  • Episode 68: Diversity and Inclusion (Part 1)
    Carolyn and Seth welcome Cristina Greysman, the chair of CompTIA's Advancing Women in Technology community, to discuss the problem of diversity and inclusion in the high-tech industry. On this podcast, they take a look at CompTIA's research to describe the lack of diversity and the fact that companies may be overestimating their efforts in this space.
