After coming across Andrew's frequent posts focusing on the mental side of trading on twitter, the guys had to reach out and invite him into the China Shop. Listen along as we discuss struggles and key lessons learned in Andrew's journey and his trading style/philosophy before veering off into the weeds to learn more about his animation career and movie credits.About Andrew: Andrew is just a retail dude slinging contracts who also has a career in feature film animation, runs a small studio, his own software business and has a pretty reasonable track record in endurance running/biking. All of these things have really shaped who he is as a trader. Consistency is Andrew's number one focus, and he works pretty hard on his mental head space in order to achieve that goal. Guest Links:See His Work in This Life of Pi SceneAnd This Scene TooSocial Links:Follow on Bigfoot TwitterIf you enjoyed this week's guest, check out our directory for other amazing interviews we've done in the past!If you like our show, please let us know by rating and subscribing on your platform of choice!If you like our show and hate social media, then please tell all your friends!If you have no friends and hate social media and you just want to give us money for advertising to help you find more friends, then you can donate to support the show here!Paypal donation linkChina Shop Links:2 Bulls DiscordChina Shop MerchGuest DirectoryAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week in the China Shop, Micah Kessel, CEO of Empathable stops by for an interesting discussion on empathy and how it can affect the bottom line of corporations of any size. Micah also shows us how to spot companies with poor culture by looking into retention rates and explains how poor empathy disproportionately affects people who aren't part of the majority. We also discuss why typical trainings are ineffective and how Empathable is taking a different approach as it works with companies like Cisco, Meta and Altria.About Micah:For nearly two decades, Micah J. Wonjoon Kessel has designed empathic experiences applying research on the science of emotions. Pioneering behavioral design in the Netherlands, he advised on experiential concepts with organizations such as Google, Disney, Microsoft, and projects for flourishing across social divides with the Finnish and Swedish governments, and the Diabetes Fund.  Currently, Micah is Design Lead at Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett’s neuroscience lab, IASLab, at Northeastern Psychology, and at Dr. Mahzarin Banaji’s implicit bias research lab at Harvard Psychology. He applies this research as Executive Director of Empathable, which has created a facilitated experience and an app that is changing the paradigm of how we learn through experience, resulting in increasing empathy while decreasing bias and polarization on an organizational and national scale.Under Micah’s direction, Empathable’s team is a winner of the Harvard Culture Lab Innovation Fund Award in 2020, granted by their joint council of Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging. The Empathable Experience has been shared with over 100 organizations, including the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education, at the Black in Design Conference, and multiple Fortune 50 companies. He has presented his work at Harvard Medical School, the Society for Neuroscience and Creativity, The Boston Museum of Science, Darden School of Business, and was a 2019 Byron fellow. Micah speaks English, German, Italian, Dutch, Flemish, and some French and enjoys speaking and writing on the topic of experience and subjective realism. Guest Links:Empathable WebsiteMicah Kessel's WebsiteSocial Links:Follow Empathable on TwitterFollow Empathable on InstagramFollow Empathable on LinkedInIf you enjoyed this week's guest, check out our directory for other amazing interviews we've done in the past!If you like our show, please let us know by rating and subscribing on your platform of choice!If you like our show and hate social media, then please tell all your friends!If you have no friends and hate social media and you just want to give us money for advertising to help you find more friends, then you can donate to support the show here!Paypal donation linkChina Shop Links:2 Bulls DiscordChina Shop MerchGuest DirectoryAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
