Beaver

Home. It’s a four-letter word that brings up a lot of things. As a gal who was voted “most likely to move away and never come back” in high school, the idea of home has never been about a birthplace. Okay so I wasn’t actually voted that, but I never felt like Philadelphia fit. Odd to say, considering it’s where I was born and spent the first 18 years of my life. Went away to college and loved Chicago, but that never felt like home either. The feeling of home, truly solid feeling of it, didn’t land for me until later. What does that have to do with the title of this week’s episode? It was after an encounter with a Beaver - Buc-ee to be precise - that my trip took a (literal) turn that brought up substantive fear, replaced by the kind of deep knowing-ness of what home means and how it feels. So Buc-kle up…

What does leadership actually mean in today’s world? Good questions, right? That’s what Cathy Brooks, thought. And it’s why she created Talk, Unleashed – a new podcast of entirely candid conversations with fascinating people doing remarkable things. This weekly podcast features guests from arts and entertainment to business to technology to food to activism to politics (well, we’ll see on that last one). Talk Unleashed invites these influencers to consider the things that have led to them to where they are, the lessons they’ve learned and how all those things can come together to create a better world. This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy helps clients unearth and untether their own internal leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages. Recently Cathy joined Paris-based start-up OpenBubble as Co-Founder and Chief Communications Officer. OpenBubble’s mission is to break through issues of isolation and separation in society by creating a powerful way for people to connect and talk – with no agenda.
