This week we have our first *gasp* MAN on the pod, Frank Bach! Frank broke the internet and went viral on LinkedIn (that’s a thing!) by posting a picture of his adorable baby girl, and we talk about double standards for parents and the world his daughter is entering. As someone we consider to be a male ally, we ask Frank to share some things he does to lift up the women around him and give others space to excel. We discuss how an experience running a business with his wife and observing how she was treated primed him to be on alert for microaggressions in the office. We also touch on performative workplace antics and how counterproductive toxic positivity can be.

Frank is a product designer who also works at Headspace in LA. Originally from Canada, he founded a digital agency with his wife before moving to the US. He speaks regularly at conferences about design and mindfulness. Find his infamous LinkedIn post here.
