Five Years In: How Inclusion Really Happens

What does five years of building an inclusion-focused business teach you about how change really happens?

In the Season Three premiere of Unapologetic, Erin turns the microphone on herself to reflect on five years of Erin Davis Co.—the conversations, relationships, and hard-earned lessons that have shaped both the business and this podcast.

She explores why relationships must come before recommendations, why good intentions do not automatically create inclusive experiences, and why the real test of inclusion is what happens in everyday decisions, systems, and interactions.

This episode is both a celebration and an honest reflection on what the work has required: trusting her experience without needing to have every answer, building a sustainable business without losing sight of its purpose, and becoming more comfortable with the unfinished nature of meaningful change.

As a new season begins, Erin looks ahead to the conversations still to come—and answers the question she usually asks her guests: What are you becoming more unapologetic about?
