As we celebrate Women's History Month we know that women have been instrumental worldwide in businesses and their successes.

Hiring more women talent is a key ingredient that will aid to the success of your business and company. Today let's discuss this from the lens of Ursula Burns, the first black woman to become a Fortune 500 CEO.

FathersFyre is now international! I'm so excited. This week I have my first international guest from Scotland, Niko Sadlowski. He and I sit down to have a candid discussion about his experience as a dad learning that his son is severely autistic. He shares how he navigated the initial news to embracing the opportunity to travel the world with his son despite autism. Show highlights: The “A” Word - Autism Started writing his book not to write a book but to wrestle with his journey as a father A child can change every motivation of our heart and help us become a better man and father Crushed by the news of his son being autistic, got drunk, then decided to take action Having someone come up and say “I think your son has autistic” can initially be devastating but can help us take action How does someone talk to us and we not get offended and go in defensive mode The reality of being a dad of a kid with special needs We need to slow down and embrace the moments that we have with our kids and set aside expectations Embrace your child’s disability and still experience life within his capabilities Traveling to Morocco with his son - a UNIQUE experience The perception of other people about your experience Navigating the dynamic of one child with autism and one without Sometimes you just gotta have the extra sweet or stay up late Proud to be the embarrassing dad Guest: Niko Sadlowski Instagram: @theapparently Website: www.theapparently.com Author of “The A Word” Amazon Link https://www.amazon.com/S%C4%B9owo-na-Nikodem-Sad%C4%B9owski-KSI%C3%84%C4%B9%C5%A5KA/dp/8363788120/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=The+a+word+Niko+sadlowski&qid=1614540770&s=books&sr=1-1

Clubhouse is an application that has became extremely popular. This app allows users to connect, communicate, share information and learn utilizing audio such as speaking to a group on a phone chat line.

The unfortunate thing is both of these types of individuals want to feel valued in the workspace.

There are children that are having their viewpoints shaped through their experiences during COVID-19, protests, technology advances and a call for more diversity. We also have our seasoned elders who went through different types of pandemics and had different experiences that shaped how they view the world.
