Interview with Mike Michalowicz: Exploring Racial Bias in Business

You may know Mike Michalowicz as the author of Fix This Next, Profit First, Clockwork, The Pumpkin Plan (and more).

You may know him from his weekly podcast, formerly called Entrepreneur Elevated…or you may be learning of him now, for the first time.

In any case, Mike and I shared the stage in the fall of 2019 at the Leading Edge Live women’s conference brought to you by Courtney Carol.

That’s when he invited me to be a guest on his podcast to talk about racial bias in the work place.

When we first recorded our conversation, we had no inclination that George Floyd’s tragic murder would happen just 3 weeks later.

That first interview never aired.

Everything was in flux (around the world) and the conversation needed to be different…as the names of Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor were also still on our lips, and as were the names of so many other black Americans.

Last month in July, Mike’s podcast relaunched as – “Mike Up In Your Business”- and a second interview ensued.

Our conversation on racial bias in business was both thought provoking and productive.

I appreciated the real and raw nature of this candid conversation.

With each conversation I learn that the talk about race doesn’t need to be “hard”. When the people involved share common values and a goal of seeking to understand each other (the issues, concerns, challenges, hurt and pain) so that effective change can be implemented- it can be quite informational…and healing.

May this be healing for you, or someone you know as well.

Championing you on the inside and out, with love from The Coach’s Corner!
