    Key Takeaways from This Episode:

    1. Not all bias is bad—especially if it leads to action
      • "I’m biased against unconscious bias training because it doesn’t work. Because there’s no evidence. Because there’s not enough action. I’m biased towards action and I want you to join me."
    2. Research diagnoses problems, but rarely shows you what to do next
      • "Academic research is amazing for diagnosing problems. It uncovers bias. It maps inequality. It identifies systemic issues. But here’s the thing. It’s not so good in helping you to do something. It’s not hot on your next action steps."
    3. Waiting for “them” undermines your power to change things
      • "It’s always they. Never me. Never you. This undermines your agency. It strips away your self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is an individual's belief in their capacity to act in the ways necessary to reach specific goals."
