Just because you create IMPACT does not guarantee that your IMPACT will endure … and ENDURING IMPACT is what the long game in life and leadership is all about.

In this UNCORKED conversation, I explore the idea and ideal of creating and sustaining an enduring positive impact on those around me with my guest, top-ranked leadership coach, culture change expert, vision story developer, business transformation specialist, author, and podcaster James Kerr.

Our whiskey chat explores the importance of mindset, the connection between enduring impact and being an indispensable leader, and the challenges leaders face in creating the positive impact they desire.

Here are some highlights from our conversation for you to consider: Enduring impact is about creating a lasting impression that survives the moment and continues to have a positive influence. Mindset plays a crucial role in creating enduring impact, shaping our behaviour and how we lead. Leaders can leverage their strengths and focus on areas where they want to make a difference to create an impact. Deep listening and asking great questions are essential skills for creating enduring impact. And, never forget that you are impacting people all the time, so it is crucial to consider the kind of impact you are leaving on others.

Grab a wee dram and prepare to create a more sustainable positive impact on those you love, lead, and do life with.

Life is hard some days, and it doesn't always turn out the way we expect it to in the moment. The secret I've discovered is that we must remind ourselves daily that this is a long game, a long haul, and a long, winding road will take us towards where we need to be.

Listen to this 8-minute & 19-second episode, and let me remind you that life requires patience and a long-term perspective. Impatience and the desire for quick results can hinder our progress. It is essential to understand that some things take more time to materialize, and we must be patient and allow them to unfold naturally. The long-haul approach in life and business will lead to greater fulfillment and success. Believing in the possibility of change and being open to new chapters in our lives is crucial. Embracing the long game allows us to navigate obstacles and challenges with wisdom and resilience.

What can the perfect stranger you meet on the pages of a book or on Instagram teach you about yourself and the life you must live?

In this UNCORKED conversation, I chat with Justin Marlowe. Here's what I discovered about Justin in our DM's, emails, and our 7:38 AM Phone call on Thanksgiving Day … Justin is a new author working hard to birth his book entitled "Perfect Strangers" into the real world for you and me to read and experience. His book combines elements of black culture, racial strife, mental health, pop culture, history, humour, and romance into a tale you will want to read when it finds its place in the crowded world of printed and digital books. Justin is bold, brave, and a bit brash … no man's fool and yet willing to be wise and foolish enough to transcend the din of social media bullshit I see every day and get my full attention.

Justin and I discuss his writing journey and what drove him to write. Inspirational figures in Justin's story. The therapeutic nature of writing and the lessons he has learned along the way. Justin shares that his father has been one of the most influential figures in his story and how writing has helped him gain empathy for the people he has met over the years. He emphasizes the importance of bringing one's unique perspective and contribution to the world and a reminder to pursue creative endeavours despite fear.

PRODUCTION NOTE: WHEN THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED, JUSTIN DID NOT HAVE A PUBLISHING DEAL. GREAT NEWS ... HE DOES NOW!

This question fuels this UNCORK conversation … Does my heart and mind need to be decolonized? And, does yours?
