  • Neurodivergent Leadership, ADHD, and AI: Designing Systems That Actually Work

    Neurodivergent Leadership, ADHD, and AI: Designing Systems That Actually Work
    2026/01/30
    Why do so many capable leaders feel exhausted, unfocused, or misaligned, despite doing everything right? In this episode, David Carr sits down with Sara Gayle, founder of EverKind Strategies, to explore how neurodivergence, burnout, and broken systems quietly undermine leadership effectiveness and what it actually takes to design environments where people can thrive. Drawing from Sara’s journey as a late diagnosed ADHD leader and her work with mission driven organizations, this conversation examines how clarity, kindness, and relational intelligence shape sustainable growth. Rather than treating focus and productivity as personal discipline problems, David and Sara reframe them as leadership and systems responsibilities. The discussion also explores how emerging tools like AI can support neurodivergent leaders by capturing ideas, reducing cognitive load, and restoring margin when used intentionally and ethically. Grounded in real leadership experience, coaching work, and collaborative systems design, this episode challenges the assumption that burnout is a personal failure and instead points to the power of alignment, community, and humane leadership structures. In this episode:
    • Why burnout is often a systems issue, not a motivation problem
    • How ADHD and neurodivergence show up in leadership and teams
    • The role of kindness and challenge in healthy leadership cultures
    • How AI can support focus, follow through, and clarity
    • What it means to design work that fits real humans

  • Why Networking Conversations Don’t Convert Into Sales

    Why Networking Conversations Don’t Convert Into Sales
    2026/01/15
    Why do so many networking conversations never turn into real opportunities? In this episode, David Carr examines the leadership dynamics behind stalled conversions and why relationship-driven professionals often struggle to move conversations toward commitment.

    Inspired by the operating principles of Success Champions Network, this conversation explores how leadership, structure, and accountability shape whether conversations lead to results.

    David also references the systems-focused leadership behind SCN, led by Jessica Gruber, whose work emphasizes training, infrastructure, and intentional community design to support sustainable growth across chapters worldwide.

    Drawing from real leadership engagements and collaborative work with founders, consultants, and professional organizations, this episode reframes sales and growth as a leadership responsibility rather than a transactional skill.

    In this episode:
    • Why conversations alone don’t create growth
    • The cost of avoiding challenge in leadership
    • How structure protects trust
    • What it means to guide rather than convince

  • ESOPs Explained: Succession, Legacy, and Employee Ownership with Kelly Finnell

    ESOPs Explained: Succession, Legacy, and Employee Ownership with Kelly Finnell
    2026/01/14
    What if exiting your business did not mean selling out your people, your culture, or your legacy?

    In this episode, David Carr sits down with Kelly Finnell, President of EFS ESOP Consultants and one of the nation’s leading experts on Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), to unpack how employee ownership can be a powerful succession and liquidity strategy for business owners.

    With more than 40 years of experience helping founders transition ownership, Kelly breaks down what ESOPs actually are, how they work, and why they are often misunderstood. Together, David and Kelly explore why ESOPs appeal to what Kelly calls “compassionate capitalists” — leaders who want to achieve full fair market value for their business while also protecting employees, preserving culture, and sustaining long-term legacy.

    The conversation covers how ESOPs differ from private equity and strategic buyers, how tax advantages play a critical role, and why alignment between owners, employees, and performance creates healthier, more resilient organizations.

    Grounded in real-world case studies across engineering, defense contracting, and professional services, this episode reframes succession planning as a leadership decision — not just a financial transaction. In this episode:
    • What an ESOP is and how it works in plain language
    • Why ESOPs are an alternative to private equity and third-party sales
    • The role of legacy, culture, and stewardship in ownership transitions
    • How ESOPs align employee motivation with long-term performance
    • Common myths and misconceptions about ESOPs
    • What makes a company a strong (or weak) ESOP candidate
