In the debut episode of Bridging Worlds, hosts Amanda Harris-Carter and Dr. Malcolm Carter-Harris introduce themselves and share their journey to starting the podcast. Dr. Malcolm, a leadership expert with a background in organizational development, and Amanda, a creative writer and former professor, bring unique perspectives to discussions of growth, resilience, connection, and storytelling. They reflect on their experiences as a mixed-race couple, the power of diverse stories, and how their professional and personal lives shape the themes of the podcast.
Listeners learn about the couple’s background, including Malcolm’s work in leadership development and Taekwondo training, and Amanda’s love of writing, true crime, and animal welfare. They share how their relationship began, with humorous anecdotes about their online dating journey. The hosts also preview upcoming topics, like psychological safety, VUCA environments, and the importance of storytelling in processing trauma and bridging cultural divides. Ending on a high note, they invite listeners to engage, share stories, and contribute ideas, while playing their custom theme music inspired by Massive Attack.
