About
"What Do
You Know To Be True?" is a podcast series with ordinary people about their
extraordinary talent, their superhero power, and the meaningful impact it has
on others.
Charting a
path to unlocking one's potential starts with a deeper understanding of one’s
superpower and how to make a meaningful impact in service of others.
In these
conversations, Roger Kastner seeks to discover more about our guests' path to
purpose and unlocking potential by exploring their journey from developing
their extraordinary talent to creating meaningful impact for others.
The goal of
these conversations is not to try to emulate it or “hack” our way to a new
talent. Instead, these conversations are to inspire you to think deeply about
how to create positive impact in service of others.
This podcast
is for Org Development practitioners, coaches, mentors, and anyone who works
with other people to unlock their challenges and achieve more. Our audience thinks
deeply about their work, the space they hold, and the positive impact it brings to others.
Our guests
bring humility, insights, gratitude, and humor as they delve deep into their
experiences and share their wisdom. They are ordinary people, with
extraordinary talent, who have made a meaningful impact.
Enjoy the conversations!
Host & Producer
In the summer of 2023, Roger Kastner had a series of amazing conversations with business owners, executive coaches, and talented OD practitioners while he was contemplating a career move. Roger found that each of these individuals, although possessing very different extraordinary talents, were all living a more fulfilled life through their discovery, development, and application of their superhero powers. A couple of them even said, "we should do a podcast."
To keep the great conversations going, Roger launched the podcast in September 2023 with the intention to go deeper into curiosity and create a container for the guests to share their experiences and wisdom with their extraordinary talents, so as Roger says, "we can learn more about the unique talents within each of us and achieve more of our potential."
What is your purpose?
Roger: "I believe I unlock my potential when I'm working with others to unlock their potential."
Why this podcast?
Roger: "I am curious about what creates more joy and meaning in life, so that I can find more joy and meaning in life. And along the way, I want to share that knowledge with others so they may experience more joy and meaning in their lives. And we are going to have some laughs along the way."
What is your superpower?
Roger: "I do a few things well. I'm good at taking complex situations and boiling them down into what matters for those involved. I create space for others to express themselves and amplify their stories. And I learn simple frameworks and feel compelled to share them with others."
How will you share what you learn from the conversations?
"I'm excited about the possibilities. I am already capturing the lessons learned from the episodes, and I'm building on some ideas about the levers for finding and increasing potential. More to come, for sure."
