Ahoy there! On this episode, I interview Angus Williams, Founder and Executive Director of the Earhart Club, which is an organization serving the community by bringing girls and their mothers together in order to better understand one another (and thereby building stronger relationships between each other). The Earhart Club is named after Amelia Earhart (the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean) and focuses on teaching young girls to find (and keep) their individual voices/passions. The Earhart Club's slogan is "Developing Forces for Awesomeness" and their three pillars are Curiosity, Understanding, and Values -- all vital factors in creating strong, self-assured girls who will grow up into strong, self-assured women. Angus and I will do a deep dive into the differences between "knowing" someone and genuinely understanding them; which are quite separate things. Angus will then tell us about the Earhart Club's 10-week after school program, what exactly they do, statistics on how they've seen mother/daughter relationships improve, and how mothers and daughters can get involved with the organization. We will also discuss how individuality and community work together; strong individuals build strong communities, and vice versa. Ultimately, true closeness and connectivity rely on empathy, compassion, and authentic understanding. And these are all important qualities that every single one of us (including me) could use more of personally, professionally, and when it comes to swaying public opinion.
