Brian Burley is the founder of YNGBLKPGH, a book and community of talented black professionals in and around the city of Pittsburgh.

 

Brian came on Going Deep to discuss the absolute necessity of cities and corporations adopting more empathetic and diverse approaches to attracting and retaining talent.

 

He has a distinct perspective that he has earned through writing his book profiling over 100 black professionals, working in economic development for the Pittsburgh region, and leading conversations about diversity at ADP.

 

Aaron and Brian also cover the rise of Juneteenth into the national conversation and effective ways to market & message these important ideas.

 

Pittsburgh’s best conference to Expand your Mind & Fill your Heart happens once a year.

 

Brian Burley’s Challenge; Go learn something new about someone else’s culture or experience. Try to put yourself in their shoes.
