In this journey, Randy Wilson will speak with many unique individuals to dig into the provocative and powerful ideas of our time. Through leadership, we believe that we can lead people up, in, and over, just as easily as we can lead people down, out, and under.
It is the goal of this podcast to provide an example in leading people through dialogue about "real life" things. The goal in creating this podcast is to learn the perspectives of others while working to improve inclusiveness amongst all cultures and people in our society. This "Culture & Society" podcast particularly likes to highlight change makers in the community who are doing amazing work in their respective industries. All of the guests have unique ways of navigating to create solutions for the social problems that plague our society through arts, advocacy, and activism.
