#432 My Declaration of This Podcast!

This week I dive into the relatively new concept of unconscious bias and what can actually be drawn from it. I question the conclusions many groups and organizations draw from testing someone's unconscious bias and talk about why we should be careful to basically label everyone racist to some degree. I take an unconscious bias quiz and give my thoughts. Go take the quizzes and check out the videos for yourself. I'll provide a link below. Let me know your thoughts on this subject! I want this to be a conversation! Here's the link to the site I used in the episode: https://www.ceoaction.com/ Twitter: @ramblingviking Email: theramblingviking@gmail.com

In this episode I take a deep dive into the NBA Playoff scenarios and all the possible seeding outcomes depending on how the last games of the season go. I give my insight into who can make a run at the title and who I want to make a run. I also give my insight on the insignificance of a recent survey result that was released regarding the most underrated and overrated players in the NBA. Finally, we cover a fun little story of some mild BEEF between Richard Jefferson and KD. Let's have a conversation, I'd love to know your thoughts on any/all of these topics.

Today I tackle a personal issue: the misuse of a scaled rating/review system, primarily seen in customer service. I had an experience that we are all familiar with, "Give us a review, anything less than a 10/10 or 5/5 is failing for our standard..." I dive into why this is the wrong measuring stick for that style of review system and how we could fix this. If you want to weigh in on the conversation hit me up on twitter @theramblingviking

Today I tell a funny anecdote about my late grandfather but then tackle the big question, brought to the light in Utah involving an exchange between Westbrook and a fan, of the responsibility that players and fans have to each other in regards to heckling and sportsmanship. Where is the line? Are they held equally responsible to conduct themselves in a professional respectful manner.
