Topic: The Power of Inclusive Influence
In this episode, we tackle Perspective #2: Inclusive Influence—a leadership approach that goes far beyond representation.
✨ What is Inclusive Influence?
It’s the active shaping of culture and decision-making so that diverse voices are heard, valued, and integrated into the DNA of the business.
🔑 Why it matters:
Financially → Drives innovation, expands market reach, and reduces costly turnover
Operationally → Builds collaboration, strengthens problem-solving, and reduces friction
Organizationally → Creates belonging, boosts engagement, and positions your company as an employer of choice
When leaders embrace inclusive influence, DEI stops being performative and becomes a sustainable competitive advantage.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
