Episode 16: Is it Market Research or Political Pressure? DEI in the Workplace

In this episode, join us as we discuss the current state of the LGBTQ community, recent legislative changes in Texas, and the implications of corporations rolling back their DEI initiatives. We explore the shift from DEI to MEI (Merit, Excellence, Intelligence) and the impact of implicit bias on decision-making. The conversation emphasizes the importance of personal growth, listening, and engaging in difficult discussions to foster a more inclusive environment in workplaces.
