In her book, Lori asks the question: "How can we get past the gender wars and 'menemies' mindset, and build a world that works better for all of us?" Gender equality benefits everyone - men and women - but the current situation is harming us all. In this podcast, Lori and I tried to have an open conversation, guided by the research Lori has conducted. We felt it was important to be honest and open, so please feel free to share your thoughts, disagree with anything, or add your perspective - but please do so respectfully and thoughtfully. Without open conversations, progress will remain out of reach. Big love! 🧡 #equality #LoriMeakin #TheSixSellsPodcast #NoMoreMenemies #media #advertising #marketing #womenempowerment #women #jordanpeterson #andrewtate
