  • 329 - Listening is the Gateway to Asking Better Questions with Chedva Ludmir
    Jul 8 2025

    When we stop looking for the perfect question, when we choose to reflect rather than react, and when we wait and listen, for just a little while longer – it can change everything.

    Public speaker, serial entrepreneur and owner of Consider, Chedva Ludmir has made it her mission to help others embrace curiosity, listen deeply, and make friends with uncertainty.

    Together, we explore the power of asking thoughtful questions in all of life’s moments – from time-restricted workshops, to orthodox religions, and scary career crossroads. And why when big decisions did loom, Chedva didn’t ask herself should I do this? but rather started to ask, when it’s time, will I know it?

    Find out about:

    • How to stay present and curious in conversations, without leaping into question-asking
    • The importance and humility in asking gentle, gateway questions
    • The tension between certainty and curiosity, and why it's okay not to know
    • What it means to hold space for ourselves, and others, to discover truth
    • The power of fictional characters or novels to explore sensitive topics or emotions

  • 328 - Vodcast 328 : Healing the Boardroom: Insights from the Inner Child with Jason Perelson
    Jul 1 2025

    Leaders, who’s really running the business? Is it you, or is it your inner child in the boardroom chair, with all of your messy, unresolved childhood patterns, triggers, and attachment styles running the show?

    Here to help us find the healed, playful inner child is Jason Perelso! He has spent the past quarter of a century helping brilliantly flawed humans to better understand themselves, destigmatize their triggers, step into vulnerability, and become emotionally mature, self-aware leaders.

    Together we explore how to heal the boardroom, learn from our inner child, and make leadership decisions without them calling the shots!

    Find out about:

    • The role of unresolved childhood patterns and emotional regulation in leadership
    • And why leaders so often make decisions from a place of childhood experience
    • How to gain awareness of our triggers in order to destigmatize them
    • The relationship between attachment theories and leadership styles
    • How to become the healed, playful inner child with innovation at the heart

  • 327 - Building Facilitation from the Inside Out with Matt Homann
    Jun 24 2025

    Stale, stuffy boardrooms, awkwardly arranged furniture, and scratchy marker-pens that have nearly run dry. A facilitator’s lament – and perhaps, our worst enemy.

    Tired of the constant shapeshifting to squeeze into spaces that were never meant for facilitation, Matt Homann moved into the business of hosting people – in his own space. He built Filament, a facilitation space with a codified approach at its core, to help people to meet, think and learn better, freeing creativity from logistical limitations, and making sure a terrible workshop never has to happen again.

    We talk about how space liberates us, the structures that spark the best conversations, and why simplicity always wins over complexity. Join us!

    Find out about:

    • The role of environment in facilitation – and why it’s your most powerful tool
    • Why owning your own facilitation space allows you to experiment, ideate quickly, shift group dynamics, and design for interaction
    • Why facilitation tools and frameworks need to be simple and memorable
    • Why the best facilitators often don’t carry the title
