Description

Hosted by Smith School of Business MBA Candidates Geoff Ng and Ram Saravanabavan, this podcast series showcases the career paths and stories of leaders and other various personalities who come from diverse backgrounds, in a direct interview format.

Topics and experiences surrounding EDII will be discussed in each session, however the intention is to see past the minority labels and focus on their success as an individual; and the title “Future Majority” is based on this very notion.
