    Key Takeaways from This Episode:

    1. The only way to create proof is to act first.

      • “They want evidence that inclusion works without doing the work that creates the evidence.”

      • Building your evidence is better than borrowing rand evidence.

        • “If you want credibility, you don’t have to borrow it from people you don’t trust.”

        • The chicken and egg problem isn’t solved by reports. It’s solved by results.

          • “Most of that research is correlation, not causation.”
