Summer Crenshaw grew up in poverty, teaching her the importance of education and hustle at a young age.
“So many of my friends and family struggled because they couldn't get jobs in the standard sense,” she says. “My dad got a great job at a steel company because he showed up at the HR office and sat for hours on end until somebody in HR was willing to talk to him.”
Today, Summer is the CEO of TalentNow, the first unified marketplace that connects employers to talent without the “constraints of source, location or engagement model.” With more than 15 years of experience as a serial entrepreneur, she has made it her mission to help underrepresented individuals, including veterans like her husband, find employment.
On this episode of Human Resolve, Summer discusses how the future of work supports and even benefits underrepresented folks in all industries. In her eyes, technology has the power to lift everyone. Workers must adapt to the ever-changing tides, which is why empathy is your most important tool.
