Julia Freeland is a passionate educator and change engineer, who has spent most of her life working to help people break through limiting beliefs and seemingly impenetrable barriers to become better versions of themselves.

She is also the author of Take Your Shoes Off First, a parable book with a message near and dear to my heart - perspective-taking.

Julia and I discussed that weird head nod teenage boys do, and why it might be more important than you think, the role of language in human connection, how to become undisruptable in your life and career, why today’s world is more like open sea swimming than laps in a pool, the one question that triggers empathy in any conversation, and how to get your kids to eat vegetables.

And of course, Julia shares her story of a chance encounter with lasting impact.

Plus, she gives a lovely piece of advice to young professionals trying to make it in this increasingly chaotic and isolated world.
