Change is not born from silence. The business world is not immune to the racism, misogyny, fear of imperfection, impostor syndrome, conformity, and withholding of access, information and resources, as seen in so many other aspects of life.

Blindfolds and earmuffs of society, meet JinJa Birkenbeuel, the fearless host of The Honest Field Guide™ podcast.
