      <title>Drive Creativity and Innovation Through Diversity /w Dr. Laura Morgan Roberts</title>
      <description>When companies bring together people with different backgrounds and perspectives, they open the door to new ideas and creative solutions. In this episode, Dr. Laura Morgan Roberts shows how leaders can build truly inclusive workplaces where everyone feels valued and heard. She explains that it takes more than just diversity on paper - leaders need empathy and a genuine commitment to fairness to help their teams thrive. When they get this right, teams can break through old ways of thinking and come up with breakthrough innovations that wouldn't have been possible otherwise.

      <title>Answering the Call to Action /w Dr. Betty Kilby Baldwin</title>
      <description>Racial equality champion Betty Kilby's courageous stand against systemic racism began when she challenged Virginia's Warren County Board of Education in 1958, facing brutal opposition while fighting for school desegregation. Her transformative journey from a determined teenager to a powerful social justice speaker and author demonstrates the profound impact one person can have on educational reform and civil rights. Today, she channels her experiences into advocacy work, sharing raw first-hand accounts that continue to inspire and educate others about the ongoing struggle for racial equality. This remarkable story of resilience and activism illuminates both the progress made in American civil rights and the critical work that remains in the fight against systemic racism.

Dr. Kim Cameron, a University of Michigan expert, demonstrates how virtuous practices and positive energy can transform workplace dynamics through what he calls Relational Energy. His research shows that by incorporating emotional intelligence and consistently applying positive leadership principles, organizations can achieve remarkable outcomes while maintaining strong, resilient teams.

        <![CDATA[<p>Have you ever thought about how many Mondays you have left? It's about 4,000 for most of us – and that number really puts things in perspective. TEDx speaker Jodi Wellman shares something fascinating: understanding our limited time isn't depressing; it's a powerful wake-up call. She talks about how facing our mortality head-on can spark positive changes and help us zero in on what truly matters. It's like having a friendly reminder to stop putting off the important stuff and start living with real purpose. Through intentional living and embracing our finite time, we can transform our everyday moments into something truly meaningful.</p><p>[00:00] Opening</p><p>[04:47] The Four Thousand Mondays Philosophy</p><p>[06:28] Embracing Time's Limits and Living with Purpose</p><p>[10:35] Using Mortality Awareness as Motivation</p><p>[15:22] Finding Balance Between Vitality and Life's Meaning</p><p>[25:00] Discovering What Makes Us Feel Truly Alive</p><p>[28:50] The Power of Rest and "Wasting" Time</p><p>[36:21] Living with Purpose: Fighting Life's Swift Passage</p><p>[40:47] Finding Joy in Small Things and Looking Forward</p><p>[46:07] Looking Back: Time and What We Leave Behind</p><p>[50:50] Moving Through Loss and Learning</p><p>[57:20] How Facing Death Makes Life Richer</p><p><br></p><p>Capella Fahoome Linktree: <a href="https://linktr.ee/capellafahoome"> https://linktr.ee/capellafahoome</a></p><p>Jodi Wellman Four Thousand Mondays <a href="http://www.fourthousandmondays.com"> www.fourthousandmondays.com</a></p><p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.

      <title>Power of Positivity: Turning Obstacles into Opportunities /w Dr. Oneeka Williams</title>
      <description>Across the country, communities are struggling with growing health gaps, limited access to quality STEM education, and too few diverse role models in medicine; leaving many young people feeling like healthcare careers are out of reach. Dr. Oneeka Williams, a Harvard-trained urological surgeon and one of only a handful of Black female surgeons in America, is working to change that through her Positive Health Series and Dr. Dee Dee Dynamo children's books. Her approach combines positivity, creativity, and early community engagement to build health literacy, promote self-care, and advance health equity in underserved communities. In this conversation, she shares how resilience, storytelling, and purpose are transforming community health outcomes and creating new pathways for STEM empowerment.

      <title>Tomorrow Starts Today w/ Jenn Beatty</title>
      <description>Our life experiences shape hidden assumptions and implicit bias, affecting how we view everything from daily interactions to deeper issues of prejudice and racial bias, and even how we view ourselves. Jenn Beatty, who persisted through 30 PhD rejections to earn two master's degrees from The University of Pennsylvania and pursue her doctorate at Washington University in St. Louis, has turned her LA upbringing into groundbreaking research on bias.

      <title>Welcome to When is Now</title>
      <description>Welcome to the When is Now Podcast! My name is Capella, and in this short episode, I want to introduce myself and give you some insight as to what to expect from this podcast. I've worked in the film industry for over 20 years, and believe that it's at its best when we include practices of respect, trust, inclusion, and emotional intelligence. 
In each episode, I'll have one-on-one conversations with extraordinary multi-industry leaders on a wide variety of topics. We'll hear about the experiences that shaped their lives and work, what they learned, and practical tools that we can implement today! These conversations energized me, and I hope they will energize you too! I am so excited to get started! Let’s go!!!
