Shownotes

This week, we're bringing you inside REG Connect 2025 - a game-changing event that shook up the Manchester business scene in all the right ways. 

I’m joined by Ngozi Weller and Wayne Bennett, the powerhouses behind it, to talk about how they pulled it off, why it matters, and what needs to happen next if we’re serious about racial equity in business. 

It’s honest, energetic and full of the kind of chat that gets people thinking (and doing).

Highlights:

(19:15) From 50 to 200 – they showed up

(32:58) Ngozi confronts award show’s lack of diversity

(01:03:00) We don’t have a pipeline problem

(01:10:30) Don’t DIY racial equity - here’s where to start
