0:00.0	Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Radical Candor podcast. I'm a slightly under the weather, Jason Rosoff.
0:09.4	I am with the weather, Amy Sandler. You might notice Kim is not here today. So we are going to try something fun and experiment. And hopefully this will help Jason feel a little bit better and be fun for you
0:23.3	all. So let us know, last week we did an FAQ with Kim. Kim and I had a conversation where I asked
0:30.7	Kim a bunch of frequently asked questions that she gets about radical candor. And Kim isn't here, but I'm going to ask Jason the same
0:40.9	exact questions. And we are going to see how might Jason answer them as opposed to Kim. And part of why
0:49.2	we're going to do this asking the same questions is because, as you know, if you've been listening to us or reading the book,
0:56.5	etc., that radical candor, while at its core, it means care personally and challenged directly,
1:02.6	it's going to show up and mean different things to different people in different contexts.
1:08.2	Jason, how might you even say that differently than how I just said it?
1:12.9	Why are we doing this? The way that I think about radical candor is more like,

1:39.0	at the end of the conversation, the other person feels that they feel that I care about them.
1:45.8	And they're also really clear on whatever it was that we discussed.
1:50.7	So those are my goals.
1:52.0	And I think the care personally challenged directly, you know, I tend to abstract those out to kind and clear.
1:59.8	And that helps me. But I think other people
2:03.2	probably think about it slightly differently. And that's okay. As long as the result,
2:08.0	the end result is that the other person feels cared for and understands and is clear about
2:13.6	what the communication is that you're trying to have with them?
2:18.8	I find kind and clear is a really helpful proxy, and also one of the things we'll talk about
