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 weekly reminder to listen before you act - you're in the right place.

New season. Same curiosity. And a topic most of us have a complicated relationship with.
In the Season 2 premiere of Listening for the Questions, Dr. Patti Fletcher, Dan Ward, and Lynne Cuppernull take on New Year’s resolutions and immediately question whether we should be making them at all.

Building something new sounds exciting. Rebuilding something after it breaks sounds exhausting. And yet most of us are living in a world where both are happening all at once.

Dan brings his experience as an engineer and technologist and admits that even...
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 s...
What if the wisest questions aren’t asked in boardrooms or think-tanks — but in kindergarten classrooms, minivans, and sticky-fingered breakfast tables?
In this episode, Dr. Patti Fletcher, Dan Ward, and Lynne Cuppernull dive into one of the most delightfully disruptive prompts we’ve ever explored:
Why do kids ask the best questions — and why did so many of us stop?
From “Why is the sky blue?” to “Why don’t gr...
Why do some beliefs feel like bedrock while others crumble at the first nudge? In this episode of Listening for the Questions, Patti, Dan, and Lynne unpack why we cling to what we “know,” how power structures profit from our certainty, and what happens when curiosity finally cracks something open.
From “don’t wear white after Labor Day” to faith, identity, and technology’s role in reinforcing echo chambers, this episode invites you ...
What does the “best sandwich” reveal about how we make choices, give feedback, and connect with one another? In this deliciously curious episode of Listening for the Questions, hosts Dan Ward, Lynne Cuppernull, and Dr. Patti Fletcher unwrap the layers—literally and metaphorically—of one of humanity’s most universal meals: the sandwich.
From the Earl of Sandwich’s gaming table to your local deli, this conversation dives into why we l...
