Text Me, I'd LOVE to hear from YOU!

Creating an inclusive brand isn’t just the “right” thing to do—it’s a smart business move.

In this episode, I’m joined by Cass Cooper, a professional chaos whisperer and inclusive leadership expert, to explore how inclusivity directly impacts trust and sales. We unpack what it really means to be inclusive beyond the surface-level buzzwords, and how you can show up more intentionally in your brand.

Whether you’re building your biz on the side or full-time, this convo will challenge you to rethink how you lead, show up, and serve.

🔑 Topics We Cover:

  • What makes a brand truly inclusive
  • The emotional + financial ROI of authenticity
  • How Cass side hustles while raising a child and impacting the tech space
  • How to start making real changes (not just performative ones)
