Welcome to another transformative episode of the Million Dollar Stories Podcast with your host, Mike Fallat! Today, we’re thrilled to introduce a conversation that is sure to spark innovation and self-reflection. Our guest is the dynamic Jessica Pettitt, author of "Almost Doing Good: Doing the Best That You Can With What You Have Some of the Time." If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the complexities of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), Jessica’s fresh and candid approach will resonate deeply.
This isn’t your typical DEI book or conversation. Jessica breaks down the complexities of workplace inclusivity into a manageable, actionable framework she calls the "Do-Good Triangle": Prepare, Recognize, and Respond. By focusing on doing the best you can, even when perfection feels out of reach, her approach encourages everyone—from leaders to HR professionals—to embrace "almost" as a critical step toward meaningful progress.
In this episode, Jessica and Mike dive into the real-world applications of her philosophy. With humor, candor, and no-nonsense advice, Jessica shares how organizations can embrace disruption and turn ‘almost’ efforts into stepping stones for measurable impact. Together, they discuss over 20 case studies from various industries, highlighting both inspiring successes and teachable failures. You’ll discover how to normalize complexity, engage stakeholders, and implement strategies that reduce risks while building more inclusive workplace cultures.
Whether you're leading a team, driving organizational change, or just seeking to better understand your role in creating a more equitable environment, Jessica’s message is clear: you don’t have to get it perfect—you just have to start. Tune in for a powerful discussion that will inspire you to take action with what you have, where you are. This is your invitation to disrupt the norm and move from "almost doing good" to making a real difference!
