We recorded this conversation on Friday, October 13th. It was less than a week after the horrific terrorist attack on Israel.

Since then, the humanitarian crisis in that region continues to escalate. We know we can't predict the state of world events whenever it is that you're listening to this show.

But what we will always be committed to is doing our best to lead with compassion. Hello, everybody, and welcome to

the Radical Candor podcast. I'm Kim Scott. And if you hear an echo, it's because I'm in

quarantine in an echoey room. And I'm Jason Rosoff. I'm Amy Sandler. Quarantine is, is it a state

of mind, a place, a location? It is my garage.

I'm Brandy Neal. Are you sleeping in the garage, Kim?

I am allowed outside, but not into the rest of the house.

You have a bedroom and a bathroom in there?

There is a bed, actually, which Jason recently used.

It's lovely.

Yeah, I'm not with me, obviously, with Gillian.

This was before I got COVID.

And there is a bathroom right in the room right next to this. So I'll hold my breath and go into that room and close the

door and use the bathroom and then hold my breath and run back into the garage and stay here.

That's what I'm doing. If I was going to have to quarantine, it really wouldn't be a bad spot.

Yeah, you're right. I'm making it sound bad. My garage is a lovely place to work.

And since you can't see, there's the beautiful orange, yellow, purple shelves, Kim. Are those even the right descriptors of the color? I'm sure they have, like, fancy names.

Yeah, no, I think it's orange, yellow, and it's kind of, I wish it were purple. It's maroon.

It's a little maroon, yeah.

Recently featured in the New York Times, Kim's beautiful.

Yes.
