[01:03] Who is Mandy Price (and season two updates!) [03:10] Our first power walk to loosen things up! [05:22] Arm work even for people with injured shoulders. [07:14] How she proved venture capitalists wrong! [09:39] Building a fabulous team without paying salaries. [12:26] Finally, some leg work on this podcast! [13:57] Second speed walk (use those arms!) [16:06] Arm work (low effort and great for your deltoids). [17:28] What you don’t think about when you compare yourself to others. [20:09] Why data is so important for change to actually happen. [22:45] Last speed walk of the day. [24:58] Last arm work session of the day. [26:18] What kind of support system do you need to be a mom, CEO, and wife? [29:04] Word of the week.
3 Key Takeaways:
Metrics around diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) focus too much on recruitment. However, DEI challenges are much deeper than that and do not end with recruiting more minorities. Minorities have a different experience in the workplace. It is not enough to just discuss DEI. Data is necessary to bring in real action. If you don’t measure something, it’s not going to work. What you want to achieve may seem quite daunting, but remember that people who have ‘made it’ also started from somewhere. Embrace your passion, develop a plan, and work that plan until your idea reveals a greater purpose. Links:
