DEI. It's a hot topic, but it's also a complex one—and it's under disruption like never before. We're seeing a lot of confusion, and frankly, some backsliding when it comes to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The question is, what can HR leaders do about it? What do they tell their teams? That's why the HR Works podcast has rolled out “Deconstructing DEIB,” a series designed to cut through the confusion. In this series, we'll take a deep dive into the often-misunderstood concepts of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB), going beyond the buzzwords, exploring the nuances of each element and examining how they intersect to truly impact the employee experience. In the second episode of our four-part series, we deconstruct equity, which often gets misunderstood. What does it really mean in the workplace? How can HR leaders move beyond good intentions and create a truly level playing field? Jennifer Martinez, Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer and Partner at Hanson Bridgett joins to discuss. Jennifer leads the firm's DEI consulting practice to assist other businesses with DEI initiatives, helping them navigate how to continue to promote and support equality efforts in the current climate.

In this episode of the Me, Myself, and AI podcast, Davis talks about her organization's mission along with the growing role of AI and how it's crucial to ensure that people with intellectual disabilities — a group often overlooked in tech discussions — are included in AI development.

Description: Your WakeUp Call begins when you start to challenge conventional thinking. When you empower yourself to break free from the daily grind. When you choose to design your own lifestyle and economy. In this episode, we sit down with Andrew, the founder of LevelFields AI, to discuss how his company is using advanced data analysis and artificial intelligence to give individual investors access to the same powerful insights that were previously only available to large financial institutions.  Andrew shares how his platform scans thousands of news sources and company filings in real-time to detect market-moving events and predict their impact on stock prices. He explains how this technology can be used for both short-term trading strategies as well as longer-term portfolio management. We explore the implications of democratizing this type of high-powered analytics and how it has the potential to fundamentally change the investment landscape. Key Takeaways: LevelFields AI is using AI and natural language processing to extract insights from massive amounts of unstructured data that would be impossible for humans to process alone. This technology allows individual investors to quickly identify potential catalysts for stock price movements and make more informed trading decisions. By making advanced data analysis accessible for a few hundred dollars per year, LevelFields is "leveling the playing field" between individual investors and large financial institutions. The platform can be used for both short-term trading strategies as well as longer-term portfolio management by providing rapid alerts and predictions about upcoming events. Democratizing access to this type of high-powered analytics has the potential to significantly disrupt traditional investment practices and give more power to individual market participants.   Follow Paul Thompson • LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulthompson-onecallcapital/ • Website | https://pauldavidthompson.com • Tiktok | https://www.tiktok.com/@pauldavidthompson   Resources: https://www.levelfields.ai/ Discount code: podcast23 www.PaulDavidThompson.com - Real estate resources, past episodes, and information on my mastermind   I want to help you achieve financial and personal freedom.

If you're ready to take action now, let's hop on a CALL now!   About Today's Guest: Andrew is the founder of LevelFields AI, a fintech company that is using advanced data analysis and artificial intelligence to democratize Wall Street. With nearly two decades of experience working with large datasets and unstructured data, Andrew recognized an opportunity to give individual investors the same powerful analytical capabilities that were previously only accessible to big hedge funds and asset management firms. Prior to founding LevelFields, Andrew had a diverse career. He started as an epidemiologist studying cancer clusters and toxicity issues around oil rigs, then transitioned into consulting work for government agencies like NASA, the FAA, and the Department of Defense. This led him to start his first software company in 2010, which focused on reputation management for public companies.  After selling that business in 2019, Andrew and his team began developing the technology behind LevelFields, using AI and natural language processing to rapidly identify market-moving events and predict their impact on stock prices. By making this advanced analytics accessible to individual investors, Andrew aims to "level the playing field" and disrupt traditional investment practices.  

In this episode, we're diving deep into the shocking reality of leadership disparity, uncovering how despite making up 51% of the population, women hold a measly fraction of leadership positions across the board. But it's not all doom and gloom—prepare to be inspired by female leaders who've shattered glass ceilings and transformed their organizations through inclusive, empathetic leadership. From actionable steps to redefine pathways to leadership to a powerful call to action for immediate change, this episode is a rallying cry for gender parity in leadership. In this episode,  you'll learn:Why including women in leadership roles isn't just fair—it's a proven strategy for boosting profitability and innovation.Three compelling reasons to prioritize gender diversity in your business strategy for greater economic success and social impact.How businesses with female leaders excel in governance and performance, providing a clear roadmap for your scaling strategy.How we can challenge the status quo and work towards a future where leadership reflects real demographic diversity.This episode at a glance:[02:35] They may be men who are sympathetic or empathetic to helping women grow into leadership, but the bottom line is those decisions are still made by men. [03:45] This country was built on capitalism, on making money. So why would you not move your corporate model to something that has been proven to be more profitable?[05:45] Today's barriers are less about slamming doors in your face, and more about subtly steering you away from them. And this is what keeps us complacent.  [09:35] The ripple effects of female leadership extend far beyond the boardroom or the halls of government. They reach into the heart of society.[12:03] Make it okay for women to say no to pleasing people, over-commitment, and having to be pretty, polished, and perfect all the time.Resources and Links mentioned in this episode:Dawn AndrewsFree Range ThinkingAlyse MaslonikRebekah Johnson Catherine BirndorfYou might also like:Are Women Holding Themselves Back?Leveling The Playing Field for Female FoundersIt's Time to Start Your Own BusinessMore about the “My Good Woman” podcastMy Good Woman is a podcast for bold female leaders hosted by me, Dawn Andrews!

Cynthia Richie Terrell is the founder and executive director of RepresentWomen. We discuss institutional reforms that can reduce the barriers for women to run, win, and govern.   There are approximately 520,000 elected office holders in the U.S., but incumbency is the biggest barrier to electing more women. Term limits make more seats open to competition. In addition, ranked choice voting eliminates vote splitting if there is more than one woman on the ballot. In NYC, for example, the combination of term limits and ranked choice voting has resulted in a city council where 61% of the seats are held by women. Policy solutions that address the structural barriers do work.
