In the Inaugural Episode of the Basic Block Hiring Podcast, host Gena Sikorsky Mitchell, welcomes listeners to the business conversation of hiring individuals with developmental disabilities (IDD). She touches on the fundamental thoughts and ideas such as the economic impact of not hiring IDD, special education as a business plan, paralyzed by individualized, the glass ceiling of awareness & advocacy, dismantling the personalization of IDD, and dismantling the victimization of IDD among others, that set the stage for what listeners can expect to dig into with future guests and episodes.
