How’s it going everyone? I’m Ben and if you, like me, enjoy listening to people’s stories and lessons then I invite you to subscribe to my podcast! You’re probably wondering why the pod is called 'At The Base of The Baobab Tree?' Well, the baobab is an ancient tree that I see in many ways as a prototypical storytelling hub. Plus, I thought the name sounded cool. So what is the overall vibe here? Well, the motif is storytelling, but there are few topics under this enormous umbrella that don’t interest me. I’m just going to start by talking with some people and see where things goes from there!

Lincoln Nikkel (Chic-fil-A Management)
<p>This episode in a conversation with Lincoln Nikkel about his work with the Chick-fil-A leadership program (which trains young operators who will go on to run their own restaurants). We talk about the future of the company as it moves into Canada and the unique business model that really aims to put the customer experience above everything else. Lincoln also talks about how he can incorporate his faith into his work with Chick-fil-A and use it as a platform from which he can help and invest into people.</p>

Paige Hunter (Climate and Equity)
<p>In this episode I talk with Paige about her project working with SFU on climate based solutions to equity issues. We talk about how the team sees the situation and how they plan on best addressing the myriad of variables to work towards a future that both mitigates and lessens the impacts of climate change while focusing specifically on creating green spaces that will benefit areas that do have historically been divested in. It is a really interesting project and topic in general.</p>

Jordyn Laird (Psychopathy and Racial Biases)
<p>In this episode I talk with my cousin Jordyn about two fascinating subjects: Psychopathy and racial bias (the later subject being the one she just did her thesis defense of her degree on). We discuss why we as a society are so fascinated by Psychopathy and some of the major misnomers many people have about the disorder (including myself as we discovered). We also discuss moral reasoning and how Psychopaths are anomalies in this area. In perhaps the most interesting portion of the episode, we go over the data that will help us understand why her study found that people were actually more likely to give harsher sentences to hypothetical white subjects than to hypothetical black and indigenous subjects in a prison sentencing survey (which is the opposite to what they expected to find going into the study and the opposite to what I would have expected based off of my understanding of the world). The awesome part about science is that it allows us to dissociate from our emotions and look at the data to better understand ourselves and the complex world we operate in. Incidentally, this unemotional, calculating approach is one that Psychopaths - who are overrepresented as not only criminals but also in populations like Surgeons and CEOs - are particularly good at. I really hope that you enjoy this episode and learn something while you watch!</p>
