Mickey Unionizes and Wisconsin Constitutionalizes

The “Inclusive Collective” podcast, co-hosted by Nadia Butt and Rob Hadley, illuminates the complexities around diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the business world. Each week, Butt and Hadley welcome a different guest to the show to explore and celebrate the guest’s industry of expertise, sharing perspectives from those who advocate for change. Invited guests include leaders, teams and experts in various industries who share the ways they strive to implement inclusive workplaces, whether within the business world or everyday interpersonal interactions.

In this week’s episode, Butt and Hadley are joined by Dr. Fadia Nordtveit to talk about the link between sustainability and DEIB and how to align DEIB across functions while developing a business model, as well as why Nordtveit leans on data to drive change. 

Later, Butt and Hadley discuss Disney characters' efforts to unionize (and Hadley gives a review of Goofy's Kitchen at Disneyland) and Wisconsin Republicans constitutional amendment limiting DEI in government. Butt rants about the Valentine's Day ride-share strike and Hadley raves about Princeton's president's defense of diversity on campus.
