Listening for the Questions Podcast - Big ideas. Bold questions. Smart AF conversations.
We don’t have the answers. But we’re darn good at listening for the right questions.
Let’s be real: Does the world really need ANOTHER podcast?
Well, we're making one anyway, because most conversations skip the questions that really matter.
Most podcasts give you answers. We give you better questions. Questions that make you rethink the future of AI, burnout, culture, and connection. And yeah - some fun detours into sandwiches and magicians. Because life is too short to only ask "strategic" questions.
This podcast is for curious leaders, thoughtful creators, and people who are done with surface-level conversations. If you are craving honest dialogue, fresh thinking, and a regular reminder to listen before you act - you're in the right place.
Listening for the Questions Podcast - Big ideas. Bold questions. Smart AF conversations.
What questions should we be asking when we talk about magic?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Magic is one of those topics everyone thinks they understand until someone asks a real question about it. In this episode, Patti, Dan, and Lynne step into the world of tricks, sleight of hand, wonder, and the deeper meaning of it all.
Dan adds a twist right from the start by revealing that he is not only an engineer and a technologist but also a magician who believes the best magic happens close up, in the moments when you are not sure what is real and what is not. That sets the stage for a conversation packed with curiosity and a surprising number of questions that have nothing to do with rabbits, hats, or sawing anyone in half.
Together we explore what magic actually is and why there is more to it than meets the eye. Why some people love it and some avoid it. What good magicians and bad magicians can teach us about leadership, creativity, timing, connection, and paying attention. We also look at what happens when we move past the tricks and start talking about transformation, invention, and the bold decision to imagine a third option when the world says there are only two.
Along the way we get into authentic human connection, wonder, belief, creativity, archetypes, sexism in magic, and the strange but very human desire to be surprised.
If you have ever wanted to peek behind the curtain, or if you are simply in the mood for a conversation that invites curiosity and possibility, this episode delivers.
Listen in and ask yourself a few magical questions.
Where might you find wonder this week. What mystery might you create. And who will you share it with.
Listening for the Questions is where curiosity is our compass.
