UNSTUCK Podcast | From the Neighborhood to the Boardroom — Leading With Your Blueprint with Jerry Price | Episode 008Most people think belonging is a program you roll out.Jerry Price knows it's a way of life — and he's been living it his whole career.In Episode 008 of UNSTUCK, I sit down with Jerry Price, Belonging Partner Advisor for Corewell Health East, to talk about culture, community, leadership, and what it really means to build environments where people are seen, valued, and able to contribute.Jerry grew up in Benton Harbor, Michigan — steps from Lake Michigan and steps from the hood. He'll tell you both shaped him. His parents came out of Mississippi and rural Florida in the 1940s with a deep sense of service and a conviction that giving back wasn't optional. That blueprint has followed him into every room he's ever walked into.From grassroots community work to advising executive leaders at one of the largest health systems in the region — Jerry has built a career on a simple idea: when you authentically invest in people, unexpected success follows.In this episode, you'll hear:Why your lived experience is your leadership blueprint — and how to transfer it anywhereThe difference between getting in the door, sitting at the table, and creating the menuWhy belonging and inclusion has to be personal before it can be professionalWhat happened to DEI — and why the how matters as much as the whatHow to find calm in the chaos and manage your energy for maximum impactWhy "every stranger holds your next opportunity"The jazz festival Jerry built on the shores of Lake Michigan — and what it taught him about communityWhy coaching is about personal change, not just professional growthAnd maybe most importantly: Why Jerry believes that communities who felt like they didn't have a voice are about to sing the loudest.This conversation is honest, warm, and deeply practical for leaders, professionals, coaches, and anyone who believes that how you treat people is your strategy.Learn more at https://www.translatorscg.com/podcast. About the Guest:Jerry Price is the Belonging Partner Advisor for Corewell Health East, where he guides belonging and culture transformation efforts across Southeast Michigan.
