Podcast appearances and mentions of Amanda Nguyen

This episode is a bit special. Julian is joined by one of his closest friends and former AWS colleagues, Huy Nguyen, to talk about something we often overlook in our careers and lives — the power of genuine human connection.In 2024, Huy made an unusual choice. He chose to get off the hamster wheel and take a career break to focus the entire year on being present with friends and community. From a Big Fat Greek wedding in Greece to conversations on balconies in Vietnam, his travels weren't about sightseeing. They were about belonging.Together, Huy and Julian unpack what it takes to build a strong community over time. Huy shares two timeless principles that guide his approach: show up and be curious. You don't need any plan or intention beyond these two things. Making time and being interested is enough. Messy is still effective if you show up with curiosity.They also dig into:The quiet epidemic of disconnection, and what to do about itWhy texting someone you haven't spoken to in years is never as weird as you thinkHow connection can be one of the most overlooked forms of self-careWhy moments of “I was just thinking about you” matter more than you realizeThis episode is warm, honest, and full of the kind of reflections that tend to stick with you. If you've been meaning to reconnect with someone — consider this your invitation.___Huy Nguyen LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/huywin/Saving Five (by Amanda Nguyen): https://pybitesbooks.com/books/dCMFEQAAQBAJ____

Your people are already using AI - but they might not be telling you about it, because they are worried you will think they are lazy, incompetent, or cheating! If they are afraid to tell you, that's YOUR fault - and a huge missed opportunity.https://swiy.co/go-ai-secretsSomebody recently asked me whether I thought there's too much hype about AI. I said yes, and he immediately jumped on that and said,“So you admit AI is all hype!”No! That's not what I said.Yes, there's too much hype about AI. But there's also real value you can get from AI. Both of those things can be right – there's no contradiction.It's like Katy Perry going into space and then claiming it as a milestone for feminism. That's hype! But equally, you could praise Amanda Nguyen – a real scientist, advocate for women's rights, and nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize – who also went on that same trip to space.Hype and value aren't necessarily contradictory.A lot of technology is over-hyped – especially something like AI, which pushes a lot of emotional buttons. It's also hyped by the American tech bros (or “broligarchs”) trying to talk up the value of AI to push up the value of their own companies.At the same time, millions of people are rolling up their sleeves, using AI, and getting real value from it.And this is true of your employees, too.Some recent research from Google and Ipsos found that in Australia, 74% of people – that's three out of four – are using AI at work. But some other research from Slack done at about the same time found 42% of them don't want to admit it to their manager!Why? You can guess at the reasons – the top three were:1. Their manager might think they are lazy2. Their manager might think they are incompetent3. Their manager might think they are cheatingSo what are YOU like as a leader?Are you open to AI? And more importantly, are you publicly open to it?Do you make it clear to your team they can use AI and should be using it? And are you giving them the tools, resources, environment, and guidelines on using it well?As you bring your people on the AI journey, it's more important than ever that you have clear, open, transparent conversations with them – about how they feel, what they want from AI, what they are already doing with it, and what worries them about it.AI is here. It's not going away. And you might already be in a lucky position with your people embracing it.Just be sure you support it, facilitate it, and help them go further with it.Download my worksheet here for some questions you can ask in these AI conversations with your team.Download the worksheet:https://swiy.co/go-ai-secrets Hosted on Acast.

We hear why Sarah is starting to get messages from people from "beyond the grave." We discuss animal sounds and how people around the world imitate animals through onomatopoeia, and why they're all different. We're mad about the ladies that went to space and acted like morons. We debate whether a man who got stolen casino chips should be able to cash them out. We get an update on the family who accidentally ended up with 52 octopuses, and it offers insight about the dangers of virality. We think aliens are stealing cows again and we don't understand why the town doesn't realize that's where their livestock went. Sarah thinks aliens also turn people into limestone though, so who knows. Plus, we learn what makes a good apology by analyzing the apologies on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Blue Origin, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's space tourism company, completed its latest spaceflight on Monday with a six-member all-female crew that included pop singer Katy Perry; CBS Mornings host Gayle King; and Lauren Sánchez, an author, TV host turned philanthropist and Bezos's fiancée.They were joined by activist Amanda Nguyen, ex-NASA engineer Aisha Bowe and film producer Kerianne Flynn on the suborbital flight, which lasted less than 11 minutes.King defended the Blue Origin mission in an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday after hearing criticism from people she knows, likes and “considers friends.”uaydarius Davis, a former 4-star recruit from Skyline High School in Dallas, Texas, was arrested and charged with burglary, domestic abuse and battery by strangulation, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by WFAA. Davis, who played college football for Jackson State University, Texas Southern University and most recently Southern University, according to his player bio on ESPN.com, was arrested in Tulsa, Okla., after video footage showed him choking a woman until she lost consciousness, according to the affidavit.Coachella ticket prices are around $599, to experience headliners like Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, and Post Malone. But how are fans paying that in this economy? Thanks to payment plans, those steep costs are becoming increasingly manageable. This year, around 60% of general admission ticket buyers used Coachella's in-house payment plan, which allowed fans to reserve tickets for as little as $49.99 upfront. The remaining balance was typically spread over three months—a model reshaping how festivals are marketed.

As the title suggests, it's been a bit of a month for pop culture. A crew consisting of Katy Perry, Gayle King, Lauren Sanchez, Aisha Bowe and Amanda Nguyen launched their astronautical careers and flew up to space where they duly conquered it in a respectable 11 minutes. We speak about other topics too! Things are getting a bit crazy in the white lotus eating world with Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood confounding eagle eyed social media users with their feudal antics. What's your view on these topics?

Pope Francis passes away on the Easter Long Weekend. Pop Star Tate McRae faces backlash choosing to collaborate with country music star Morgan Wallen. Update on Australian election campaign and policies. Gayle King defends her trip to space with Katy Perry and Amanda Nguyen's story overlooked. Harvard goes head to head with the Trump administration.

This week in women: the UK Supreme Court declares that transwomen are not women, and women are lauded for putting on matching jumpsuits and being launched into space for a minute. In Britain, rapists can no longer pretend to be women; in the United States, we are asked to celebrate one of the oldest plays in the book—attractive woman attaches herself to wealthy man and attains power—and pretend that it represents female empowerment, while conveniently forgetting actually skilled women who have come before. Also: a hostage situation in Podcastistan: in which we explore the strange about-face of some prominent free speech warriors. Finally: the amazing institution that is Ralston College, whose themes are truth, freedom of inquiry, beauty, and fellowship.*****Our sponsors:Timeline: Accelerate the clearing of damaged mitochondria to improve strength and endurance: Go to http://www.timeline.com/darkhorse and use code darkhorse for 10% off your first order.ARMRA Colostrum is an ancient bioactive whole food that can strengthen your immune system.

6 Women took flight on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket to the edge of space and a powder keg of hype and celebrity blew up the internet. Something about this all-female mission triggered people from all sides, with many jumping on the trend or not even realizing this billionare space race has been underway for a while (or even what the Karman line is). This episode lays out some basic facts about the mission and dedicates coverage of the two women with (IMO) the most powerful stories of the NS-31 crew, Aisha Bowe and Amanda Nguyen. These are chaotic times, with people chasing the algorithm - but that doesn't mean we can't share the powerful stories underneath the hype & celebrity of it all. The Space Conundrum is in full effect! So let's dig in to try and understand WHY and hear Aisha & Amanda's stories in their own voices.

Opening:     •    The crew (Jordan, Mr. Williams Comedy, and Jason) open with playful banter about comedy names and Jason's signature response: “I'm dynamite.”     •    They officially announce the Three's Comedy Tour, with stops in:     •    Atlanta (Stage Door Theater – May 29)     •    Ferryville, VA (Copper Fox Distillery – July 18–19)     •    Williamsburg, VA (Copper Fox Distillery – August 29–30)     •    Plans to add a June date are in the works.     •    The idea is to build synergy between the podcast and their stand-up acts, with potential for live podcast tapings in the future. Middle Segments:     •    60 Hours in a Day? A long and hilarious debate unfolds about time, days, and Earth's rotation. Jonathan jokingly proposes that a true day should be 60 hours, sparking back-and-forth arguments about circadian rhythms, Mars time, and how arbitrary time systems really are.     •    Blue Origin Controversy: The group discusses Jeff Bezos' latest Blue Origin space flight, which featured an all-women crew (including Katy Perry and Gail King). While the mission was promoted as a feminist milestone, the hosts critique it as tone-deaf, self-serving PR, especially given the political climate and global instability.     •    Special note: They show empathy for Amanda Nguyen, a survivor-turned-activist whose spaceflight dream had a deeper meaning.     •    They slam the commercialism and celebrity inclusion, joking about a “Blue Orgy” and mocking the performative nature of the launch.     •    Festival Fails & Coachella Moments:     •    They react to d4vd's viral Coachella backflip fail and compare it to a stage dive gone wrong by Ginuwine and a now-infamous Miguel leg-drop.     •    They roast festival stunts, influencer culture, and the generational divide in handling on-stage mishaps. Final Segment: Bernie Sanders at Coachella     •    A surprise Coachella appearance by Bernie Sanders sparks heated (and hilarious) debate:     •    Jonathan argues that Bernie's message is necessary and urgent, even if it interrupts the party vibe.     •    Others point out the tension between escapism and activism—but agree that in this political moment, awareness is critical.     •    They close with sharp political commentary balanced with comedy and a reminder that the world can't be ignored just because we're having fun.

In 2013, Amanda Nguyen was a Harvard senior interested in pursuing a career at NASA or the CIA. But she says those plans were temporarily derailed when she was raped just a few months before graduation. Nguyen went on to become an advocate for survivors of sexual assault – and her advocacy resulted in federal legislation that changed the way law enforcement handles rape kits. Now, she's out with a book about her experience called Saving Five: A Memoir of Hope. In today's episode, Nguyen speaks with NPR's Ailsa Chang about navigating bureaucracy as a survivor, sharing her story with lawmakers, and her parents' response to her activism.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

In 2013, the trajectory of Amanda Nguyen's life was changed forever when she was raped at Harvard. Determined to not let her assault derail her goal of joining NASA after graduation, Nguyen opted for her rape kit to be filed under “Jane Doe.” But she was shocked to learn her choice to stay anonymous gave her only six months to take action before the state destroyed her kit, rendering any future legal action impossible. Nguyen knew then that she had two options: surrender to a law that effectively denied her justice, or fight for a change―not only for herself but for survivors everywhere. She comes to Commonwealth Club World Affairs to discuss the issues raised in her memoir of survival and hope, Saving Five, which braids the story of Nguyen's activism―which resulted in Congress's unanimous passage of the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act in 2016―with a second imagined adventure, of Nguyen's younger selves as they―at ages 5, 15, 22, and 30―navigate through dramatic incarnations of the emotional stages of her path toward healing, not only from her rape but from the violent turmoil of her childhood. Nguyen did go on to work at NASA and other scientific institutions, and in 2024, private space company Blue Origin announced that Nguyen would be the first Vietnamese woman to fly into space on one of its upcoming missions. Additionally, Nguyen ignited the Stop Asian Hate movement and continues to help others through Rise, her civil rights accelerator. For her groundbreaking contributions she was nominated for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize and is a 2022 Time Woman of the Year. Our program will begin with an introduction by Rowena Chiu, a former assistant to Harvey Weinstein. In 1998, she was sexually assaulted by him at the Venice Film Festival, and was coerced into signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), which silenced her for over 20 years. In 2017, a New York Times journalist came to her home and doorstepped her husband of over a decade, revealing information about the assault and NDA. Rowena was featured in the subsequent Timesinvestigation, but she insisted on remaining anonymous. In 2019, she finally broke her story on the NBC "Today" Show, live in front of 3 million viewers. Rowena's story has featured in both the book and the movie, She Said. She has given over 1,000 media interviews across four continents, for international news outlets such as: ABC, BBC, CBS, and NBC. She has testified at the House of Commons, the Massachusetts State House, and attended the State of the Union. She is writing a memoir, a novel, and a screenplay, in addition to working as a global #MeToo activist, advocating for the rights of those who are oppressed or voiceless, in churches, schools, universities and workplaces around the world.

Emellett szó esett a mamutszőrös egerekről és a molylepkék szaglását utánzó drónokról is.Kriptovaluták és Trump: Játékszer vagy befektetés?Női űrutazás: Amikor a főnök barátnője ingyen repülBálnák és vas: Hogyan trágyázzák az óceánt?Kecsap és majonéz: A gasztronómia csúcsaTörténelmi pillanatnak lehettünk tanúi: a Microsoft bejelentette, hogy májustól kiveszi a 60 perc ingyenes Skype-hívást az M365 csomagból, ezzel megkezdve a Skype korszakának lezárását. A 2003-ban indult szolgáltatás, amely sokunk számára az első videóhívási lehetőséget jelentette, 22 év után lassan a múlté lesz. Nosztalgiával emlékeztünk vissza, hogy milyen early adapterek voltunk, amikor az ICQ mellett ezt is elkezdtük használni. A Microsoft egyébként más termékeket is felvásárolt az évek során, mint például a LinkedIn-t, ami mostanra inkább egy "udvarias Facebook"-ká vált, ahol a karrier építés mellett egyre több a marketing tartalom.Korábban már beszéltünk a mentődrónokról, és most kiderült, hogy Kínában a BYD kifejlesztett egy autótetőre szerelhető drónt. Míg a DJI hasonló megoldása, a Dock-3 horribilis áron, 21.059 dollárba kerül, addig a kínai olcsósított változat már 2.200 dollár körüli összegért kínál hasonló funkciókat. A drón legfeljebb 25 km/h sebességig tud fel- és leszállni, 50 km/h-ig nem marad le az autótól, és körülbelül 2 kilométerre tud eltávolodni. Használható 360 fokos parkolássegítőként, vagy akár arra is, hogy előre küldjük parkolóhelyet foglalni. Átgondoltuk a későbbi lehetőségeket, amikor egyszerre több drón is versengene ugyanazért a parkolóhelyért - és megküzdenének a parkolóhelyekért.A Colossal Biosciences, amely a szibériai mamut visszaállításán dolgozik 2028-ra, most egy látványos eredményt mutatott be: sikerült mamutszőrt növeszteniük egereken. A tudósok szerint ez mind színre, mind állagra megfelel az eredeti mamutszőrnek. A cég értékelése nemrég 10,2 milliárd dollárra emelkedett, miután újabb 200 millió dolláros befektetést kaptak. Szerintünk ezek a gyapjas-egerek kiváló háziállatok lehetnének, és, hogy talán már csak pár keresztezés szükséges a mamut kialakításához.Megvitattuk a Blue Origin következő űrutazását, amely az első, kizárólag női utasokkal induló magán űrrepülés lesz. A résztvevők között lesz a népszerű énekesnő, 2I/I (két I per I, Katie Perry), az amerikai újságíró Gale King, két tudós (Aisha Bow és Amanda Nguyen), valamint Lauren Sanchez, Jeff Bezos menyasszonya és egy filmproducer. Rájöttünk, hogy míg a többiek valószínűleg fizetnek az útért, addig "a főnök csaja ingyen utazik". Ez lesz egyébként a New Shepard 31. útja az űr határára.Show notes: https://zartosztaly.hu/222-erzeki-oromok(00:02:44) Crypto keményedés(00:06:43) Gondolati ugrás(00:07:10) Skype utolsó felvonás(00:14:09) Állás copilot(00:21:08) Épületes hallucináció(00:26:15) Boyler eladó(00:26:34) SpaceX a RUDak királya(00:28:48) Kék Űrhajósnők(00:34:04) Parkolási drón(00:40:40) Ma jó néz!(00:45:09) Moly-drón(00:51:46) Gyapjas egerek(00:56:37) A bálnakaki, nincs is mélyen!

Amanda Nguyen is an activist, survivor, Nobel peace prize nominee and founder of social justice incubator, Rise and a future astronaut. After surviving a rape on her college campus, Amanda experienced the broken justice system for sexual violence survivors first-hand and set out to change the law. She and her team passed the Sexual Assault Survivors Rights Act in Congress unanimously and she has since gone on to help pass 33 bills. Amanda recently spoke out and demanded a spotlight on the rise in anti-Asian violence that has occurred since the pandemic began, igniting a much-needed national conversation. Amanda shares with Between Headlines the importance of including Asian American Pacific Islanders in anti-racist work and what we can all do to stop the hate.

Welcome to March! This month, in honor of women’s history month, we are featuring conversations with women and non-binary leaders who are working to address issues in their communities. This week, we’re speaking with Amanda Nguyen. Amanda is the CEO and founder of RISE, a millennial-driven social change incubator for citizen lawmaking. Because of her work passing legislation for sexual assault survivors, she was nominated for a 2019 Nobel Peace Prize. More recently, Amanda has been working to mobilize a nationwide response to the surging attacks on Asian Americans. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Asian Americans across the country have reported being targeted in 3,000 hate incidents. According to NYPD data, anti-Asian American hate crimes are up 1900% in the last year. And just weeks ago,, an 84-year-old Thai American man was murdered in San Francisco, a 91-year-old man was shoved to the ground in Oakland’s Chinatown, a 64-year-old Vietnamese woman was assaulted in San Jose and a Filipino American man was slashed in the face on a subway in New York City. These assaults are happening during a pandemic where Asian Americans have disproportionately lost their jobs or had their businesses boycotted. In response to the recent attacks and to the relative silence of mainstream media, Amanda posted a now-viral video on Instagram naming the attacks and calling for media attention and public action. Amanda joins us to talk about this wave of violence and what she’s doing about it.

A string of brutal attacks on elderly Asian Americans has brought new attention to the rise of violence and harassment of Asian Americans. Since the pandemic began, more than 3,000 anti-Asian "hate incidents" have been reported in the U.S. according to the group, "Stop AAPI Hate."

Content Warning: This episode contains references to rape and sexual assault. It’s time for Afternoon Tea, and this week Sami Sage is joined by Amanda Nguyen, civil rights activist, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, and founder of Rise. They start with the story of how Amanda founded Rise and began actually writing her rights into law. They explain the concept of “Hopeanomics,” the process of how agendas are set, and why it’s critical to understand how the lawmaking rules work in order to play the game yourself. They also discuss a recent viral video featuring Amanda, and what’s coming up next for her (it includes Paris Hilton, believe it or not). Finally, they round things out with the four questions, leading to a conversation about how empathy is the solution to all the world’s problems.

Today I want to share the story of Amanda Nguyen… back in 2013, as a senior at Harvard University, Amanda survived rape. She got a rape kit, but she knew as a young 20-something with limited time and resources that she was not well-positioned to handle a lengthy trial that could potentially last several years. Since the statute of limitations in Massachusetts for rape is 15 years, Amanda knew she had time to press charges when she might be better positioned to go to trial, allowing her to pursue her mental and emotional health and well-being in the wake of the assault.   But soon, Amanda received a completely uninformative notice that her rape kit would be destroyed after 6 months if she did not file an extension. The notice didn’t even tell her what she needed to do to file the extension, so she had to figure it out herself. She knew the system was broken and needed reform.    Amanda helped put the Sexual Assault Survivors’ Rights Act on the table and it passed through both houses of congress UNANIMOUSLY in 2016. She is the founder and CEO of the NGO @risenow.us and works to help ensure that citizens’ access to justice is not dependent on geography. They’re working on legislation in all 50 US States and are even working with the United Nations on a global resolution, too!    You can get involved or donate today by following @risenow.us and clicking the link in their bio! -------------- Follow Rise on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/risenow.us/ Follow Amanda on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/amandangocnguyen/ -------------- Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/iconicwomenpodcast & Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahkheeter/ Shop Merchandise!: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CupcakesandApplejax

Show Notes for Episode Fourteen of seX & whY: COVID-19 through a Gender Based Lens Part 2 Host: Jeannette WolfeGuests: Dr Gary Barker CEO of Promundo- an organization that promotes healthy masculinity and gender equality Dr Stephen Burrell Assistant Professor in the Dept of Sociology at Durham University - whose area of focus in on engaging men and boys in the prevention of violence against women. Here are some of the take-home points of our discussion. The need to clearly label preliminary studies as “preliminary” to avoid early adoption of inadequately proven therapies The importance of both including both males and females in research drug trials and in analyzing results by biological sex. (For example, from toxicology research it is known that females are at greater risk for drug-induced QTc prolongation - which can trigger a dangerous arrhythmia- than men, yet this consideration was not taken into the design and analysis of almost all the hydroxychloroquine studies even though we know that QTc prolongation is one of this drug's most well-known side effects. The need to go beyond biological sex to look at social and environmental determinants that help identify “which men” or “which women” (or “which nonbinary person”) is at greatest risks so that we can better direct interventions. This approach often quickly spotlights longstanding heath inequity issues. If the goal is to improve health outcomes to consider subtly shifting the approach away from how can men better engage with health care systems towards how can health care systems better engage with men is quite important. Dr Barker shared an excellent example of a project he was involved with in Brazil in which men were approached during their partners prenatal clinic visits to make their own health related appointments. This pandemic has been associated with some significant collateral health related damage including: people being afraid to seek out medical care for true emergencies; huge shortages of reproductive health services; increasing prevalence of domestic violence; and mental health related issues triggered by loneliness and isolation. Here is the link to the Pew Study that Dr Barker mentioned. Here is the link for the Harvard GenderSci Here are some links for the challenges India is having with obstetrical care including this NY Times article Amanda Nguyen's Rise UP 19 program that allows domestic violence victims to be helped by restaurant owners. Special thanks to Doug Deems who helped me edit this podcast.

After survivor and activist Amanda Nguyen learned her rape kit could be destroyed even if the statute of limitations on her case hadn’t yet been reached, she took action. That action led her to create RISE – an organization dedicated to helping ordinary citizens pen their own rights into laws. She joined the podcast to reflect on her journey, some of the most impactful laws they’ve passed, and how they’re gamifying the lawmaking process to get more people involved.

Amy and the gang are back, and they’re more worthless than ever. On the season 2 premiere, Nobel Peace Prize nominee Amanda Nguyen joins. They talk about “The Bachelorette,” the time Amy stole an all-white pantsuit, and writing laws to protect sexual assault survivors.

An estimated 25 million Americans are rape survivors. The Bureau of Justice Statistics three years ago estimated only 23 percent of rapes or sexual assaults are reported. For those that do report their assaults, they are confronted with medial and legal procedures that are challenging and sometimes not understandable. And there is an assumption that if a rape kit is produced, it will be stored as long as the victim needs. But the local and state laws across the country are not uniform and victims are sometimes surprised their kits have either not been tested or are no longer available. We have two guests who have been deeply involved in this field. Amanda Nguyen is the founder of Rise, a nonprofit that fights for the civil rights of sexual violence survivors. As a student at Harvard on a promising astrophysics track, she was raped. Her experience led her to work with Congress and the administration to pass the Sexual Assault Survivor’s Bill of Rights just two years later. Her work has resulted in changes in more than 20 states. Kemp Hannon, as a New York state senator, successfully passed legislation that led to sweeping changes in how his state handles, processes and stores rape kits. He said many in law enforcement and even district attorneys believed rape kits were being tested and stored for future use. His research and work with advocate organizations found a different story and he was determined to change it. Additional Resources Transcription of Episode 63

YOUR MOST POWERFUL TOOL IS YOUR VOICE. We are surrounded by stories of injustice around us. It can be overwhelming. Screaming with anger doesn’t get you very far. Making the other side wrong just makes a war. So how can you make a change? You have to come from a place of compassion. Know the result that you want. Stop leading with emotion and try instead to focus on the concrete change you want to make. We live in a democracy- our voice counts. On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I discuss how the legislative system works with a powerful sexual assault advocate: Amanda Nguyen. Amanda Nguyen is the founder and CEO of Rise, a non-governmental civil rights organization. She was the power behind the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act, one of 23 bills to pass unanimously through US Congress. She was in Forbes' 2017 "30 Under 30" Law & Policy list and was an invited speaker at the 2017 Women's March on Washington. In 2018, California representatives Mimi Walters and Zoe Lofgren nominated Nguyen for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize. Amanda was raped in college and soon after learned of the injustices surrounding sexual assault survivors. Instead of getting angry, she made a change. So get ready to learn how you can make a difference by taking political action on Episode 788. Some Questions I Ask: How does someone rewrite a law?

Dan talks to Amanda Nguyen, the driving force behind the Sexual Assault Survivor’s Bill of Rights, who has launched an “accelerator” for ordinary people trying to get civil rights laws passed.

Amanda Nguyen was appalled to find that the laws around the preservation of her rape kit would make it difficult for her to seek justice after her sexual assault. Outraged, she marched onto Capitol Hill, determined to get Congress to listen to her story and change the laws. But she was ignored again and again. Nguyen tells host Ann Friedman the story of how she eventually caught the attention of the people in power, and “penned her own civil rights into existence.”

Managers accept the world as it is; movement starters push the boundaries to make it more just, compassionate, and even joyful. We all need to decide: Are we managers or movement starters? When Mark Zuckerberg changed the mission of Facebook this summer to be focused on community, he hired Jennifer Dulski to lead Groups, at the center of their new strategy, and used by more than one billion people to build meaningful communities around the world. With a career as a tech executive at Yahoo! and Google, a startup founder and CEO, and a social change leader as president of Change.org, Dulski is now combining her own experience with stories of other inspiring leaders to show how we all have the power to start movements that matter. In her new book, PURPOSEFUL, she walks through the steps to go from idea to impact and shares specific tips and stories from real movement starters -- from students to retirees -- whose movements have created everything from new laws to new companies. Jennifer Dulski will discuss: Movements and social change: From the Women’s March to the #MeToo movement to the recent resurgence in the fight for gun control in the aftermath of the Parkland shooting, people are rallying others around common purpose to achieve their goals. Women in leadership: Jennifer has long been a leading woman in tech, she led one of the six business units at Yahoo!, she co-founded and served as CEO at The Dealmap, a location-based deals service, which she sold to Google in 2011, making her the first female entrepreneur to sell a company to Google. Over 75% of the individuals featured in the book are women, including: Amanda Nguyen, the founder and president of Rise, a national civil rights nonprofit dedicated to fighting for the rights of sexual assault victims; and Kara Goldin, founder of Hint Water. Facebook movements taken offline: Surviving Hijab is a community for women to support each other around the decision to wear the hijab. The group was initially just for friends. But just two weeks after creator Manal Rostom started it, there were 40,000 members in the group and it has now grown to nearly 500,000. The group's members encourage each other to be active and proud of their hijab. The group has influenced Nike to create its first Pro Hijab, which TIME recently named as one of the best inventions of 2017. Business practices: The most effective leaders are those that see themselves as movement starters, not only activists, but also entrepreneurs and business people. Jennifer shares tips for leaders in business on how to respond to pressure from changemakers -- whether it be your consumers or public sentiment. In a time when our world needs change more than ever, Dulski shows how each of us can learn the leadership skills necessary to rally people around common propose, whether we are activists or entrepreneurs. About the author: Jennifer Dulski is the head of Facebook Groups and Community. She also has more than 15 years' experience in successful startups and big-brand internet companies, including Yahoo! and The Dealmap, which was acquired by Google in 2011, and was most recently president and COO of Change.org. Dulski writes about leadership, management and entrepreneurship for LinkedIn Influencers, Fortune, Huffington Post and other media outlets.

This week I sat down with Amanda Nguyen, activist, future astronaut and founder of Rise, a national civil rights nonprofit that helps survivors of sexual assault. After being raped in college, Amanda discovered just how few rights victims of sexual assault actually had within the criminal justice system. Thanks to Amanda and the work of many others, the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act was unanimously passed in Congress in 2016. In our conversation, we talk about Rise, why no one should ever be pressured to tell their story, and why she still has every intention of becoming an astronaut. It's enough to help even the most cynical cynic believe that anything is possible -- and to always reach for the stars.

We never thought we'd do a single episode on both outer space and sexual assault, but that's because we hadn't met activist and aspiring astronaut Amanda Nguyen yet. She founded the organization Rise, to advocate for the rights of survivors of rape. Did you know that in some states, untested rape kits can be thrown away after 30 days? Amanda tells us how legislation reflects rape culture, and how we can change this. When she's not busy fighting, Amanda is preparing herself for space travel. (Yup!) We talk about who we'd want to beam into the beyond, and remember that even in the darkest of times in this universe, we're never alone because we have each other.
