Take Action Now! Let’s Grow the Opportunity Economy
Thank you for tuning in to the latest episode of InflexionPoint Podcast where we are dedicated to the art of listening in authentic conversation.
We challenge our audience to listen actively and intentionally for the purpose of critical self-reflection, in-depth perspective-taking, personal transformation, and ultimately social impact. The 2024 theme explores the Art of Community Conversations in today’s climate of systemic and institutional racism, antiracism activation, Equity Diversity & Inclusion, and book banning.
In Episode 70 we continue our discussion of the precipice of change in which we currently find ourselves. We explore the “opportunity economy” where everyone has a chance to compete and a chance to succeed.
