Summary

For many years it was Ruth King's job to work with large corporations, making them aware of racial bias within their company and helping them rectify it through diversity training and leadership development programs. Over time, for a variety of reasons, she decided it was time for a change. However, just as she was about to move in a new direction, she met a woman who would introduce her to meditation, which in turn would revolutionize how she approached the challenges of her career from that point forward.

0:00.0	Well done. You've sorted through the embarrassment of riches that is the modern podcast landscape
0:09.8	and found me Rob Briden on my podcast. In this series of Briden and I talk to among
0:17.2	others Harry Hill, Ben Elton, Charlotte Church, Steve Cougan and Dame Harriet Walter.
0:23.9	And that's just a few. We tend to chat for about 45 minutes to an hour never longer.
0:29.8	It's terrific conversation, reminiscent where appropriate and exchange of anecdotes.
0:36.0	So do join me Rob Briden wherever you get your podcasts.

1:23.7	Hey, how are we doing guys? Apologies in advance. My voice is a little raspy. Got a cold

1:42.5	taped a while ago. And I'm really excited about this interview. I know I say that every
1:46.6	week, but I really mean it every week. And in this case, I mean it in an especially
1:50.6	powerful and poignant way because Ruth King is among, if not the best person I've ever
1:59.4	spoken to about how to address perhaps the most painful issue in American public life
2:06.1	and one of the most painful issues on the planet, which is race. And she just has an incredible
