Do Something Today | Kevin Ahmaad Jenkins | The Sean Trace Show

In this episode of The Sean Trace Show, I sit down with Dr. Kevin Ahmaad Jenkins, a University of Pennsylvania lecturer and the founder of Concord Healthcare Solutions, to talk about equity, empathy, and what it actually looks like to show up when it counts.

We get real about bias, not as a buzzword, but as something you can notice, challenge, and use to become a better human and a better leader. Kevin shares stories from the rooms where tough conversations happen: hospitals, Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies, and community leadership. He breaks down the difference between cognitive empathy, emotional empathy, and compassionate empathy (the kind that ends with action). I also share personal moments from life in Vietnam, fatherhood, anxiety, and the daily discipline of making the bed and walking into the fire instead of running from it.

If you care about leadership, DEI, mental resilience, fatherhood, and how to build a world that is safer and more human, this conversation will challenge you in the best way and push you toward the simplest takeaway: don't just say "aw," do something.
