From Bias to Breakthrough: What Happens When We Actually Get Honest at Work

Send us a text What if the biggest barrier to inclusion isn’t policy—but pride? In this episode, Justin Jones-Fosu, CEO of Work Meaningful and author of “I Respectfully Disagree,” joins me for a brutally honest, career-shifting conversation on what it really takes to lead inclusively. We go beyond the checkboxes and get into the messy middle—where unconscious bias meets real-time growth. Justin opens up about a personal moment of bias that still shows up for him and walks us through how he rewrites the story with curiosity, empathy, and humor. We talk about: 🔹 Why inclusion must go beyond race, gender, and identity 🔹 The leadership habit that’s more effective than the “open door” policy 🔹 How childlike curiosity builds better teams 🔹 The role of therapy in staying grounded under pressure 🔹 What to do after the bias shows up This episode might just change how you show up—at work and in life.
