Today on the show Jayson is talking with Cheryl Contee, CIO of The Impact Seat, Chair / Founder of Do Big Things, and the Author of Mechanical Bull. Cheryl talks about how devastating it can be to be judged by your appearance in a professional, venture investment setting, how she has dealt with rejection because she’s a minority and what we can do to solve that problem going forward.
There’s a big problem today with minorities not getting the same opportunities as everyone else, and we all need to work together to help move past the situation.
