What if the very things that make us feel "different" are the keys to unlocking our greatest potential? In this powerful episode, Cody sits down with Tracy King (they/them ), the CEO of InspirEd and a leading voice in neuroinclusion. As a late-diagnosed autistic entrepreneur and parent to four neurodivergent kids, Tracy offers a deeply personal and professional perspective on the future of work.

Together, they deconstruct the myth of "normalcy" and explore why the systems we've built often fail our brightest minds. Tracy shares their journey of leaving the corporate world to build a business that aligns with their neurotype, the hard-won lessons from navigating autistic burnout, and why they believe neurodivergent individuals are uniquely equipped to lead in the age of AI.

This conversation is a masterclass in turning perceived weaknesses into strategic advantages and a hopeful look at a future where work is designed for everyone.
