In episode 10, host Jenn Watts talks with TJ Wright to discuss how you build authentic, inclusive organizations with diversity as a core value for your mission. This is an important episode for changemakers, leaders and entrepreneurs.

Over the past decade, TJ Wright has used his superpowers of Storytelling, Systems Thinking, and “Friend-raising” to blaze new pathways, opportunities, and leadership around what it means to exist authentically in the workplace.
