A Signal Fire

This is a signal fire.

It’s an invitation to every workplace, every boss, every leader, every team member, collaborator and contributor, and every worker in every nook and cranny of every industry and community in every nation.

Today my team at Marmoset published our second annual Transparency Report. The objective is two-fold: First to take a hard look in the mirror to identify ways for us to improve our own organization. And second, to serve as a signal fire to the community, so people of any and every workplace, industry and community might get curious, wrestle with hard questions, and engage in a broader dialogue to lift up our communities.

It’s no secret the industries and workplaces we intersect with and work within have been unfairly leveraged and controlled by homogenous insiders and gatekeepers for far too long. Finally, the tide is turning. Transparency is the most powerful tool we have to help level the playing field.

By the time you finish reading our new 2021 report you will know what we believe in, what we’re willing to fight for, and how our values take tangible shape in the work we do and in the community we serve. You’ll also see our shortcomings and areas needing the most work. It’s all there, warts and all. And I welcome any questions, criticisms, conversations or ideas you may have to offer.
