E39 Derric Haynie: Recognize And Overcome Your Bias

The weekend might be over, but a whole new week of SnackWalls episodes is just getting started. Happy Monday everyone!

In this episode we speak with Derric Haynie and his experiences working in E-commerce. He noticed that many industry leaders have not acknowledged inherent biases and pushed for a cultural change within their organizations. Businesses need to focus on finding candidates with the right skills and not someone who has hit a set of random milestones. In the near future people will be learning through sources of free information (internet) and apprenticeship programs to gain job skills. Business leaders must make diversity and inclusion a part of the company culture to retain employees. Additionally, they should make an effort to represent their company with a diverse pool of employees instead of having one spokesperson. 

Derric Haynie is a father, futurist, and entrepreneur. He is passionate about marketing, growth, virality, and E-commerce. As the CEO and Chief E-commerce Technologist at E-commerce Tech, Derric helps merchants find the right tools to grow their stores. He holds a B.S. in Business Management Economics from UC Santa Cruz and was formerly a high stakes poker player.
