From Shutters to Face Shields: A Conversation with Rick Skidmore

Future Fluency is a podcast series that challenges conventional thinking about the links between innovation, culture, the changing face of America, and what it means for business. We convene a wide range of perspectives—from neuroscientists and sociologists to those of authors and business leaders—to help make sense of how we think about diversity in this era of disruption. Hosted by Ashley Marchand Orme, Future Fluency is produced by the National Association of Corporate Directors.
