Scared People Can't Think: The Neuroscience of Psychological Safety with Patricio Cuesta | E17

When we were, when we were first meeting, and we were talking about ideas of what we wanted to talk about for the show, your dad seemed like a big influence on you.

What did your dad do, or what does he do?

Yeah.

My, my dad is engineer.

Mm-hmm.

And, uh, he had, he had a big influence because the way he lives, he's very responsible, and he's about doing the right thing, and he's a great provider, so that was a good example for me.

But he's extremely good provider, extremely responsible, extremely professional in what he does, and he taught me not to go to that extreme.

Okay.

To not-- don't work extra hours, to look for having a balance.

Okay.

And also, uh, he, as he's engineer, and when I was thinking what to do when I was 17, I, you know, I started to discard a lot of things I didn't want to study, and then he helped me to figure out that maybe engineering could be something that I could like.

Mm-hmm.

And he was right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Those are the two, two influences I had from him that helped me a lot.

You know, and sometimes our parents will have us pursue something that is also their dream.

Do you think that he helped you find your own dream in engineering, or do you think he was helping you-

Yeah

... find his dream in engineering? What, what-

Yeah.

It, it's true.

Some parents, I think that they want their kids to do whatever they could not accomplish or, or to-

Yeah

... do to what they do because in that way they get validation.
