89: How to Overcome Stereotype Thinking that Hinders Innovation & Creativity

In this episode of The Innovation Storytellers Show, we're talking about a topic often overlooked in large companies: stereotypes and how they play a major role in how we interact with one another in the workplace and outside of it. 

My guests, Gian Franco and Liz Kim, are the co-founders of The Stereotype Project Foundation. Gian Franco is a Trinidad and Tobago native with a background in media, entertainment, and technology. Liz Kim is a second-generation Korean American with a diverse background in fashion, music, advertising, and real estate. 

I learn how together, they are working to deconstruct the way we learn about people and cultures, highlighting the gaps and limited and biased representations of social groups in the media. Join us as we dive deep into their mission and how innovators can benefit from understanding stereotypes.
