S3E6: Curtis Baker - Storytelling as a Bridge

S3E6: Curtis Baker - Storytelling as a Bridge

What happens when you spend your life feeling like an outsider and discover that it's actually your greatest leadership strength?

In this episode of The Thriving Misfits, I sit down with Curtis Baker, a DEI leader and advocate based in Asia, to explore what it means to lead across cultures while embracing the identity of a misfit.

From moving to China with no long-term plan to building a life and career across Asia, Curtis shares how curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to be uncomfortable opened doors he never expected.

Together, we discuss:
• What it means to be a cultural misfit
• Why diversity starts with embracing differences
• The power of curiosity and lifelong learning
• How language can become a bridge instead of a barrier
• Leading with humility in unfamiliar environments
• Building belonging while navigating different cultures

Whether you're working across cultures, living abroad, or simply trying to find your place in the world, this conversation offers valuable insights on leadership, identity, and connection.
