About this episode

"Let's go back to the basics of respect and fairness." 

In this episode I sit down with the incredible Pam Macalvane—bestselling author, DEI expert, and entrepreneur—to explore the evolving landscape of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Pam shares insights from her upcoming book, The Skinny on Inclusion, and reflects on her journey from a young leader with a mission to serve, to a powerhouse driving systemic change in corporate spaces.
