Village SquareCast - Rachel Brown: The Roots of Belonging & The Risks of Othering

In this episode of SquareCast we're joined by the extraordinary Rachel Brown, the Founder of Over Zero—named in reference to the “zero sum game” that exists in sporting events, but becomes dangerous when it overtakes a society, as it has ours. Over Zero was founded to prevent identity-based violence and other forms of group-targeted harm around the world—and here at home. Rachel is one of the wisest, steadiest voices of our time in guiding us away from dangerous (but human) reactions, and toward calmer times.

The program is facilitated by Dr. Theodore R. Johnson, previous UNUM guest and author of the book “When The Stars Begin to Fall.”  Find the program online at The Village Square here.

The Village Square is a proud member of The Democracy Group, a network of podcasts that examines what's broken in our democracy and how we can work together to fix it.

Funding for this podcast was provided through a grant from Florida Humanities with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S9 Bonus: Nate Henderson, BILT

Nathan Henderson grew up in Saudi Arabia, where he actually met his now co-founder, back when he was 5 years old. His wife grew up in Mexico, and as such, they love to travel internationally. They are married with 3 college age kids, two at BYU and one on a church mission in Chile. His hobbies center around his family, but on his own, he loves to scuba dive, hike and stay physically fit.

While he was at SAP, Nate worked on a concept to eliminate the paper instructions we are all familiar with today, and replace them with 3D graphical instructions. The idea was conceived, but to really bring it to life, he and his co-founder needed to take it outside the 4 walls.

This is the creation story of BILT.

Bay Curious - The Hidden History of Fort Scott

Wander onto the parade ground of Fort Scott, and one of the first questions that comes to mind is: "What is this place?" A large grassy field is bordered by tall beige buildings with red roofs. Their windows are boarded up and the place feels deserted. It's particularly odd because Fort Scott is just steps away from epic views over the Golden Gate Bridge, a well-traveled cycling path, and one of the biggest thoroughfares running through the park. But none of that bustle seems to reach this collection of empty buildings. What's the history of this place and why isn't being put to more modern use? In this episode KQED's Bianca Taylor takes us into the history of Fort Scott.
