Tune in to hear host Laura Mignott (CEO, experience communications agency DFlash) in conversation with Avis Yates Rivers, a real life ‘Hidden Figure’ and 30+ year entrepreneur. Starting out as a saleswoman for Exxon in the 80s – selling the first information processors and fax machines - Avis evolved into an entrepreneur over the next 32 years and never looked back. Her key advice: take the time to debate and decide whether to be an entrepreneur. They also cover her amazing initiative #SitWithMe and how to encourage careers in technology for women and people of color. Buy Avis’s book: Necessary Inclusion: Embracing the Changing Faces of Technology https://www.amazon.com/Necessary-Inclusion-Embracing-Changing-Technology/dp/1595985174/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491761185&sr=8-1&keywords=necessary+inclusionAnd follow her on Twitter: @SitWithAvisCredits:Creator and host: Laura MignottProducer: Sandy Smallens for Audiation.fmMixer: Matt Noble at The Loft in Bronxville, NYAdditional production: Bang Studios in New York CityOriginal Theme Music: Probe Rok --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-reset-podcast/support
