Season 2
Season 2 goes deeper on the mechanics of belonging: how power moves, how trust is built and repaired, and what changes when you are promoted into leadership. Start with Episode 6 on the peer to boss transition, or begin at Episode 1 and work forward.
S2:eP6 - Leadership + belonging

S2:eP4 - a conversation with nolan rollins
In this episode, we sit down with Nolan Rollins, Urban League alum, author of Incremental Equality, and self-described "builder". Join us for a powerful conversation about access, servant leadership, and the relationship between bias and equity.
S2:eP3 - AI + Belonging
Can human connection survive in the age of artificial intelligence? In this episode Natalie and Anthony tackle one of the most pressing questions facing leaders today: How do you build a culture of belonging when AI is transforming the way we work? In a candid (and slightly ironic) conversation, admitting they use AI tools to produce this very podcast, our hosts explore the delicate balance between embracing AI for efficiency and preserving the human connection that makes teams thrive.
S2:eP2 - Othering + Belonging

S2:EP1 - Trust+ Belonging
In this episode, we explore how building trust with teams can foster cultures of belonging when leaders practice consistent, predictable behavior and show a genuine investment in others.
