Pioneering A Sustainable Future: A Kandid Chat with John Pabon on Eco-Responsibility
03/05/24 • 41 min
Discover the intricacies of sustainability with John Pabon, a trailblazer in the field and Author of “Sustainability for the Rest of Us: Your No-Bullshit, Five-Point Plan for Saving the Planet” and “The Great Greenwashing: How Brands, Governments, and Influencers are Lying to You," as we unravel how to make tangible impacts on the planet. Our conversation is not only an exploration of environmental protection but an inclusive discussion about human welfare and corporate governance. John's transition from public affairs to a sustainability consultant brings a unique perspective, emphasizing the importance of corporate accountability and practical, achievable steps toward a sustainable future.
Barriers to sustainability can seem insurmountable, but they don't have to be. We tackle issues like cost, awareness, and convenience, and how they affect our ability to adopt sustainable practices. This episode emphasizes the role of intersectionality within environmentalism and introduces the concept of 'pragmatic altruism,' a strategic yet realistic approach to making a positive impact. We also look ahead, encouraging you to carve your own path in sustainability, tailored to your circumstances and resources.
Our chat wraps up with a critical examination of greenwashing. We shed light on the deceptions some companies employ to appear environmentally friendly and discuss the potential overhaul of the automotive industry's business model in response to the electric vehicle revolution.

When The Hood Comes Off: A Kandid Chat on Racism & Resistance in The Digital Age
Embark on a profound journey with Dr. Robert Eschmann, Educator, Filmmaker and Author of the critically acclaimed "When the Hood Comes Off: Racism and Resistance in the Digital Age."
Our conversation pierces through the veil of digital anonymity, revealing the entanglement of technology and racism. Dr. Eschmann's personal encounters with racism, both in the virtual world and within the halls of academia, serve as a beacon for understanding the modern struggle against racial injustice. Our dialogue traverses the terrain of online discourse, examining how the veil of anonymity amplifies racial tensions and the role of education reform in this battle.
Join us as we navigate the tumultuous currents of social media where voices from the margins echo louder than ever, challenging the silence of mainstream discussions on racism.
Dr. Eschmann illuminates the double-edged nature of these platforms, which, while elevating activism, also harbor racist ideologies. We delve into the psychological toll on people of color and affirm the unyielding necessity for resistance. We peel back the layers of Dr. Eschmanns' academic research, shifting from case studies to a comprehensive analysis that uncovers the digital resilience of students of color against racial adversity.
Lastly, experience the seamless blend of Dr. Eschmanns' passion for storytelling with his commitment to anti-racist action as he introduces us to "Choose Your Own Resistance," a virtual reality film that immerses viewers in the thick of racial microaggressions.
Hear how his personal life, infused with sports, movies, and family, fortifies his resolve in this ongoing crusade for equity.

It Isn't About You: A Kandid Chat on De-escalation and Crisis Management w/Sean DeMarco Garcia
When the stakes are high and tensions run higher, it's the voice of calm that can make all the difference. I sat down with Sean DeMarco Garcia, Founder of Astrochemistry Consulting LLC & Author of an upcoming e-book, "It's Not About You: Lessons, Memories and Techniques in Crisis Communication," and we get real about the art of de-escalation and crisis intervention. Sean's winding path from police officer to pioneer in conflict resolution mirrors the complexity of the high-stress encounters he defuses. His stories are a potent mix of the personal and the professional, offering strategies for front-line workers of all kinds and anyone looking to navigate crises with grace and efficiency.
Sean and I peel back the layers of law enforcement life to reveal the essential role of cultural understanding and the non-negotiable necessity of self-care. We talked about the life-changing power therapy can wield, even for those who stand as pillars of strength in our communities. Sean's insights into personal well-being underscore the importance of not just training the mind for crisis scenarios but nurturing the heart to withstand the aftershocks.
Leadership isn't an easy mantle to wear, especially when managing the fine line between guidance and authority. In our heartfelt conversation, Sean illuminates the leadership philosophy that inspires growth and the transformative impact of acknowledgment in the workplace. His upcoming book teases a treasure trove of narratives and coping mechanisms for when words aren't enough. We wrap up with a volley of rapid-fire questions, each one offering a window into the life lessons that shape this advocate for peace and protector of the peacekeepers.
