Welcome back, dear listener. Today, we’re diving into a conversation about the power of community, creativity, and connection—and how they can transform not just our work and creative endeavors, but our lives.

My guest is Michael Averill, an award-winning speaker, musician, and community builder who has spent over 20 years fostering deep connections across teams, organizations, and even entire countries—literally. He once walked 4,000 miles across Canada, using music and storytelling to bring people together. His work is all about helping people move beyond the limitations of going it alone and into the magic of collaboration.

In this episode, we explore why trying to do everything yourself leads to burnout, what happens when you let go of control and invite others into your vision, and how embracing community can take your work further than you ever imagined. Michael shares powerful stories from his own journey—both on stage and on the road—that will leave you feeling inspired to lean into connection in new ways.

Let’s get into it!
