the UNCOMMODiFiED Podcast

In this NITTY-GRITTY, I share two more Life and Leadership lessons that my RV trips are teaching me. I am applying these in my personal life and my work with my client partners.

I am learning valuable lessons about towing the LOAD and gaining some insights about "weight distribution" and burning "fuel" in my life as I do.

I am also learning about hooking up and testing my LIGHTS on our new RV, and that is helping me see how leaders need to "signal" their desire to "change lanes" and their other intentions to those they lead.

This UNCORK conversation is sparked by this quote from Haile Selassie, "We must become bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook. We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community."

Leadership Historian Craig Minchin and I UNCORK some exceptional whiskey and chat about the powerful and captivating character and leadership traits of Haile Selassie. We explore some of his accomplishments and expose some of his failures and flaws: his light and darkness.

During our conversation, we discover the destiny in his name. We explore what we should engage with and retain. We experience the captivating power of charisma, the real grace of leaders. The importance of self-care and soul-care, and we find out what good thing can start to happen at 3:30 am every morning.

Craig shares how Selassie's life and legacy challenge him to live and lead and how it should challenge us to owe our allegiance to the right thing and the right people and serve it all, and all, for the betterment of the human community.

Pour a drink and get ready to be inspired to be Bigger. More. Greater. and Larger for others.

This episode is an UNCORK CONVERSATION with Matt Fletcher.

Matt is an UNCOMMODiFiED Podcast listener that I connected with through social media. After learning his story, I wanted to have on the show to share his personal and professional journey of buying his Dad’s business. And then recently selling that business to a larger corporation in an industry in which up to 70% of the industry’s knowledge could vaporize in the next ten years, and a historic number of businesses will be bought and sold.

Matt and I chat about the GIVE and TAKE in negation and what we GIVE and GET in life and business transactions and transitions. Because in the end, Matt didn’t just buy and sell a business; he purchased and sold roles and identities.

Along the way, we explore: What was easier than he expected? And what was harder than he expected when the business transitioned from his father to him and his brother? And then what was it like for him when the business was recently sold to a larger corporation?

Grab Pepsi or a Coke, and let’s see what we can GIVE and GET and BUY and SELL today.

In this episode, I highlight the 4 GIFTS that I consistently hear that employees, teams, partners, your partner, your children, and even your dog and cat want and need from you and other leaders this Christmas and throughout next year.

Give these 4 GIFTS that are on everyone's Christmas list this year and every year, and you will build trust and catalyze the attention and desire to set and achieve your goals. Because if you don't, there will be a lump of coal or a chunk of something else equally as disappointing in everyone's stocking and under every tree again this year. There will be division, confusion, and detrimental diminishment of effectiveness and impact for the people you attempt to lead and guide.

The four most BENEFICIAL and BEAUTIFUL Gifts that Wise Women and Wise Men who come together to lead others must come bearing this Christmas are CONSISTENCY. COHESIVENESS. COORDINATION. and CLARITY ... these are the Gifts people want and need from those who have been given the gift of leading and influencing them.

This episode is entitled "a CURIOUS Man. a CONSENSUS Building Mayor. an UN-POLITICIAN who Marches to the Beat of a Different Drummer." it's an UNCORK Conversation hosted by Kris MacQueen (my Podcast Producer) with Cam Guthrie, the Mayor of one of Canada's fastest-growing cities, Guelph, Ontario.

In this UNCORK conversation, Kris and Cam (and myself: eavesdropper and occasional interrupter in this episode) poke and prod into the mysterious world of politics and politicians. And as we do, we push into ideas like ... What you can learn when you lose. How curiosity and open-mindedness make all the difference. And the importance of living and leading with "NO REGRETS."

We talk about How to find a "hill to die on" without "killing people" on your way to the top. And about The cost and payoff of meaningful engagement as a leader.

We explore the power of Social Media and the boundaries that make it sustainable and healthy for you and others. And how a bit of levity and a proactive "thanks for caring enough to show up" conversation will break the harshness that can live within the rigorous debate and disagreements that will come from passionate people trying to be great and do great things for others.

Along the trails and rabbit trails in this Conversation, Cam … Mr. Mayor … Cam encourages us to understand the power of Authentic thankfulness and challenges and encourages you to understand that:

You don't have to go to University or College to be a continual learner. BUT YOU DO NEED TO BE CURIOUS & ADMIT YOU DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING.

And that there is one bad "political behaviour" that always causes politicians to not give their attention to the right thing for the right reason. Cam challenged us, and I am sure he will challenge you to understand and believe that Democracy is BIGGER than YOU and ME ... and even HIM.

You will need a drink and a pad of paper for this one. Got it; let's get really UN-Political and UNCORK this one right now.

This episode entitled "MindSet ReSet: Getting off the Hamster Wheel" is an UNCORK Conversation with Hypnotherapist and NLP Master Practitioner Lisa Schermerhorn.

Lisa and I walk some of the fiery coals of our fears and failures and challenge ourselves and you to explore the conscience and subconscious beliefs, the "scripts" we run and rehearse in our mind – good or bad and how they predict and propel our behaviour.

She shared some practical ideas, strategies, and tools to create and sustain mindset "shifts and resets"? And how discovering your "WHY" is deeply connected to all this.

If you choose (and it is a choice) to listen in on this conversation, Lisa will provoke you to find the "purpose your the pain." And to give the gift of your pain a new job to do. She also explains how epigenetics may be at work in you. And the importance of understanding that Your purpose doesn't always pay, but it will reward you and others when you find it and live in it.

Grab a glass of wine, have a drink, spin the record …. and find and fix the skip.
