• Jim Rohn's insight on how talking about goals prematurely gives you the psychological reward before doing the work
• How announcing goals to others can reduce your motivation to actually complete them
• Personal example of starting the podcast but facing technical challenges with camera equipment
• The importance of persistence in finding simple solutions to seemingly complex problems
• Consistency as the key factor in moving past obstacles and completing what you start

Prince Tate teams up with the brilliant Dr. Mary M.J. McConner to break down the big buzzword in today’s workplace—DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion).

They’re keeping it real as they unpack what DEI actually means, tackle common myths, and dive into how political noise is shaking up the way we talk about inclusion at work. From explaining how DEI differs from affirmative action to highlighting why everyone benefits from these efforts, this conversation is one you don’t want to miss.

Dr. McConner brings the heat with fresh insights, emphasizing community, the role of the EEOC, and how organizations can truly support their people—not just check boxes. It’s informative, honest, and packed with the kind of clarity that makes this podcast your go-to for real HR talk.

Key Takeaways:
🔍 DEI is under the microscope in today’s political world.
🌍 Diversity includes way more than just race and gender.
⚖️ Equity is about leveling the playing field—not giving handouts.
🤝 Inclusion = belonging for everyone.
❌ DEI ≠ hiring unqualified people.
✅ When done right, DEI helps all employees thrive.
🎭 Some companies are rebranding DEI to dodge backlash.
🧠 Staying informed and building community helps you navigate the noise.
🛡️ The EEOC is still here to protect employee rights.
💛 A people-first mindset is the real key to a healthy workplace culture.
