Show Me The Data with Mitchell Lunn
Welcome to this episode of Forged in Fire! We’re returning after a short break, and this time, the hosts dive right into one of their favorite topics: data—how it’s collected, why it matters, and the ways it informs LGBTQ leadership development. You’ll hear a lively discussion on the nuances of “data” (is it singular or plural?) and the importance of deeper, qualitative insights. Later, the conversation shifts to the military’s challenges in gathering queer-specific data, and ultimately leads into an introduction of this episode’s special guest, Dr. Mitchell Lunn, who offers groundbreaking perspectives on LGBTQ health research.
