Two weeks after the election, Kori Carew and I sat down to discuss: (1) what had changed around the topic of authenticity, belonging, and courage since her last Hustle & Podcast interview in January 2020 and (2) what courageous leadership means in today’s divisive climate.

From an attack on books, DEI, and bodily autonomy, to the overwhelming victory of Trump and a rise in hateful rhetoric and behavior, how do we move forward with creating safe, equitable, and inclusive communities and workplaces?

This may be the most important conversation I’ve had on the podcast in a long time and I firmly believe that it will provide you with the wisdom, strength, and courage to find your own unique way to make a difference over the next four years and beyond.
