At what point do you stop asking "What's wrong with me?" and start asking "What's wrong with the system?"

In this episode, Paul sits down with neurodiversity researcher Zack Yarde to unpack one of the most important mindset shifts for neurodivergent individuals: you are not the problem.

Zach shares powerful insights on self-acceptance, the pressure to fit "typical" presentations of neurodivergence, and why organizations often fail at true inclusion. Together, they explore where inclusion efforts break down—systems, leadership, or culture—and why all three must work together to create meaningful change.

This conversation is a reminder that authenticity isn't a weakness—it's a strength.

The full episode of this conversation goes live on March 25.
