How to Human with Carlos Whittaker: On Walking with People Rather than Standing On Issues

/

Carlos Whittaker is bringing hope to humans all over the world. And he’s pretty good at it: he’s an author, podcaster, and global speaker backed by the power of a massive Instafamilia, his enthusiastic social followers who tune in daily to join forces with Carlos to find connection, do good, and be in community.

When Carlos enters a room, he makes people feel seen. His superpower is creating spaces—online and in-person—where people are safe to engage in conversation about the topics that matter most but are often avoided. His motto: don’t stand on issues, walk with people. That’s the professional stuff—but all day every day, Carlos is a family man. 

He and his wife Heather live in Nashville, Tennessee, with their three amazing children, where you can find them working on the family farm, planning trips aroundthe world, and dancing to Single Ladies (seriously, Google it).

In today’s episode we discuss how the last three years handed us ample reasons to disagree, but perhaps the one thing we can agree on is this: it’s hard to human out here. Enter, Carlos Whittaker with his brand new book: How to Human. This book is the essential, timely guide to sharing life beyond what distracts, divides, and disconnects us. 

In this episode, Carlos and Hilary chat over coffee about:

  • His backstory (he’s lived 9 lives)

  • The reason you shouldn’t give up even when it’s not working

  • Vocational identity

  • His experience taking a 9-week social media break

  • Practical ways to slow down

  • The value of walking with people rather than standing on issues

  • And *for the first time ever* he announces details about his NEXT book

Join us for a lively look at how to human in 2023.
