Call In Podcast

Call In is a bi-weekly podcast hosted by Good Guys Podcasts’ Chris Riback (former 60 Minutes and ABC News) and DEI strategist Dr. Alexandria White of ReBoot Accel. It tackles DEI issues in the news and breaks down the practical steps that leaders can and should take to manage any organization in today’s world – when to “call in” and when to “call out”. That’s why for business leaders, the question becomes not why it’s necessary, but rather how should “inclusive leadership” be demonstrated? What are the best ways to navigate the social issues that are necessarily a part of today’s business landscape? What tangible steps can business leaders take to integrate DEI principles not as one-off projects, but rather ongoing standard operating procedures? How can leaders demonstrate the key attribute of effective leadership -- empathy -- in today's complicated/heated business climate? It’s called “inclusive leadership” – the ability to bring individuals, teams, and communities together in constructive ways that not only don’t betray the bottom line, but in today’s consumer-aware purchasing environment, builds a company’s financial standings. Each episode starts with a current news item. The hosts unpack the key social issues, potential business impacts, and – importantly – how leaders might navigate these issues within their own organizations and communities. The conversations help determine how these leaders can “call in, not cancel” their stakeholders to create a shared path forward.
