The Lead with a Question podcast offers a space for leaders to become more creative, and creatives to become better leaders. We live in a time when people are seeing that the old way of doing business is broken, and that leading into the future requires new skills. A deeper focus on humanity. The courage to let go of power and ego. A desire to nurture the conditions for co-creation. On this show, hosts Rob Callan, Chris Deaver, and Ian Clawson connect with guests who embody these principles, and whether household names or not, have shattered the status quo, often as misfits, to shape the future with others and achieve miraculous things in work and life. These discussions will inspire and invite each of us to become brave at our core.

Most of the time, there’s an unspoken assumption that people on the team will share a set of attributes and values. Over time, this can lead to a homogenizing effect–also known as groupthink. Deviations become less frequent, because they disrupt the balance. But in our ever-changing world, is that really what we want? Our guest today has spent years building cultures, teams, and platforms with a singular focus: giving new ideas the oxygen they need. He’ll help us reflect on the question:
