Hosted by Caleb Maxwell, this episode features Scott and Sam McLarty of Connecting Futures, who share how they’re transforming youth employment through a neurodiverse lens. From mentoring programs and inclusive workplaces to navigating the NDIS and expanding nationally, their journey shows how purpose-driven leadership and empathy can redefine what meaningful work looks like.
Key takeaways: Adapt environments, not individuals. Collaboration and empathy build stronger teams. Real inclusion fuels both social impact and business growth when diversity becomes the foundation—not the afterthought—of success.
