RSQY (pronounced: risky) is about rebranding the status quo and why. In this episode, we start a risky conversation on how Thanksgiving has been rebranded over the years. Delve into the darker side of the holiday's origins, the implications it has had on Native people and the land that we live on. Can we rebrand the status quo to recognize our history while still being thankful for those in our personal lives (friends and family) and in our business (employees, coworkers, customers, etc.)?
