Summary
Michelle P. King is the director of diversity and inclusion at Netflix, and she has just published a book (The Fix, out earlier this month) about overcoming the barriers women face at work. Laura and Sarah are fans -- of both Netflix & overcoming barriers! -- so they were thrilled to host Michelle on the show. Michelle exposes some of the common barriers and shares her strategies for going beyond old methods ("women-fixing") to more innovative and inclusive solutions. All 3 share their current Netflix favorites in the 'love of the week' segment! In the Q&A, a listener asks Laura how she decides which speaking engagement and travel opportunities are worth it.
