Logistics with Purpose® Classic: A Renewed American Dream- Closing the Racial Wealth Gap feat. Ying McGuire, NMSDC

What would it look like to come to this country with one suitcase in hand to achieve the American dream? It might include the opportunity to serve as a corporate leader at Dell, to be sworn in at the White House to serve on the United States Investment Advisory Council, and to receive numerous accolades, including “Twenty-Five Influential Women in Business” by MEA Magazine; “America’s Top Diversity Advocate” by DiversityBusiness.com; and “Best of the Decade” by Minority Business USA.

What if you realized your American dream and then realized millions of others had not? Would you be satisfied or get back to work?

In this classic episode of Logistics with Purpose®, Enrique Alvarez and Maureen Woolshlager are joined by Ying McGuire, CEO & President of the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC), to talk about how her achievement of the American dream is now driving her to help systematically excluded communities of color do the same.

 

This episode is hosted by Enrique Alvarez and Maureen Woolshlager, and produced by Trisha Cordes, Joshua Miranda, and Amanda Luton.
