Welcome to a listen-to-learn episode of the Share Life podcast. I'm speaking about Design Thinking with Sara Musgrove from the Riverbend Group. Design thinking is a human-centered and collaborative approach to solving complex problems.

Sara and I met a dozen years ago or so through her work at the Leaders Lyceum (a former client and a program I participated in). It's where I first discovered Constructive Developmental Theory.

Sara is a specialist in Design Thinking, a human-centered way to tackle problem-solving. She leads and trains leaders to optimize their influence and impact at The RiverBend Group. In this conversation about Design Thinking, she explains how it works and why organizations should be leveraging it. Design Thinking is both a framework and a Mindset and helps us think differently and early so that when we're executing, we're effective and efficient.

Welcome to a listen-to-learn episode of the Share Life podcast. I'm speaking with Nathan Dohse, an educator, advocate, and speaker working in the music industry, in the Nashville area and who was on the podcast before. Today, we're going to talk about breaking echo chambers and sacrificing sacred cows.

The idea of this conversation began when I posted about Republicans for Harris. This garnered a strong reaction from my Facebook community. Nathan commented with the following message on my post.

"This breaks the echo chamber if nothing else. It creates cognitive dissonance within a community, which does more good than anything else you could possibly do. We do not have a responsibility or the right to change anyone else's mind. But we do have the responsibility to use the minds we have, and to encourage others to do the same. You are doing a great job of that!"

I said, let's do a podcast episode about that, and he agreed. Now, here we are!

Julia and I discuss Constructive Developmental Theory (CDT) and its implications for personal and professional growth. We explore the journey from a socialized mind to a self-authored mind, the importance of vulnerability and curiosity, and the role of community in personal development. Julia also shares her personal experiences and insights on overcoming challenges, the significance of inside-out development, and the interdependence of relationships. The conversation emphasizes the need for self-knowledge and the transformative power of vulnerability in fostering growth and connection.
