In this episode of the "Kind Cotton Podcast," we sit down with Professor Chesko, also known as "The Speech Prof" to his 1.8 million followers on social media. Chesko is a tenured professor, national champion speech coach, former touring slam poet, and co-host of the “Mr. Pick Me & The Manhater” podcast.

Join us as Chesko shares his journey through academia, his research in compassionate education, intersectional feminism, and gender and communication, and how he leverages his platforms to combat online toxicity with a unique blend of kindness and comedy. Chesko delves into the challenges and rewards of being a stay-at-home parent, the pervasive influence of patriarchy, and the importance of kindness as "love in action."

Quotes
"Kindness is love in action. It's doing something even when no one's seeing it, even when no one's rewarding you for it, even when you're getting backlash for it, but you're still doing it because it's right."

 "It is disrupting those systems. It is finding you.

"For a lot of men, they don't see a woman's agency and her body as being the same thing as her right. There is her and then there's the thing they want."

"Men have people to look up to who are telling them this nonsense."

"The scary thing is these young guys, they're idolizing it because it makes the other guys laugh and makes them and I remember hearing those same things back then too."

"Our daughter is seeing a man who actually respects and appreciates women the same ways in which he treats men, but it's also important to have bigger voices out there really talking about this all of the time."
