Description

In this episode of Shining Through: Inspiring Voices of Autism, we sit down with local Chick-fil-A owner, Duane Johnston, who is not only serving up great food—but also creating inclusive work environments. Hear how this business leader has embraced inclusion by employing neurodiverse young adults, sought training for his team to promote understanding, and partnered with a local nonprofit to offer an in-house vocational opportunity. From hiring practices to workplace culture, we explore what it really takes to build a supportive, inclusive environment—and why it’s good for business and the community. Whether you're a business owner, advocate, or simply curious about how to make the workplace more inclusive, this conversation offers insight, inspiration, and actionable ideas.
