    Bet on People with Quency Phillips

    In this episode of the Bet on People Podcast, Keegan Evans, executive coach and AI Consultant at Euda and Limited Partner at Beyond Earth Ventures, speaks with Quency Phillips, Founder and CEO of Lighthouse Innovation Center, renowned author, visionary, and speaker,  about authentic leadership, economic opportunity, and what it means to bring lived experience into professional spaces. The conversation explores full-self leadership, access to opportunity, bridge-building communication, and the responsibility leaders have to create room for people who are often overlooked or unseen. Quency connects these leadership lessons to his journey from the south side of Chicago and Northwestern University to entrepreneurship and community work in Silicon Valley. His experience across engineering, corporate environments, media, and ecosystem-building gives him a practical perspective on how leaders can communicate across differences, build trust, and use visibility to open doors for others. Expect to Learn: How to bring lived experience into leadership: Authentic leaders can share their story with judgment about when to bring their full self into a room and when to lead from an authentic core.Why access to opportunity changes ambition: Exposure to spaces where doors feel open can help people see possibilities they did not previously know were available.How vulnerability builds resilience: Asking for help, naming a struggle, and staying in the work can become a stronger leadership signal than pretending to have everything handled.The role of bridge-building communication: Leaders can use story, language, and shared experience to connect across communities instead of creating more distance.How leaders make space for others: Passing opportunities to team members and keeping seats warm for the next person can build confidence and expand representation.Why economic opportunity requires relationship-building: Lighthouse Silicon Valley focuses on connecting corporate, community, academic, and partner ecosystems so opportunity is not limited to one-off moments.Episode Breakdown with Timestamps: 00:00 - Teaser 01:16 - Keegan introduces Quency Phillips and Lighthouse Innovation Center 01:54 - Quency defines his one-line approach to human leadership 03:39 - Quency reflects on Northwestern and discovering access to opportunity 07:42 - The early influences that shaped Quency's belief in pushing through closed doors 10:42 - Moving from engineering school into corporate opportunities and entrepreneurship 18:35 - The idea of “type in cursive” as a model for authentic communication 20:48 - Quency describes becoming a trusted voice in Silicon Valley 25:21 - Lighthouse Innovation Center’s work across corporate and partner ecosystems 28:41 - leadership lessons, career advice, mentors, AI, and personal recommendations. 34:25 - Closing remarks, where to connect with Quency Phillips, and episode wrap-up. 🔗Connect with Guest Quency Phillips: 👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/quencylphillips/ 👉 Email: quency@lighthousesv.org  🔗Connect with Lighthouse Innovation Center: 👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lighthouse-innovation-center/ 👉 Website: https://www.lighthousesv.org/  🔗 Follow the Vinyl to Viral Podcast on: 👉 Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/xk/podcast/vinyl-to-viral/id1836035435  🔗Connect with Host Keegan Evans: 👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/keeganevans/ 🔗 More from Euda: 👉 Website: https://www.euda.io/ 👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/euda-io/ 🔗 Follow the Podcast on: 👉 Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bet-on-people/id1882863281 👉 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5HgXTMbgkDsmuqzUiDGcXc 👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Euda-io

    Bet on People with Haley Moss

    In this episode of the Bet on People, Keegan Evans, executive coach and AI Consultant at Euda and Limited Partner at Beyond Earth Ventures, speaks with Haley Moss, neurodiversity expert and founder of Haley Moss LLC, keynote speaker, lawyer, educator, and author of several books that guide neurodivergent individuals through professional and personal challenges, about building more inclusive workplaces for neurodivergent people. The conversation covers authenticity, boundaries, accessibility, disclosure, communication preferences, and how leaders can design work environments that support different ways of thinking and collaborating. Haley brings lived experience as an autistic professional whose advocacy began as a teenager, later expanded through writing, law school, legal practice, speaking, and consulting. Her path from early diagnosis to workplace advocacy gives listeners a practical view of why accessibility should be built into culture and policy rather than treated as a one-person exception. Key Takeaways How authenticity and boundaries work together: being open at work does not require sharing every personal detail, and leaders can model self-respect by choosing what stays private.Why accessibility belongs in policy: building flexibility into work norms reduces one-off accommodation requests and helps more people succeed before problems arise.The communication practices that reduce anxiety: simple working-with-me preferences, agenda context, and follow-up norms can make collaboration clearer for neurodivergent and non-neurodivergent teammates.How belief and support change outcomes: a person taking a chance, saying yes, or providing a safety net can make trying difficult paths possible even when others predict failure.Why disclosure becomes easier with strategy: framing disability through strengths, needs, and boundaries can help reduce stigma while protecting the individual’s choice to share.How AI can be both uncomfortable and useful: skepticism about creative harm can coexist with using AI as a practical tool for accessibility, templates, and skill-building.Episode Breakdown with Timestamps: 00:00 - Teaser 01:29 - Introduction to Haley Moss and her neurodiversity work 02:36 - Authenticity, self-care, and showing up as yourself 04:19 - Autism diagnosis, early expectations, and entering advocacy 06:28 - Why disability rights law created empathy overload 13:03 - How virtual work exposed long-standing accessibility biases 16:11 - Inclusive policies, accommodations, and different work needs 23:46 - Disclosure, stigma, and strengths-based self-advocacy 28:22 - AI, creativity, and accessibility for the disability community 🔗Connect with Guest Haley Moss: 👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/haleylmoss/  👉 Email:  haley@haleymoss.com 👉 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HaleyMossART/    👉 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/haley.moss/  👉 Twitter/X: https://x.com/haleymossart   🔗Connect with Haley Moss LLC: 👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/haley-moss/  👉 Website: https://haleymoss.com/  👉 Learn more through Haley Moss's books and publications: https://haleymoss.com/publications/  🔗Connect with Host Keegan Evans: 👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/keeganevans/ 🔗 More from Euda: 👉 Website: https://www.euda.io/ 👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/euda-io/ 🔗 Follow the Podcast on: 👉 Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bet-on-people/id1882863281 👉 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5HgXTMbgkDsmuqzUiDGcXc 👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Euda-io
