Each episode, featuring a diverse lineup of guests from Rotary leaders to celebrities and activists, unpacks a different aspect of privilege and examines how it can be leveraged for positive change.
Join us for thought-provoking stories, expert insights, and a fresh perspective on the roles we play in a more equitable world. Tune in to challenge your views, discover unseen advantages, and learn how to use what you have for the greater good.

It's A Privilege
Trailer 2 | Journey for Peace and Messages Beyond
What would you say if you had to encapsulate the essence of humanity in a single message for space?
Join us in this sneak peek episode of IPrivilege Podcast, as we explore fascinating questions like these with our distinguished guests. We’ve got Gordon McInally, the Rotary International President, sharing his profound insights on global peace, and Nick Sierra of the Interstellar Foundation tackling the monumental task of defining humanity for extraterrestrial audiences. Plus, hear the extraordinary tales of Peter Teahen & John Ockenfels, two adventurers who navigated the world’s skies in the smallest plane possible in their mission to end polio.
Based on my TEDx talk, "The Possibilities of Privilege," this podcast unravels the complex emotions surrounding privilege, from guilt to anger, and the transformative impact it can have when wielded wisely. Mark your calendars for August 9th, 2024, as we prepare to launch full episodes that promise to challenge your perspectives and inspire meaningful conversations.

Thanks you for being a part of the conversation.
Welcome everybody to. It's a Privilege podcast where we explore the possibilities of our privilege. Now, this is just a promo, so I'm going to hop into things pretty quickly. The full episodes drop August 9th 2024. But until then, I'm just going to give you a little sneak peek into what to expect. So first, what is this podcast about? It's all based upon my TEDx talk back in March 2024 called the Possibilities of Privilege. Go ahead and Google Jason Brown TEDx Possibilities of Privilege. Go ahead and Google Jason Brown, ted X Possibilities of Privilege. Take a listen and leave a comment.
Jason Browne:Here's a clip from that video talking about why we're afraid to talk about privilege. You might have more privilege than me, and that's okay. In fact, I think that might be a good thing. I understand why we don't wanna talk about privilege. Privilege creates guilt when we have extravagance while others don't have basic needs. Privilege encourages defensiveness and entitlement when we feel like we've earned what others don't have. Privilege invokes anger when we see it used to harm or limit opportunities for oneself or for others. These feelings only scratch the surface of our emotions and the historical impacts of privilege. So, yes, privilege can be a bad thing if left unchecked, but if used effectively, it can be world-changing for individuals and for groups. There's a lot of great information in that TEDx talk and it is the foundation of this podcast, so I highly encourage you to watch the whole thing. Go ahead, leave a comment and come back and hang out and prepare yourself for it's a Privilege podcast.
Jason Browne:But what else can you expect from this podcast? Well, we have a number of great guests and great topics. Here are a few examples. We have Gordon McAnally, rotary International President from 23 to 24 of the 1.4 million Rotarians around the world. With Gordon, we talk about peace. We have Nick Sierra, executive director of the Interstellar Foundation. He's trying to answer a really interesting question. If we had to send a message into space and describe what humanity was, what would it be? How do we distill all of what we are into a single message? With him, we talk about humanity. We have peter tehan and john akenfels. These are two of 700 people who have flown around the world and they did it on like the smallest plane possible. With these two folks who did the flight to end polio, we're going to be talking about travel, so mark your calendars august 9th.
Jason Browne:It's a privileged podcast with a guest list that's way too long to mention here. Stay tuned to all of the social media.
