#51: Dr. Jarik Conrad - Nourishment for our Mind and Body
Jarik Conrad, EdD, SPHR, SHRM-SCP
Rip welcomes human resources consultant, intercultural sensitivity expert, author, and plant-based advocate, Dr. Jarik Conrad, to discuss his book, "The Fragile Mind" and many other timely cultural, social, and health issues.
His life’s work is to help others find common ground through shared experience to develop deep and meaningful relationships, both in the workplace and in society.
As Dr. Conrad suggests, when you rid your body and mind of unnecessary toxins and processed junk food, it will have a direct positive impact on your emotional IQ and leadership style both at work and in the home. It’s also Conrad’s belief that changing what we eat will also help us forge deeper and more meaningful connections with each other right here in our own communities.
Rip and Dr. Conrad explore many questions in this eye-opening episode.
Despite our vast differences, how can we all come together to make our lives better and more fulfilled through shared experiences?
How can we, regardless of our backgrounds, foster empathy and understanding with each other?
How do we move the needle for others on a global understanding of health and plant-based nutrition?
The conversation is rich with lessons about human behavior because it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from. We are the same in our desire to live a more full, happy, and healthy life.
