It’s increasingly common for people with traditional jobs to be building their own businesses and brands outside of their regular working hours.

But when you have a traditional job, it can sometimes be difficult to assess how and where to show up publicly. This can be especially true if you work in a field like government or law enforcement.

Officer Kenny Dean joins India to discuss how he started and evolved his social media presence and developed his podcast while actively working in law enforcement.

In this discussion:

• Why Officer Dean felt that it was the right time to clarify and demystify police work for the public
• How he approaches hosting his show while balancing the needs of his department
• Officer Dean’s advice for building an audience while respecting your day job

We’ve been conditioned to show up to work as our “professional” self and leave our personal beliefs behind. But the truth is, values inform every area of our life, so why try to compartmentalize?

Each month in The Pause on the Play® Community we explore one specific way to make your values more explicit. Our curated connections and learning experiences will help you challenge harmful norms, show up as an imperfect ally®, and live in alignment.

Fashion is part of everyday life.

Whether you love it and follow the latest trends, or you’re a minimalist with a capsule wardrobe, or none of the above, we all have to wear clothes.

E.K. Powell joined India for a live conversation within The Pause on the Play Community about the lesser-known history of fashion, gender norms, and the role of capitalism in what we think are just preferences.

In this discussion:

• The real history of nail polish and high heels
• How cultural norms about childhood, gender, and color have evolved under the influence of capitalism
• The difference between trends set by people and norms created to sell more product
• How norms of gender and fashion prey on people’s fears
