#ItsEconomic: The Economics of DEI
<p>“When there’s a feeling, there’s a bottom line.”</p><p>While it’s easy to blame DEI budget cuts on politics, Ayeh argues they’re more a casualty of economic whiplash.</p><p>Between 2020 and 2025, wild swings—from pandemic stimulus to inflation to investor pressure—reshaped what companies can fund and what they expect in return. Many DEI programs weren’t built to weather that volatility.</p><p>But those same shifts have opened up new opportunities for diversity strategies that align with today’s tighter budgets, workforce changes, and bottom-line pressures.</p><p>🎙️ In this #ItsEconomic edition of Volala: Volatility is the Life of Our Party, Ayeh and Jenni get candid about their own journeys navigating DEI in corporate and policy spaces. We also share our 7-question framework for building affordable, high-impact diversity strategies—ones that go beyond performative moves and actually boost resilience, revenue, and reach.</p><p>📊 Consider this: companies with diverse leadership are 36% more likely to outperform financially. Cities like San Antonio and Wilson, NC, have grown tax bases and attracted investment by embedding equity into infrastructure and broadband.</p><p><br>DEI isn’t dead. It’s just evolving. Let’s discuss. Drop us a line at <a href="mailto:hello@volascope.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">hello@volascope.com</a>, and we’ll cover it in our next listener episode.</p><p><br></p><p>#economy #dei #macroeconomy #diversityequityinclusion #policy #government</p>

Pressure Points: Tariffs, Treasuries, and Tacos
<p>In this listener-fueled episode, Jenni and Ayeh skip the script and dive into the economic questions buzzing in inboxes, group chats, and grocery store checkout lines alike. If it feels like policy is being made on the fly, that's because... it kind of is.</p><p>From tariff whiplash to unexpected stock market rebounds, we unpack the pressure points shaping today’s economic reality—and what might come next.</p><p>You’ll hear:</p><ul><li><p>Why the US Treasury market proved it was the big boss in policymaking this week</p></li><li><p>What signals to watch for and when it's likely to call the shots again</p></li><li><p>What shifting global trust in the U.S. dollar actually means (yes, even for your mortgage)</p></li><li><p>Why companies are pulling back on R&D, and what that signals for jobs and innovation</p></li><li><p>How long it really takes to build new manufacturing facilities—and why that matters for the future of “Made in America”</p></li><li><p>Whether it’s time to rethink retirement (or just redefine it)</p></li><li><p>And why taco trucks are just one of our favorite economic indicators. (Listen for more of ours and tell us where you see telltales coming up in your life!)<br></p></li></ul><p>We also talk Target foot traffic, Costco hoarding, and the quiet pullback happening in cities and states across the country.</p><p>We’re focusing our wide-angle lens on where the economy’s heading, and how you can keep your footing.</p><p><br></p>
