Meet Computer Scientist, Technologist and Dad Leo Chan. I met Leo twenty years ago while working at the Ontario Science Centre. I was so keen to speak to him that I kept using the word awesome. He has such a fascinating point of view on technology, art, mindfulness and the role of empathy. Leo is a builder, an artist, and a coder; he graduated with Distinction in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo. He thrives at the intersection of art and technology; his early career was focused on procedural 3-D computer graphics. And now his work focuses on real-time performance visuals, augmented reality and virtual reality, as well as on many technology blockbuster titles with electronica arts and Pixar; most recently, he's been building and weaving the fabric on the Internet with Amazon Web services.  A few years ago, he transformed his life and the family's life by moving to a forest in Bowen Island in British Columbia. Seven years ago, he started a daily meditation practice that had some surprising effects on his work. Grab some tea and take some time a listen to some insights from this unique and talented human.

My friends, my friends, thank you so much for listening and sharing the podcast sending your feedback. I am delighted about what is growing here, and we are just getting started. I'm so grateful to our guests to share their incredible stories; they've been so generous. This is such a transformative time, and I know there is fatigue in this pandemic's unknowingness but never has been a time more important for words,  language and stories.

Che has a spirited conversation with Entrepreneur, Artist and Clothing Designer Troy Jackson about perception, white privilege and growing up in Nova Scotia. Troy shares how activism translates into building a clothing brand inspired by his son and how we need to imagine society as it could be and stop making assumptions about people based on what they look like and how the deaths of black men by police triggered old experiences. He describes his encounters with racism as a black, Muslim gay man in a small town and his experience with harassment on Vancouver's streets with a group of white supremacists. And despite those experiences, Troy has relied on a tradition of storytelling, music and humour to lift him out of the pain of racism. He has found empowerment in building his own business. He is creating clothing that is ethical, local and sustainable. In the future, clothing will be more locally made instead of being based on child labour. He is creating a template for his son.
