When Leaders Talk · 2024-05-15 · 48 min
What do you do when you feel you are treated unjustly? Do you suck it up? Do you complain? Or, do you do something to fix the problem? I prefer the latter because proactiveness is a characteristic of strong leaders. I have always appreciated people who take the initiative to solve problems. That is why I was delighted to have Justin Ayars as a guest on “When Leaders Talk.” Justin is a serial entrepreneur, CEO, and founder of EqualityMD. His company is on a mission to address discrimination in healthcare for members of the LGTBQ+ community (yes, there is discrimination. It’s absurd, right?). Justin and I explore his perspective on leadership, and taking advantage of Justin’s experience in the startup ecosystem, we also talk about the importance of getting ready, starting with building self-awareness, to increase the chances of success. Of course, we talk about the LGBTQ+ community and how he has struggled to keep his sexual orientation hidden in some workplaces. Justin is a fantastic human being who takes the initiative to make the lives of many better and easier. Listen to him because there is a lot of wisdom from which to get inspired.
