We’re unpacking leadership that builds people up, leaves no one behind, and measures success by lives changed—not trophies. With Phyllis Nichols, we dig into the practice of leading from the back of the pack, where teaching, coaching, and empowering turn raw potential into real progress. It’s a candid, story-rich exploration of substance over sizzle and why the most effective leaders obsess over outcomes, not optics.

A single question reorients the whole conversation: what if success is measured by who you lift, not what you keep? We sit down with Phyllis Nichols—longtime Urban League leader, civil rights advocate, and relentless connector—to trace how faith, family, and practical tools turn good intentions into real outcomes.

What happens when life gives you a second chance? Clarence Vaughn's story is nothing short of extraordinary—a powerful testament to how faith, community support, and personal determination can transform even the most challenging beginnings into a life of purpose and service.

Expelled from high school after missing 86% of the school year with a shocking 0.7 GPA, Clarence could have become another statistic. Instead, he is now serving as Director for the Office of Access and Community Connections at the University of Tennessee's Haslam College of Business, Clarence has come full circle. He creates opportunities for young people just like his former self, including pre-collegiate summer programs that bring high school students to campus. His leadership philosophy is refreshingly grounded: "Small wins outweigh large victories," he advises, cautioning against the desire to leap from entry-level to CEO without experiencing the crucial steps between.
