"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 has in service of others.
Our guests bring humility, insights, gratitude, and humor as they delve deep into their experiences, learnings, and impact their "superhero power" has had when used successfully.
The path to purpose: Ordinary people, extraordinary talent, meaningful impact in the service of others.
By learning more about what inspired our guests to develop this extraordinary talent, how they think about their superhero power, and the impact it has on others as well as themselves, we gain inspiration and awareness of our superhero powers and our path to a more fulfilling life in the service of others.
At the heart of our conversations lies the fundamental notion that understanding the inspiration for one's superhero power is pivotal to unlocking a deeper understanding of purpose. In these episodes, we delve deep into what ignites this extraordinary talent within our guests, how they nurture it, and the remarkable ways it enriches the lives of others when employed in service of a greater good.
Whether you're a coach, mentor, educator, organization development practitioner, or simply someone navigating your own journey to finding your purpose and how you can create meaning for your life, this podcast aims to offer a wealth of wisdom to deepen your understanding and enhance your impact.
We steer clear of the notion of gimmicks or shortcuts, recognizing that the pursuit of purpose is a deeply personal and nuanced endeavor. By approaching each conversation with humility, vulnerability, and curiosity, we uncover the unique facets of our guests' superhero powers, how they developed and nurtured those talents, and the impact they have on themselves and others when used. In doing so, we hope to inspire others by witnessing how those stories resonate with our own journeys and experiences.
Expect to be inspired, challenged, and uplifted as our guests share their profound insights, peppered with humility, gratitude, and a generous dose of humor (be sure to check out the blooper highlights at the end). Through their anecdotes, reflections, and wisdom, we gain a deeper appreciation for the transformative potential of our superhero powers and the ripple effect they create in the lives of others.
Our purpose is to inspire you to explore the possibilities that lie within you, to ignite your potential, and chart a course towards a life of purpose, service, and meaningful fulfillment.
