🎙️ New Episode Alert!
In Episode 7 of Success in Business® Podcast, we confront a critical issue impacting economic equity: the recent attacks on affirmative action and their potential consequences for the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program.
Join me, attorney and host Goodwille Pierre, as I unpack a pivotal Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) memo and dissect the legal challenges that threaten to roll back hard-won progress toward equity in contracting.
