Summary

"Real Good" examines current and historical barriers to equal opportunity in finance and highlights people in the non-profit and for-profit worlds working to remove those barriers. In candid, 60-minute conversations, host Faith Salie and U.S. Bank Chief Diversity Officer Greg Cunningham invite guests to share their work and challenge listeners to think differently about the steps needed to create opportunity for all. Today, we share an episode of the Real Good podcast with acclaimed filmmaker Rudy Valdez about the importance of diverse subjects and storytellers in film, discusses behind-the-scenes anecdotes from Rudy’s recent project 'Translators', and how language can improve access and break down barriers.
