In this episode of Unlock Your Leadership, Dr Gary Crotaz speaks with James D. White — former CEO of Jamba Juice and co-author of Anti-Racist Leadership: How to Transform Corporate Culture in a Race-Conscious World. James shares his hard-won insights on what it truly means to lead with equity — not as a program or initiative, but as a daily practice of courage, empathy, and accountability. He and Gary explore how leaders can move beyond statements of intent to build cultures that are genuinely inclusive, psychologically safe, and committed to lasting change. From his journey as a corporate leader to his work guiding organizations toward transformation, James offers a blueprint for the kind of moral and human leadership our times demand. This is a conversation about doing the inner work to lead the outer change — challenging, inspiring, and essential for every leader shaping the future of work.
