What is the tweet version of today’s podcast: 

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion isn’t something you can DIY (Do It Yourself). There are professionals and certified consultants you need to partner/hire but as an individual starter,  you must live it personally. PeriodT.  Simply said,  you can learn how to at work but need to actually live it at home, in your personal life.

How diverse is your personal and professional circle? 


In this episode, we talk about Maya’s and Kelly’s fascinating journeys in the programmatic and AdTech industry and both had so much wisdom to share.
Another important point of discussion was the power of networking.  They both shared some actionable tips on growing and maximizing your network. It is never too soon or too late to start tapping into networking. 

The hardest step is simply the first one, so do it ugly and do it imperfect!
