Why I change DEI to D$I
from NeuroConversant Leadership · host Jeremy Doran
Most people have strong opinions about DEI. Jeremy has a different take: drop the E for equity and replace it with a dollar sign.In this solo episode, Jeremy reframes the DEI conversation around what actually drives business results — cognitive diversity and genuine inclusion. He makes the case that neurodivergent professionals represent an underutilized talent pool of 67 million Americans, and that the companies already winning (JPMorgan, Deloitte) aren't doing it out of social obligation. They're doing it because it works.Topics include:Why equity is nearly impossible to define — and what to focus on insteadThe business case for cognitive diversity (30–140% productivity gains)How subtle exclusion costs you your best thinkersPractical hiring strategies to reduce bias and widen the talent poolWhat it means to be neuroconversant
