  • Great series for leaders

    It’s so refreshing to see a podcast that highlights BIPOC leaders and shares how they accomplished great things. I learn from everyone’s story and superpowers. Matt is an excellent host and every time I listen to an episode I can’t wait to listen to the next!

  • Very Insightful

    I just listened to the “Unmattering of Black Lives” episode. (The poetic phrasing caught my eye.) In this episode, Matt takes it all on: the protests, the pandemic, the pain. At one point he says how Black History Month *is* American History, which for me speaks to the heart of it. The on-going conflict of separate-ness and unity this country can’t seem to work out. This is an important podcast, especially in this moment.
