What Do You Know To Be True?

What Do You Know To Be True?

"What Do You Know To Be True?" is a series of conversations with ordinary people about their extraordinary talent and the meaningful impact it has on others. The invitation is to be inspired to discover your superpower, unlock your potential and possibilities, and make meaningful impact in the world. The journey to unlocking one’s potential and possibilities includes a discovery and deepening of understanding of the building blocks of human potential: purpose, joy, hope, adaptability, well-bring, courage, and community. Our host, Roger Kastner, seeks to discover more about our guests' path to discover their superpower and unlocking their potential by exploring their journey and the insights and wisdom they learned along the way. The goal of these conversations is not to try to emulate it or “hack” our way to a new talent. Instead, these conversations are meant to help us think deeply about our own special talents, how we discovered them, why we continue to develop them, and what it’s like to use them to create meaningful impact in service of others. This podcast is for people leaders, coaches, org development practitioners, mentors, and anyone who works with other people in their pursuit of unlocking their potential and achieving more. Our guests bring humility, vulnerability, gratitude, and humor as they delve deep into their experiences and share their insights and wisdom. A common thread in these conversations is how our guest use empathy, curiosity, and connection to amplify the impact of their superpowers. They are ordinary people, with extraordinary talent, who make a meaningful impact in our world. Enjoy the conversations! #DiscoverYourSuperpower #UnlockYourPotential #MakeMeaningfulImpact
