Ever heard an all-male team say they've got 'diversity of thought'? They might think they're being inclusive, but they're missing the bigger picture. Real diversity isn't just about having different opinions—it's about bringing in people with different life experiences, backgrounds, and identities.

In this episode, we bust the myth that 'diversity of thought' is enough. We'll explore why true diversity—gender, cultural, and racial—is essential for innovation and better decision-making. We'll share eye-opening facts, like how companies with diverse teams are 25% more likely to be profitable and why having diverse voices leads to smarter, more creative, and even faster decisions.

We'll also dive into real-life examples that show why representation matters, from crash test dummies to medical research and how companies have missed the mark by overlooking diversity.
