina Arax Bedrossian (@kristina_arax), Managing Director at the Bright Research Group, and Zach Love (@decarae), VP and Financial Advisor at Alliance Bernstein, share their thoughts on how we can actively engage in our democracy beyond the ballot box.

...or Baby Boomers Spoiled It.
"You know, yes the data for COVID 19 is there and we should pay attention to it but there’s been years, decades of data for education that says kids are being underserved and we could’ve figured this out. We are not using this as an opportunity to say “Let us figure out this public education. Let us put ideas on the table. Let us have these conversations.” What we’re doing is putting a square peg in a round hole and this is now where I’m seeing innovation. It’s not." - Steven Ward
We engage with two seasoned educators, primary school teacher Jasmine Novick (@MsJazNew) from Los Angeles, California and high school principal Steven Ward (@stevenward83) from Memphis, Tennessee, about educating students amidst the global pandemic- specifically what it means for the mental and emotional health of students, parents, and society as a whole. We also dive into how social justice movements are shifting priorities and impacting curriculum. We discuss what to expect, what may or may not happen next, and what innovative education can look like in the future.
In Generational Envy, we are joined by Carly, a millennial, and her mom, Maureen, a baby boomer from Toronto, Canada. Carly shares what she wishes she learned from her mom’s generation while Maureen shares her thoughts on why she believes baby boomers spoiled it for the rest of us.
