Today we are diving into the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion conversation that resides at the forefront of every construction leader's mind. In this episode we are afforded the incredible opportunity to have Darnell Dinkins (Super Bowl Champion, 9 Year NFL Veteran, Speaker and Consultant) join us to help tackle this sensitive topic and help our listeners with both a roadmap for success while also detailing pitfalls to watch out for.

Darnell joins NEXT Academy Co-Creators Chad Jones and Cody Phillips as they discuss “D. E. & I.” and pull out leadership lessons that they feel can help contractors create a competitive advantage by utilizing Darnell’s vision for what a successful Diversity, Equity and Inclusion program looks and feels like. They talk #Diversity, #Equity, #Inclusion and obviously #FOOTBALL🏈
