There are some parts of our identity that are invisible to the eye, but heavily impact how we show up in the world. Religion isn’t a new topic, but it can sometimes be a sensitive one. - but this is why our conversations matter. Mark Fowler, CEO of Tanenbaum, is joining us today with some of the best guidelines on how to embrace religion at work. But that’s not all. In order to understand where we currently are, and where we are going, we have to understand where we’ve been. So if history was one of your favorite subjects in school - this one's for you. And if it wasn’t - this still is for you, because it impacts us all. And as Mark explains further in this episode, “It either has, it is, or it will”.
