Listen Later

What invisible experiences shape the way we lead, love and show up in the world?

In this episode of Conversations Are Key, host Key Will Voice sits down with R.R. Mebane—former executive at FedEx and the CDC to discuss his remarkable journey from growing up in the Dixie Homes Housing Project in North Memphis to leading inside Fortune 500 companies and the federal government.

Inspired by his memoir, The Ghost at the Table: A Memoir of Surviving Life, the Streets, and Corporate America, Mebane shares powerful lessons on resilience, mentorship, identity, and the invisible barriers that follow us into every room. His story is a reminder that true leadership isn't about titles, it's about lifting others as you climb.


The Ghost at the Table: A Memoir of Surviving Life, the Streets, and Corporate America is published by Kim Jones of WPPublishingllc.Com and is available wherever books are sold.

  • How adversity can become your greatest advantage
  • Why mentorship is a lifelong responsibility
  • The importance of "sending the elevator back down"
  • How to lead with purpose in corporate America and beyond
  • Why every leader has a "ghost at the table"
