Episode notes

Jessica Ayden Li, Founder & CEO of Justice and Logic, a DEI & Non-profit Coach & Consultant (and Jerry's HS classmate!), joins us on Episode 081 to share her story of finding her purpose in helping organizations build leaders and to build anti-racist communities.

We celebrate her finding her in mission in working with non-profits to help them build better leaders to help achieve their missions in a responsible way.
