    Scared to speak up about DEI or sustainability in the current environment? Don’t be: fortune favours the bold

    I’ve fumbled two big opportunities to get rich quick. The first was when I wrote a feature for the Guardian about Bitcoin when it cost a mere $32 and I DIDN’T BUY ANY. The second was in 2016 when I launched a satirical website called Rent-a-Minority. My “Uber for diversity” let companies hire a minority on-demand when they needed to look inclusive. It was a commentary on superficial corporate DEI efforts. Reader, I got genuine enquiries from big businesses about my service. I could have made tons of money if I’d turned my joke service into a real one.
