In this raw, unscripted drive-home monologue, Anthony Vaughan pulls no punches. He dives headfirst into the recent noise around DEI layoffs, SHRM headlines, and the hollow punditry flooding the space—then flips the script. This episode makes one thing brutally clear: DEI was never meant to be a siloed initiative. It's not a program. It’s not a campaign. It’s a capability—one that should be embedded across every revenue-driving, decision-making, culture-defining system in your org.
From Fortune 50 boardrooms to the language in your job descriptions, Anthony makes the business case for integrating DEI the same way we talk about learning, change management, and leadership development. He calls out the structural mistake organizations made over the last 20 years—and what needs to shift if we want lasting impact.
If you’re a leader asking, “What now?” this is your wake-up call. This is not about optics. It’s about operational power.
Listen. Reflect. And rebuild with intention.
