Ep 249: Robert - The Business Power of Disability Inclusion
This is episode #249 of The Limitless Podcast with Nick Jonsson, and we are honored to welcome Robert Stack, President and CEO of Community Options, Inc. In this powerful and deeply insightful conversation, Robert takes us inside The Business Power of Disability Inclusion—a topic he has championed for more than three decades.
Robert shares how organizations can move far beyond basic compliance and begin to embrace disability inclusion as a core driver of innovation, stronger culture, and long-term business performance. Drawing from his years of experience leading Community Options, he illustrates how creating workplaces that empower and support individuals of all abilities is not just the right thing to do—it is a strategic advantage.
Throughout the episode, Robert breaks down the real-world economic and human impact of inclusive hiring practices. He highlights how companies that actively remove barriers and cultivate environments of accessibility experience increased creativity, improved problem-solving, and more loyal, engaged teams. His perspective reframes disability inclusion from being an obligation into a genuine, transformative opportunity for organizations of all sizes.
Robert also touches on the cultural ripple effects. When leaders take inclusion seriously, the message extends far beyond HR policies—shaping how employees interact, communicate, and collaborate. It influences how teams innovate and how companies show up in the communities they serve.
Whether you’re a business executive, HR professional, policy influencer, or advocate for greater equity in the workplace, this episode will challenge your assumptions and broaden your perspective. Robert’s message reminds us that inclusion is good for people—and good for business. It strengthens culture, boosts engagement, and unlocks human potential that would otherwise remain unseen.
If you’ve ever wondered how to turn inclusion from a buzzword into a measurable strategy that benefits everyone, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
