    <title>Groundbreakers</title>
    <description>We’re on a mission to explore transformations in where, how, and why we work, and the intersection of DEIB within our workplaces.
 
Groundbreakers was inspired by the physical breaking of ground and creation of space, but most importantly by the people that hold that space, inspire change, push the boundaries and blaze new paths forward. We want to know how these trailblazers are approaching DEIB, and challenge the way listeners think about it - providing insight and inspiration they can apply in their own organizations, or anywhere in their lives. 

Hosted by country music star and Unispace&apos;s Chief Diversity Officer, Chely Wright, each episode features conversations with fascinating people - corporate leaders, advocates, and performers - all of them groundbreakers in their industries. We won’t have all the answers, but we’re starting the conversation.</description>
