Thank You and Farewell

When I started the Culture and Leadership Connections Podcast, I felt called to bring diverse voices from different industries and professionals around the world to the world so we could all benefit from their experiences and wisdom. Today as I take the microphone for the last time, I thought listeners might want to know a few of our stats and milestones. 

Over the past 7 years, we have published 154 episodes featuring 132 interviews, and 22 solo episodes. That's 1,540 hours of work and 133,672 words in show note blogs, at a cost of $800-$1000 per month.

I have loved interviewing our podcast guests, many of whom told me their interview experience was “cathartic” and “helped them understand themselves and their work journeys more clearly” or was “a more personal and insightful experience than any other podcast interview they had experienced.”

In response I will say that I am proud to have brought so many beautiful and unique stories to the internet sound waves. These interviews are a legacy and will continue to be available on our website and on all podcast directories. 

It was also a joy to create the solo episodes although they involved lots more soul searching and research than I expected. It made me realize how much courage it takes for solo podcast hosts to put themselves out in public and increased my admiration for my colleague’s work!

These 154 episodes were created by me, Mike Kurlander who was our amazing audio engineer, the wonderful Malvika Kathpal and Bea Mugure on the show notes and our outstanding Berna Guadiz who created all the images, website uploads and social media images.

I would like to leave you with two recent testimonials:

The way she seamlessly connects broader subjects to workplace dynamics is both enlightening and practical. This podcast has given me a new appreciation for the cultural influences that shape leadership and communication within diverse professional environments.

In closing, Culture and Leadership Connections has been a labour of love, and I certainly hope the many stories and insights will bring intangible benefits to thousands of listeners for years to come.
