In this 7-minute and 37-second episode, we dive deep—literally—into the hidden world beneath our feet: the underground, pulsing, interconnected web of fungi called mycelium. But don't be fooled—this isn't just some science lesson. Fungi teach us a thing or two about survival and success, lessons we desperately need in our personal and professional lives. Mycelium isn't just an underground network—it's a thriving system of communication, collaboration, and resilience, silently making or breaking our ecosystems. Because, like it or not, we're all part of networks like this, and how we communicate, collaborate, and hold ourselves accountable determines whether we thrive or wither.
Join me as I uncover what these seemingly humble fungi can teach about building healthy, robust connections. More importantly, I'll show you how to identify and sever toxic ones. If you've ever felt like you're connected to the wrong people or that your relationships are draining you instead of feeding your growth, this episode is for you.
Fungi don't just adapt—they flourish. And if you're ready to flourish as well, you won't want to miss these lessons from nature's most unexpected network.

In this 5-minute and 38-second episode, I explore a perplexing paradox that will twist your mind into knots and empower you to be more grounded, present, and appreciative of the "here and now."
Ready for it? Here it is: "Here is where you always are, never there. But when you get there, then you're here again."
It sounds like a ridiculous, mind-twisting riddle or an abstract philosophical puzzle. But it's not. It's a fundamental truth about our existence, consciousness, and life experience. And pondering this paradox will change the way you live your life.

If it's your story - why do you let others write it and tell it for you? Do you really believe that you're writing your own story? Do you fully claim the pen? Do you fully own the paper and the power of crafting the tale of your life, or are you abdicating that to others? And, how do you take your personal, professional, business, or organization's story back and create a new narrative that will enhance your positive impact and effect on you and others: after all - it's your story, and you can learn to tell it better.
This UNCORKED conversation with Dave Summers, owner and founder of Pine Mountain Digital, explores the importance of owning and crafting one's own story and how to create a new narrative that enhances positive impact. Throughout our conversation, Dave emphasizes the need for authenticity in storytelling, capturing attention, and entertaining and engaging your audience.

Have you ever felt like you were marching to the beat of your own drum, only to realize that your rhythm is what makes the melody of life so much richer? This UNCORK conversation will be sweet and sacred music for those who have felt different, misunderstood, or out of sync with the world around them. It's a celebration of the moment when the puzzle pieces start to fit, when the fog lifts, and when you finally see your unique qualities as gifts, not burdens.
Whether you're living with autism, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the diverse spectrum of human experience, this space is for you. Take a deep breath, open your heart, and join us as we unwrap the gift for yourself and others when you finally understand why you're different.
This UNCORK conversation features Jamie Reaburn, a 43-year-old woman who was recently diagnosed with autism. She's a mother, a wife, a dog mom, an amateur boxer, a gardening enthusiast, and a high school English department head and teacher. Her unique perspective and experiences make this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding autism.
Listen in as we explore the experience of being different and applaud the realization that being unique is something to be celebrated. Jamie and I chat about the importance of self-advocacy and the therapeutic nature of stimming. The episode encourages listeners to have open and honest conversations about autism and to be more understanding and accepting of individuals with autism. Jamie discusses how her autism diagnosis has been a gift to her and an opportunity to have conversations, be kind to herself and others, and gain a new perspective. She emphasizes the importance of getting curious instead of critical and finding joy in the midst of struggles. Jamie also shares how her diagnosis has impacted her parenting, allowing her to self-monitor and be more understanding of her own needs. She encourages parents to be curious about their own feelings and to focus on the root of their child's behaviour as they help them navigate the world within them and around them.

Consider this: what breed would you never want to be if you were a feline? What seven-letter idiom is a crafty and somewhat critical way to describe the complex psychology and behaviour known as "mimicry?" And what seven-letter compound word that begins with C and ends with T is a derogatory label you may give to someone who's just trying to fake it to make it and do it just like everyone else? The answer to all of these questions and the main consideration of this conversation is - A COPYCAT - a person who imitates others. A rather insecure soul, a person who is willingly swallowing a pill of conformity and washing it down with a chaser of predictable mediocrity. A person busy mimicking someone else's moves and suffocating their unique potential in the process. A person squandering their chance to unleash their unique brand of impact and effect into the world. A person who is being controlled and animated by the evil spell of sameness.
In this UNCORK conversation, Michelle Martin, "the business leader's success coach," and I discuss the importance of authenticity and avoiding mimicry in life and business. Michelle shares her experience of leaving a successful corporate career to pursue her own path, not conforming, being a copycat, and staying true to herself.
Our conversation also delves into the challenges of breaking free from old patterns and beliefs. We underscore the importance of living in alignment with one's true self and the power of embracing uniqueness. This discussion is a powerful reminder to our audience to find harmony between different aspects of their identity and to be courageous, ever-evolving, and true to themselves.

Are you living and leading by design or just by default? It's time to wake up and live the life you want—not the one someone else programmed for you.
In this UNCORK conversation, we explore the concept of living by default versus living by design with Nancy Gentle Boudrie, a mindfulness and mindset coach. Nancy's insights reveal how default programming, often influenced by upbringing and societal expectations, can lead to a life of unhealthy unconscious habits and survival mode. She stresses the importance of awakening and becoming aware of these default settings in order to live a life by design. Nancy also shares her personal journey of transitioning from a high-stress entrepreneurial career to becoming a mindfulness and mindset coach. Additionally, we explore the practical application of mindfulness and emotional awareness as tools for waking up and living by design and the importance of authenticity and vulnerability in personal and professional relationships. Our conversation concludes with a discussion on living a life by design and embracing one's uniqueness for the benefit of others.

This UNCORK conversation with educator and community leader Josh Windsor examines these crucial questions: Should we, or are we seeing a seismic shift in how we should deliver public education and define student and system successful outcomes? And, how does the often bureaucratic and politically entangled world of public education leadership compare with the profit-driven arena of private sector leadership?
Our chat is a deep dive into the need for students to engage with 21st-century learning competencies and the concept of micro-credentialing. It also touches on the importance of teaching creativity and breaking down disciplinary silos to achieve the ultimate goal of creating an education system that values engagement and provides students with relevant and transferable skills.
The conversation also explores various aspects of education, including student engagement and activism, the application of knowledge, supporting adolescents, cell phone use and communication, instilling values and problem-solving skills, resilience and failure, parental support and self-advocacy, leadership in education vs. the private sector, the complexity of education leadership, balancing stakeholder needs, challenges faced by educators, passion and dedication in education, and building relationships and trust.

Here’s a rather uncomfortable truth … You are not experiencing the change you want to see in your personal or professional life because you are just not dissatisfied or pissed off enough.
Listen to this 6-minute & 55-second episode, where I explore the relationship between dissatisfaction and change: the truth that the desire to change is energized and activated by the palpable and even painful discontent and dissatisfaction you and I have with the present state of something in our lives.
It’s time to stop lying to ourselves about the things we say want to change but are not genuinely dissatisfied enough to take action.
It’s time to grow dissatisfied and become aggressive antagonists of the status quo in ourselves and others to drive positive change.
And it’s time to convert our dissatisfaction into positive action and become the answer to the problems we want to solve in ourselves and for others.
