Navigating Corporate Ethics: The LGBTQ+ Community's Economic Power and Influence

In this insightful episode of Richie & John, hosts Richie Roy and John McMullen are joined by automobile industry expert Todd Bianco to delve into a discussion that takes a sharp turn towards corporate responsibility and consumer power. As companies like Ford, Toyota, and others re-evaluate their DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives under pressure from figures like the notoriously homophobic and transphobic right wing activist Robby Starbuck, Richie, John, and Todd examine the potential impact on LGBTQ+ consumers and allies. They call for renewed advocacy and accountability, urging the community to wield its economic leverage while providing listeners with a thought-provoking conversation on identity, influence, and the road ahead.
