Nadia and Rob welcome Payam Abbassian of REI Co-op's Path Ahead Ventures to discuss the iconic outdoor retailer's efforts to invest in 300 founders of color, how they are uniquely positioned to support those founders, and shares learnings from the fund's journey so far. Also, Rob laments the fact that there has to be an actual person behind the Dilbert comic strip and questions why Tesla and JP Morgan get a pass for their associations with Elon Musk, and Nadia highlights some troubling data around DE&I leader layoffs.
