Back to EpisodesLevi's Former President Jen Sey: Exposing the Truth About "Woke Capitalism" | Sage Steele Show
Description
I remember the day I discovered Jen Sey. We had such similar trajectories in our careers and our "cancellations," and sitting down with her in person was a powerful reminder that the truth always wins. Most of you know her as the former Brand President of Levi's who stood up for children's rights during the pandemic, but today, we're going way beyond the headlines.
