82. Black Is Beautiful. Black Is Powerful. Black Is Profitable! Why More Representation On Stage Is Essential For Success!

We need more diversity and representation on stages, at events, behind the microphones, and in the executive boardrooms.But just stating that obvious fact and taking real action to make that a reality are two separate things.The truth is the only way change can occur, is by not only educating but empowering people in power to take action for change by aligning those investments, those initiatives, and those advances with what everyone wants more of: money.In this episode, I explain why more representation isn't just the right thing to do, it's the best financial thing to do. I share snippets from my interview with Megan Powers on the Trade Show Talk Podcast expressing my feelings on social impact, on the need for more women and diverse individuals with a seat at the table, and even got very personal regarding my experiences, vantage point, and reflection as a speaker, business owner, business leader, creator, and as a black man.Let me be crystal clear, black is not only beautiful, black is not only powerful, black is profitable!  Beyond The Episode Gems:Ready to delegate to accelerate?
