LIVE || Without A Net: The Light in Sttange Places

At twelve years old, I told my father what I believed was a brilliant joke. He didn’t laugh. For years, I interpreted his response as rejection. But eventually, I began to hear something different. Maybe he wasn’t telling me I had no voice. Maybe he was teaching me to understand my audience. In **The Light in Strange Places**, we explore Kim Scott’s Radical Candor framework and the difference between caring personally, challenging directly, and using “honesty” as an excuse to be cruel. We also spotlight **ACCORD: A Center for Dispute Resolution**, revisit the Storming of the Bastille, and uncover the harder truths hidden inside the music of a legend This week’s journey is inspired by the Grateful Dead’s **Scarlet Begonias**: “Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.” The light does not always arrive gently. Sometimes it comes through criticism. Sometimes through conflict. And sometimes through words we need to hear again before we understand what they meant. *Kindness is not softness. Kindness is a strategy.* *Vulnerability is not weakness. Vulnerability is a method.* *Psychological safety is not a poster on the wall. It is a daily practice.* Kindness Rising LIVE Weekdays at 7:30 AM ET Stay uncommon. Stay kind.
