    This episode is a mirror of the previous one in that it looks at the impacts of location on a professional journey but from a different vantage point. Aidan Sykes of Sony Music, was raised in a middle-class community in Mississauga, Ontario. Listen in to hear how Aidan’s experiences with racism in his own neighbourhood coupled with being perceived as 'not hood enough' from some Black people affected his early journey. Incidentally, Aidan was mentored by Kevin Johnson of Episode 3. And you get to hear the story of how Aidan and host Naki O. met on a Toronto subway.

    In this episode, we talk to Kevin Johnson, CEO of Mediacom who talks about how he hid the fact that he was from a low-income community as a protective strategy in the early days of his career in the advertising industry. It's been said that when a person is 'closeting' an aspect of themselves, there is always a portion of their mental energy dedicated to protecting that secret. This can have implications on their performance and thus their career in the long-term. Listen to Kevin's story as he candidly shares inflection points that helped along his journey to the C-suite.
