On this episode, Travis talks with a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) specialist, Dr. Mark McBride-Wright. Mark is the founder of EqualEngineers, an organization dedicated to connecting diverse talent with inclusive employers. He is also the cofounder of InterEngineering, a professional network that connects and empowers LGBTQ+ engineers. Topics discussed include: The ups and downs of growing up during a cultural sea change around LGBTQ rights, the pendulum swings of culture and politics, his experiences as a gay dad, the bias in parenting education and support towards mothers, the role of engineering in creating inclusive spaces, his insights around DEI, and the importance of seeking perspectives other than our own.
