Dion’s definite cousin joins us to discuss his experiences editing movies, educating executives on the importance of diverse perspectives and investing in recruitment efforts within minority communities in the Bay area. Rather than be angry that goofies make 6-figures, we’re reminding our listeners that strategy matters and just going to work and coming home everyday is a luxury we can’t afford.
Listen in as we discuss:
- Editing Oscar-winning films (10:00)
- Age, race, and gender diversity in tech (21:23)
- The Springboard Initiative (26:18)
- Still out here dictating culture (33:29)
