How do you turn being an outsider into your greatest leadership asset?
In this inspiring tri-generational conversation, Jon Goehring, Coach Jim Johnson, and Dr. Rehnuma Karim sit down with Scott MacGregor, entrepreneur, author, and founder of the Outlier Project, to explore the power of curiosity, embracing your unique path, and building a tribe of “like-hearted” leaders who refuse to follow the crowd.
Scott shares his journey of finding success by leaning into what made him different… taking the path less traveled, celebrating “outlier” thinking, and cultivating genuine connections with people, not transactions.
He reveals practical advice for emerging leaders on:

• Why curiosity is your leadership superpower and how to nourish it daily
• The critical difference between transactional relationships and true friendships
• Building teams that thrive on work ethic, discipline, and coachability … not just credentials
• How to evaluate career choices and know when it’s time to pivot (hint: it’s never too late)
• The secret to long-term success: kindness and relentless work ethic

You’ll also hear about Scott’s remarkable career milestones, his award-winning innovative businesses, and how he turned his network into a platform for lifting outliers worldwide.
Whether you feel like the black sheep or are ready to build your own “something new,” this episode will ignite your leadership fire and show you how to lead without following. Resources Mentioned:
