On this episode, I’m honored to have Bethaney Wilkinson back on the show, this time to talk about her new, incredible book, The Diversity Gap. I read this book in less than 3 days and absolutely loved it. We talk about many of the concepts in the book, including the importance of knowing, and sharing, your origin story, the goal of working toward liberation, and what it means to explore reparations within a company.

On this episode, I talk with Kyle Porter, CEO and co-founder of Salesloft, one of Atlanta’s most recent unicorns (meaning they are valued at a billion dollars or more). This episode is full of incredible stories and advice from Kyle, including how he works to grow as a leader, some of the secrets to Salesloft’s success, his best advice for leaders (including the importance of building trust), and something called the ‘Clearing Model’ which I simply cannot wait to implement at my companies.

Keith Millner, co-founder and managing partner of Coaching Catalyst, joins me on this episode. Keith is an entrepreneur, servant leader, and self-described, “hustler”, and you’ll get a sense of all of those designations from our conversation. We talk about his journey, what led him to be an executive coach and change agent for so many, his successful hike to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, his leadership of 100 Black Men of Atlanta, and much more.

On this episode, I talk with Nathaniel Smith, Founder and Chief Equity Officer/CEO Partnership for Southern Equity. We talk about his journey, the difference between actual social justice and what he calls, “fakequity”, the Values Revolution that we need to happen to create real change in our society, and so much more.

(Nathaniel also gave the keynote address at the 2021 48in48 Social Justice event!)

On this episode, I talk with Ryan Gravel, enterpreneur, author, urban designer, and most certainly, the person that came up with the once-in-a-generation idea of The Atlanta BeltLine. We talk about, of course, the story of the BeltLine, but we also get into some really great concepts, including what he loves about Atlanta (and where we struggle as a city), things he learned about his family’s history during the racial unrest of 2020, his upcoming new book, and of all things, Dungeons & Dragons.

On this episode, I spend time talking with my new friend, and fellow supporter of The A Pledge, Sequoyah “DataBae” Glenn. She’s one of the most talented data and analytics experts I’ve ever met, and also has one of the biggest hearts. We talk about how she became a “media culture disruptor”, her purpose to change the world through the eyes of marketing and media, and what it takes to be a good ally.

Connect with Sequoyah and her work!

On this episode, I talk with Nathan Stuck, who some consider to be "Mr. B Corp Georgia". We talk about, what else, B corporations, and we also dig into conscious capitalism, how ROI fits into the decision, and what it takes for a company truly to be a force for good in this world.

On this episode, my guest is Nina Smith, a self proclaimed “communications mercenary”. She’s the former traveling press secretary and advisor to Pete Buttigieg, and she spends most of her time helping candidates, brands, and organizations tell their story in the media. We talk about her journey, of course the work she did with Pete (I’m a HUGE fan), some of the work she did with Stacey Abrams (someone else I love), and her board involvement with an incredible organization called Community Groundwork.

On this episode, I brought David Cummings (Atlanta Tech Village, Pardot, Atlanta Ventures) back on to talk about the characteristics that the most successful entrepreneurs and leaders have. We’ve both built businesses and invested in others, and I thought it would be a fun conversation to discuss the qualities that are somewhat non-negotiable in those that succeed.
