Join host Jeff Cherry in the latest episode of CTR as he dives into the heated debate surrounding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in today’s workplaces. With the rise of the controversial "MEI" (Merit, Excellence, and Intelligence) acronym, Jeff critiques this anti-DEI stance, highlighting how our narrow focus on merit alone ignores the systemic barriers that marginalized communities face.

In this thought-provoking episode, Jeff passionately argues for the undeniable economic advantages of a diverse workforce and emphasizes the urgent need for intentional strategies to attract diverse talent. Co-host Zay provides a rich historical context, examining how the term "woke" has been co-opted in modern discourse. Together, they underscore the vital role of leadership in championing diversity and expose the risks of using "ME" as a shield for exclusion.

Tune in for an enlightening conversation that challenges conventional thinking and champions the transformative power of inclusivity!
