I'm Listening
From conversations, to the natural world, to complete silence, so many of us focus on what's next rather than what is happening now. I'm Listening is a podcast that dissects the importance of listening.

So you think you’re funny, eh? Well good, because it helps people listen to you. Laughter or humor is scientifically proven to help people pay attention and listen closer. Brandt and Drew explore examples and tactics to help you get a laugh to help others listen. Now, if you aren’t funny or witty and what to learn how, then please practice... there is a tool in the link below. But be careful, things could go terribly ...
Over the past 100 years, very little has changed with the job interview. Very few businesses, companies, or organizations have been innovative in the way they assess an individual for hire with their ability to perform the duties, exceed expectations, work with others, surpass benchmarks, and reach annual goals. It's just the same process over and over and over again.
Although the methods may not have changed… or...
How often do we wish we would have captured the past? The stories from grandparents, parents, maybe even great grandparents. Or what about that neighbor you had for 20 years... what was their story? This episode of I'm Listening is your reminder to go capture those stories right now.
Brandt recently received a set of tapes from his brother who recorded stories 20 years ago and they are amazing. We visit some of t...
It's time for another Sprint Episode - this time I bring the topic of folklore to Brandt for his reaction. We explore our past... about sharing stories of the past.

Listening to folks stories is a centuries old practice that is extremely important to capture the culture of s...

Idioms. What's the big deal and why are they a part of our everyday language? It's likely to make sense of a situation or a concept. They are in fact, very useful. They are also way over used in certain settings, to the point of annoyance and even detriment. So what can we do about it?
In this episode, we discuss idioms, metaphors, jargon, similes. We dive right into... er, sorry, we begin this episode with ...
Welcome to our first "sprint" episode!
Whats is a sprint episode you ask? One of us does not know the topic prior to recording and we barely touch it post-record. Also, Brandt is annoying. Ok, that's a bit much... the sounds Brandt makes are sometimes really annoying and drive me crazy. The chewing, the knife and fork on the plate, the crunching of chips, etc. are just too much sometimes, especially whe...
We all want to feel heard. When it happens it feels good, solves problems, and productivity increases. However, when we don't, we feel angry, walk away, or even riot. In this episode, we dive into a 2023 study about feeling heard, the different components, and how do we use this information to get better at it.
Welcome to the Feeling Heard Scale (FHS). This is not about disagreement, thats ok (generally speaking)...
Eavesdropping. Eaves dropping. Dropping in under the eaves. Intentionally listening in on other peoples conversation.
Overhearing. Over hearing. Hearing over space. Accidentally hearing what other people are talking about.
Is one ok and one not? But what if it's your job? What if you were just trying to be nice? We explore it all as we kick off season 3!

The creation of the phone, aka the cell phone, was a really, really big deal. It allowed anyone to communicate from wherever, whenever they wanted. Listening to a friend or a family member was limitless for the first time ever. Yet today, the evolution of the phone has created a dramatic shift in listening. With all of the apps, games, and information, it can be a tremendous distraction. It has become a great barrier ...

Is the Emergency Department the most critical environment for listening? We say yes and discuss this question, and others, with an expert. Sandy, the Director of Outpatient Services, a Registered Nurse, and a 37-year career ED professional, explains why.
