the UNCOMMODiFiED Podcast Tim Windsor

This UNCORK conversation explores the intersection of art, theology, and psychology with my cohost, Kris MacQueen and our guest, renowned artist and author James Tughan. 

Join us as we explore the deep intentionality and design behind Tughan's artwork, the power of constraint in creativity, and the interplay between freedom and structure. We discuss how James's personal journey through mental health and trauma has influenced his artistic process and the themes he explores in his work. Our conversation also touches on the role of patrons in supporting artists and the challenges artists face in finding financial support. 

Listen in, and you'll be encouraged to embrace truth-telling and appreciate the depth and complexity of art and its ability to connect with the human experience.

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.

This UNPEDDLING conversation will be “food for thought” for Sales leaders and professionals who want to serve up better and more value for their customers, their companies, and themselves. 

Listen in and learn from what over three decades in selling and sales leadership have taught my guest, Brad Wagner. Brad’s journey …. Restaurant Dishwasher to Cook to a Chef who fell head over heels for the Hospitality Industry: A man driven to ensure those around him, his staff and guests had a wonderful experience every time they dinned with him. Then, a knee injury took him out of the kitchen and into the world of service sales, where he continued his passion for hospitality, selling French Fries and so much more along the way. After 30 years of what Brad considers “constant mistakes and incredible learnings,” he is humbled to lead a team of 50 amazing people responsible for over $2 billion in annual sales.  

During our conversation, Brad shared the importance of self-awareness and how it transformed his approach to sales. He emphasizes the value of helping others and how it leads to personal development. Brad also discusses the role of leadership in empowering and supporting the team. The conversation delves into uncommodifying a commodity business and the importance of agility and empathy in serving customers. Brad highlights the need for a positive attitude in challenging times and the impact of creating a culture of empathy and support.

Grab a drink and prepare to serve up better & more value to everyone around you.

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 b******t 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!
