Leadership Unlocked · 2026-07-08 · 52 min
Dusty sits down with David Stupay, five-time CEO, executive recruiter, and founder of Platinum Search Partners, for a deeply human conversation about the relationships, experiences, and values that shape exceptional leaders. Drawing from an unconventional career that spans leading a homeless shelter, serving communities in East Africa, building organizations that support children with special needs, and helping companies find transformational talent, David argues that every leader is only one relationship away from changing the course of someone’s life - and carries the responsibility to make that influence a positive one. Together, he and Dusty explore the dignity of work, the importance of building authentic community before you need it, why specificity and clarity are essential leadership skills, and how empathy is forged through serving others rather than climbing the corporate ladder.
