Are you a lion or a panda?

It seems like a silly question – but in today’s episode, we realize the answer may actually teach us a lot about ourselves.

“There’s constant opportunities of attunement or opportunities for people to play, and then there’s a lot of times the people that don’t wanna play are the ones that are most miserable.” - Jeff

In this episode, we debate the virtues of panda vs. lion, recall the fond days of trapper keepers, and Dimple explains the concept of Bird by Bird to Jeff.

Episode 2 also dives into the themes of psychological safety, human-centered leadership, the importance of play and how curiosity and empathy work together.

“Every single moment we have is a new moment. Everyday is a new day of school.” 

- Dimple
