Leaders Who Create Collaboration: In this episode of Leaders Who Create, host Jason Squires sits down with Chris Carpenter during a pivotal season of change. As Chris steps into a new career chapter, he reflects honestly on what it means to leave a role with clarity, care, and intention. Together, they explore the often-overlooked leadership work that happens on the way out from collaborative handoffs to empowering others to lead in their own voice rather than replicating your own. Jason and Chris unpack how to discern what to release and what to protect during a leadership transition, why preparation matters long before the change is announced, and how leaders can set their teams up for strength and continuity even after they’re gone. This conversation is a must-listen for leaders navigating change, sensing a transition ahead, or wanting to steward their influence well to the very end. Leadership doesn’t stop when you leave.

Leaders Who Create Community: Join Jason Squires as he sits down with Nick Breitbart of Chick-fil-A to explore what happens when a fast-food restaurant becomes a community catalyst. Nick shares the moment he realized Chick-fil-A was about far more than chicken sandwiches and how a distinct culture rooted in service, language, and shared values has shaped everything from how teams show up at work to how guests feel seen and cared for. Jason and Nick dig into the leadership ingredients behind Chick-fil-A’s reputation: empowering employees to be community builders, the subtle power of phrases like “My Pleasure,” and why the brand inspires both fierce loyalty and strong opinions. They also pull back the curtain on customer experience, consistency, and the kind of intentionality that can’t be faked. And because no episode is complete without a food question, Nick gives us his behind-the-scenes Chick-fil-A order. Learn how someone who has been around for a while orders their food. If you’ve ever wondered how culture becomes community, this conversation is for you.
