What if the assumptions you've never questioned are the ones most worth examining?
In her conversation with Joshua Agbontaen on the JDS Podcast, Julie Pham talks about exactly that — how the way we think about respect, inclusion, and communication is shaped by experiences so formative we rarely stop to notice them. And how naming those assumptions, rather than acting on them automatically, is where better leadership and better relationships begin.
She brings her full story to this one: growing up between Vietnamese and American cultures, what academia and community organizing taught her that business school couldn't, and how the 7 Forms of Respect® grew out of years of watching people talk past each other — not because they didn't care, but because they were each playing by different unspoken rules.
It's a grounded, practical conversation with a lot to take home.
