In this episode Michael Fanning talks with Anne and Dave Jones. Windermere owners. Their 25-agent firm "Windermere Abode" in Tacoma Washington is thriving. They both are not shy when it comes to speaking about diversity and creating a company that is committed to enhancing's their community and taking racism head on. " Our approach from the very beginning was to dismiss the idea that a business should be politically neutral." We've been able to weave this focus on community and social justice into what we do."
They are authentic, committed, consistent and passionate about the type of culture and support they give to their likeminded agents and the community they serve. They are dam good people.
It is easy for many of us to dip our toe in the water when it comes to systemic racism. I am as guilty as the next person. Some find it to be an uncomfortable topic. Dave and Anne are asking us all to do a deep dive and take responsibility to create change and look at how we are showing up today. It is not easy but very much needed and long overdue.
Dave says, if you are not sure where to start, start with yourself first. What is your view of the world today? Then see how you see diversity, equity, and inclusion? Ask yourself what can I do and where can I make an impact? It is being aware and as Anne says, "to be able to listen without bias."
Dave recommends the book. Race for profit.
Anne recommends the book Hood Feminisms
