Nadia and Rob are joined by the dynamic executive recruiting duo of Christiaan Heijmen and Farad Ali to talk about inclusive network building, how real leaders are doubling down on inclusion, and why you shouldn't use the word "fit" in recruiting. They also applaud JP Morgan's Jamie Dimon's red-blooded, capitalist backing of DEI, and are taken back by Wayfair's recent layoffs. Later, Nadia rapid-fire rants about Texas, Kyte Baby, and Barbie while Rob looks on and stays out of her way.
