Coffins Made Of Mushrooms and Empathy For As*holes with Karen Faith

In this episode, we talk coffins made of mushrooms, when perspective taking costs too much, and the difference between empathy and accountability.

About this week’s guest: Karen Faith is the CEO of Others Unlimited. Previously an ethnographer, her work has shaped initiatives at Google, Amazon, Indeed, Blue Cross, The Federal Reserve Bank, The NBA, The ACLU, and The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, to name a few. She’s an empathy trainer named Karen, and the joke isn’t lost on her. Which is how she’s owned mics across 5 continents, and gave a TEDx talk that has since racked up over 3M views.
