As part of our continued celebration of Women’s History Month, More Than A Title host Jarrett sits down with Madison Butler—founder of Blue Haired Unicorn, culture strategist, and one of the most honest voices in the conversation around leadership and workplace culture. Madison has built her career challenging the idea that professionalism means hiding who you really are. Through her work with organizations and leaders around the country, she’s helping redefine what it means to be human at work—creating spaces where authenticity, psychological safety, and real connection aren’t just buzzwords, but the foundation of strong teams and thriving companies. In this episode, Madison and Jarrett talk about the power of vulnerability in leadership, why difficult conversations around mental health and trauma matter in the workplace, and how embracing humanity can actually make organizations stronger. Madison also shares the inspiration behind her upcoming book “Let Them See You: Empowering Change Through Authenticity” and why showing up fully—flaws, truth, and all—is the key to meaningful change. Featured in outlets like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Rolling Stone, and recognized as a LinkedIn Top Black Voice to Follow, Madison’s mission is clear: help people live, work, and exist out loud.
