Have you ever felt that invisible thread that links you to others? That moment of genuine connection that makes you feel seen, heard, and understood? Today, we’re going to talk about that thread—why it’s the strongest material a leader can use, and why nurturing it is the most beautiful thing you can do for your life. We’ll look at connection in leadership, share a story of a woman who built a movement with it, and explore the most important connection of all: to ourselves.

I gotta be honest, I did not see this conversation and connection coming. When my dear friend and past podcast co-host, Sabe Anderson, dropped and email in my inbox introducing me to Neil, I was happy to make the acquaintance as always. But did not see the incredible human the Neil was until this conversation.

Neil is the host of the Neuro Dope podcast and has the incredible ability to recall so many facts, histories, and experiences that he is now using as an executive coach. I noticed the couple of times he even took the opportunity to coach me in this session. It was humbling and I was awe struck with his ability to be gentle and not controlling.

Neil’s Podcast, Neuro Dope, is about peer support. it is a real-time model of growing together in moments of co-regulatory safety.

From his own words,

“It is true. I’m autistic. Very neurodivergent. Podcasting was not something I ever thought I would want to do, but I trusted Sabe. And I wanted to become more than a disabled ghost. I have been coaching people for over 20 years. Sabe was the first person to see me and attempt the impossible–make a record of the light we bear. I am a post materialist savant. I get downloads throughout every episode. 

85% of autistics with college degrees like me are disabled precisely because we are not seen or valued, but many of us work all the time caring for our sick and dying family members. What I have to say and what you will hear in this podcast is better explained by The Telepathy Tapes. Our work runs parallel and I hope you have digested all what Ky Dickens has made clear with her excellent work. We all have value. We are all competent, because we carry the light.
