Operationalizing Love at Work (with Calista Smith, Scale Strategic Solutions)
What if love wasn’t “soft” in business—but a repeatable operating system for results? This week on Diversity Conversations, hosts Eric Ellis (Integrity Development Corporation) and Tommie Lewis (Make It Plain Consulting) welcome Calista Smith, President of Scale Strategic Solutions, to explore how leaders can turn values into real behaviors, build resilient cultures, and achieve outcomes that serve everyone.
Calista shares her powerful story of reuniting with her brother and what it taught her about community and belonging, plus practical insights on how to weave love into feedback, boundaries, and performance reviews. Eric and Tommie reflect on self-check conversations, sarcasm-free teams, and why love always wins the long game.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
