Leadership Clarity in a Tech-Driven World with Cory Dunham
Host Joshua McNary welcomes executive coach and keynote speaker Cory Dunham of Cory Dunham Advisory (Ann Arbor, Michigan), who helps founder-led service businesses close the gap between the value they deliver and the growth they experience.
Cory shares his background co-owning a family marketing business that evolved from pre-internet, handshake-based relationships to modern digital operations, and explains how he uses aviation metaphors to emphasize continual course correction. They discuss how abundant low-cost tools and fast-changing AI create distraction and “C+” execution, shrinking attention spans, and over-reliance that can reduce depth in decision-making.
Cory stresses intentional, values-based leadership, ethical growth, and combining tech with community and trust, including narrowing tools to a few core platforms. His actionable tip: step away from screens to reflect, clarify the ideal client and problem, and then use technology deliberately.
