About this episode

Men still dominate the ranks of corporate leadership, which means they have an integral role to play in making workplaces more equitable for everyone.

Lindsay talks to Dr. Bill Kapfer, who leads JPMorgan Chase's Men as Allies program, about the business benefits of allyship and how men can be active participants in achieving gender equity at work.
