In this episode, Jeremy sits down with Jonathan Stutz, co-author of the powerful book Daily Practices of Inclusive Leaders, to explore what it really means to lead with inclusion in mind—every single day. As a former executive at Microsoft, Amazon, and Zulily, Jonathan blends deep corporate experience with a people-first lens to rethink how workplaces should function in an age of upheaval.

Together, they dig into:

• Why inclusion is no longer an HR side quest but core to effective leadership
• The case for small, intentional “inclusive pebbles” that ripple into systemic change
• What leaders get wrong about DEI—and how to fix it without corporate jargon or empty gestures
• Why inclusive leadership is increasingly being rebranded as just... good leadership
• How to build cultures where people feel seen, heard, and equipped to succeed

Whether you're a people manager, an exec navigating culture shifts, or just someone who wants to show up better at work, Jonathan offers grounded advice and personal stories that will inspire and challenge you.
