This is a ticking time bomb (A conversation with Whitney Peper)

The Bind with Greg Flynn

How do you advocate for yourself? I mean, really?

I’ve been wanting to have Whitney on the podcast from day one. He’s a good friend, and brings a great perspective to this work. We’ve had many hours of conversations about what it is to sit in men’s circles, what it means to be a man, and the like. We’ve even co-facilitated my Understanding Whiteness program. He’s good people.

So when he told me he wanted to talk about advocating for himself—this deep learning space he’s been in—I had a feeling it’d be juicy. He brings in the personal, and the live inquiry. I really enjoyed the chat.

I hope you do too.

How’d it land for you? Let me (and Whitney) know. Shoot me a note at [e-mail].
