Becoming an Entrepreneur with Danielle Coke: When preparing the launch of the Plywood Podcast, we decided to launch by sharing two interviews of very different women! Jeni Britton Bauer was first. Next up, we ALL have the GIFT to hear from Danielle Coke, a designer turned illustrator, social justice advocate, and entrepreneur. She seeks to encourage faith, inspire justice, and guide us through loving our neighbors well. Her illustrations aim to make complex issues more digestible and help others find and use their passions to make a difference in their spheres of influence. In this episode, Dani shares a story that she's never shared before about the racism she's experienced, she talks about her journey of becoming an entrepreneur (overnight success or not?!), and we talk about tools and actions we can all take when it comes to anti-racism work. If you can, take notes. Be inspired by Dani's hope! by Social Impact Leader

Culture & Diversity: Stop Talking About It & Do Something. w/ Derek Young: Does your website say you hate certain types of people? Probably not. I’m willing to bet it says you value diversity.

To help explain how, I turned to Derek Young (who goes by D. Y. ), Culture Strategist at Derek Young Speaks and Author of Make My Hindsight Your 20/20, who has been on the frontlines fighting for diversity for over 20 years. In this episode, we discuss: - The 3 biggest mistakes to avoid when building your culture - Why accountability means consequences - How to live the values you claim on your website This post includes highlights of our podcast interview with Derek Young, Culture Strategist at Derek Young Speaks and Author of Make My Hindsight Your 20/20.
