How often do you have conversations with and show genuine interest in people who don't look like you, share your point of view, or have different backgrounds?!
In this episode of GTP, Dan decided to change things up a little and bring a different angle on how Canadian agriculture is perceived from an outsider’s perspective… and by an outsider, we’re not talking about someone who’s NOT from Saskatchewan. Jasmine Laverne is a young woman of color from L.A., an entrepreneur, bossbabe, and advocate for social issues.
… BUT what does Dan, a middle-aged white man from Saskatchewan, have in common with Jasmine, a young advocate for diversity, inclusion, and equity in the U.S.?!
More than you think! Listen to the episode, and you will find out.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Concepts like diversity, inclusion, and equity in the context of social issues.
- About the Crown Act initiative and Food Deserts… two foreign concepts for the majority of us.
- How Canadian agriculture farming is perceived from a consumer’s perspective.
- The importance of having conversations and being authentic with people who may not have the same background can broaden your perception and help you become a more sympathetic human.
