We Have Lived.
Everyone Has A Diversity Problem.
In this episode host Hassel Aviles interviews Ren Navarro, of Canadian consulting services called B. Diversity. Ren and Hassel discuss how everyone has a diversity problem, burnout, leadership accountability and much more!
Ren Navarro has over 20 years of corporate customer service and management experience, alongside 12+ years of hands-on knowledge and experience in the beer world. She is certified by some of the world's largest alcohol programs, Prud’homme, WSET, Cicerone and AFicioNAdo (alcohol free certification). She has also appeared on national television talking about historical aspects of alcohol, new trends in alcohol, and the benefits of stronger communities.
In 2018, Ren created Beer. Diversity., a company/advocacy group whose focus was to have open conversations one beer at a time. She has been the go-to diversity, equity and inclusion expert for breweries of all sizes, from small family run to multinational conglomerates. These days the company has moved into non-alcohol spheres as B. Diversity. This amalgamation aims to create safer spaces in which to have open and honest conversations and support to create meaningful change in a multitude of industries.
