Derrick Pratt, Philadelphia-based community activist, organizer, and founder of We Embrace Fatherhood, joins us this episode. We discuss the importance of interpersonal connection; Derrick’s family history of activism; his organization’s mission; the rich history of Philadelphia’s Mantua neighborhood; his love of hip-hop; leading by example; tips for educating young people in the age of social media; and how to be a voice to the voiceless.

I think you’ll enjoy this inspirational interview with one of Philadelphia’s most passionate activists.

Since the creation of this podcast, I’ve wanted to interview Dr. Niobe Way, and in this episode, I get that great honor. Dr. Way is the Steinhardt Professor of Applied Psychology at NYU and the author of many books on boyhood and the crisis of connection, including the just-released Rebels With a Cause: Reimagining Boys, Ourselves, and Our Culture. She is also the founder of PACH, the Project for the Advancement of Our Common Humanity, the Director of the Science of Human Connection Lab, and a Principal Investigator of the Listening Project.

In this interview, we talk about the danger of coding maturity and success as strictly masculine; why our culture values emotional hardness over emotional softness; the psychology of mass shooters; the importance of feeling heard and seen; how to listen with curiosity; the emotional wisdom of 5-year-olds; how thinking and feeling are inseparable; the questions we should be asking teenagers; and the importance of telling thick vs thin stories.

We close our second season with an interview with David Palumbo, an award-winning freelance illustrator working primarily in the dark fantasy genre. A graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Dave has worked with Marvel, Wizards of the Coast, Tor Books, The New Yorker, and others.

In this interview, we discuss his 1980s childhood; the importance of artistic integrity; how his work subverts gender and racial tropes within his genre; the evolution of illustrations at companies like Wizards of the Coast; and much more.
