Jesse Rector - Racing in the Street

This week's guest is the unofficial moral compass of eastern seaboard, at least in mind. Jesse Rector is a fighter.  He breaks down systemic barriers. He stands for what is right and is unapologetic about being a loud voice for equity.    Jesse is Jersey born and raised, where it's hard not to be influenced by The Boss himself. At an early age, punk rock "wrapped its arms around him" and he never looked back. I've been looking forward to this conversation for years. Enjoy!

Jesse Ross - Making Purpose Popular

This week's guest is truly a change-maker in the world of diversity, equity and inclusion. Jesse Ross, a DEI consultant and community activist,  is constantly on the move in order to build the collective standing of community. In the wake of George Floyd's murder, Jesse started a bi-weekly virtual space for white men and women, to discuss their role in systemic racism and to determine a path forward. Our conversation covers the spectrum from the value of self-care to the demands of others and how he keeps integrity at the center of it all. We talk faith, family, movies and optimism.
