Together, they delve into the divisive impact of figures like Robby Starbuck in corporate America concerning DEI and LGBTQ initiatives. Tim shares insights from his extensive experience working with major corporations on LGBTQ marketing strategies, highlighting the gap between corporate lip service and true inclusivity.
