Ep. 4: Jennifer Sey - Dare to Sey!
My guest today is Jennifer Sey, an American author, filmmaker, business executive and a retired artistic gymnast, who was the 1986 USA National Champion. Jennifer began working at Levi’s in 1999, rising to Chief Marketing Officer and then Global Brand President.
She was fired from Levi's last year after speaking out against the lockdowns and specifically the harms caused to children in San Francisco; Public schools were closed for 19 months during Covid in San Francisco for 50,000+ children: the longest closure in the world, while (privileged) private schools opened up in 2020. Most of the affected children are underprivileged, and for them Jennifer fought while exposing the hypocrisy of the "Liberal Democrats" who pretend to advocate for equality & equity, and exposing the woke culture, both of Levis and the public. Jennifer refused an exit grant of 1 million dollars (!!!) in exchange for her silence, because her story and her mission are more important than money. Her recent book, “Levi’s Unbuttoned,” tells the inspirational story of her corporate career, search for authenticity, and ultimate refusal to bow to the woke mob.
We talked about:
- Career path at Levis, their response to Jennifer’s views
- Levis’ $1m offer to self-censor
- California’s Covid restrictions, public schools closures
- Democrats hypocrisy in the US
- Free speech, media manipulation
- Labeling & damaging one’s reputation
- “Viewpoint discrimination”
- Twitter’s new CEO
- “Woke washing”: Diversity & Inclusion, ESG
- Predictions for the US Corporate America workforce
- Bud Light & Target failed marketing campaigns
