Description

Zach Nunn, founder of Living Corporate, pulls back the curtain on what it takes to create authentic content about race and identity in the workplace. From deleting episodes with problematic guests to calling out patronizing DEI storytelling, Zach shares why most corporate diversity content misses the mark and how to create conversations that actually matter.




What You'll Learn:



  • Why Zach sometimes doesn't release podcast episodes (including one with a tech executive)

  • The problem with DEI storytelling that treats employees like "rescued" success stories

  • How to spot performative vs. productive conversations about workplace equity

  • Why individual anecdotes often miss systemic issues in DEI discussions

  • The responsibility content creators have when platforming voices

  • How journalism's decline affects podcast integrity

  • Real examples of authentic workplace storytelling that drives change
