Diversity Bites

Thanks for your interest in being our guest on Diversity Bites.

This page covers the basics to help you prepare.

I’m happy to set up a brief call to discuss further or just get acquainted before we record your episode.

Created, produced, and hosted by the Connection Counselor, Joe Kwon, “Diversity Bites" explores strategies and insights to transcend statistics, increase belonging, and unlock higher performance.

Designed for those who are fed up with ineffective DEI initiatives that feel good in the moment, but don’t deliver lasting change — it is the only daily podcast focused on Diversity.

The Truth Hurts (Guest episode)

The Truth Hurts is a special, bonus episode of “Diversity Bites,” where the Connection Counselor invites guests to share their experiences and to explore what they have learned about what really works and what doesn’t.

Your episode will be available on Apple podcasts and most other major podcast platforms.

See the show website, trailer, previews and full episodes here.

🎥 Excited to share we are now releasing both video and audio versions of the show.

🚫 If you would like to only share the audio version, that works just fine - just let me know in advance.

You can watch video versions on Spotify.

Behind the scenes

To help you prepare, the basic skeleton of the show is shared below.

The style of the show is conversational (closer to a conversation than an interview) so although some form of the questions below are worked into every show, we may explore several additional areas.

Think the opposite of a Q&A or a panel discussion.

Listening to a previous episode provides the best explanation.
