Why Society Values Diversity to Win, Not to Share w/ Farad Ali | Ep. 20
Our 20th episode of Ecosysteming is here! Join host Thom Ruhe for a thoughtful conversation with Farad Ali—business leader, executive consultant, community builder, and passionate advocate for equity. Farad has spent his career advancing the economic empowerment of underrepresented communities and currently serves on several influential boards.
In this episode, Thom and Farad explore timely issues around economic development, politics, and the contradictions in how our society approaches diversity—valuing it when it leads to wins, but neglecting it when it comes to sharing.
