The hosts discuss boogeyman words, corporate upheaval and how to respond to it, the "great resignation," what it is and how it currently affects employment, and the HBCU vs. PWI debate. Is one educational choice better than the other? What are the differences between the two collegiate worlds? And is it possible to determine if there's one answer for students of color? This lively discussion covers all the bases, will spark debate between HBCU and PWI alums, and ultimately leave the listener satisfied.
This week on the Bail Yourself Out podcast, host Kandice Whitaker is joined by a fellow content creator, photographer, published writer, and owner of Carmichael Filmworks, Aaron Lloyd, as they examine the factors it takes to manifest your best business self. How to strive when drastic change is on the corporate agenda, and a surefire way to undermine your prospects during the upheaval.
The hosts also reflect on this time of drastic change, spurred by a disillusioned workforce, the pandemic, and the "great resignation" that followed; they discuss the displeasure of Home Depot co-founder and billionaire Bernie Marcus as he takes issue with employees in the current workforce. Their work habits, supposed political mindset, and overall attitude toward employment. Does Marcus have a point? Kandice and Aaron share their thoughts on Bernie Marcus and his beliefs on the workforce. They also discuss whether these ideas offer clarity on the opinions of other corporate employers about their employees.
Finally, the hosts examine the difference between attending a predominately white institution (PWI) and a historically black college or university (HBCU). As they compare and contrast Aarons' Howard University HBCU experience and Kandices' PWI Purchase College experience. They discuss dorm life differences, reinventing yourself, and the difficulties of college life for some. Parents of college prep students preparing to choose an institution will love the gems dropped for consideration in this episode.
