Who’s still recording podcast episodes in the closet? That used to be the thing. No video, no fancy studio. Just a mic and a dream. Then COViD happened and everything changed. Six years later. Over 180 episodes and so many conversations with leaders, changemakers, and everyday people trying to make work a better place. When I first started the Lead with Levity podcast, I honestly didn’t know if anyone would listen. I just knew the world needed more laughter and more real talk about leadership. And in the beginning, I was shocked to realize - real people in my own city were tuning in. I’ll never forget when I was hiring for a position, interviewing a candidate, and they said, ‘I looked you up… I’ve listened to your podcast.’ I thought, wow - this little experiment actually matters. If I could go back in time, I’d tell myself: this isn’t just a podcast. It’s planting seeds you can’t even see yet.” - Segment 1: Looking Back “A year into the show, I had another moment that changed everything. My CTO at the time told me after listening to an episode, ‘Levity is great, but it’s not everything.’ And she was right. Levity matters, but it’s just one piece of the puzzle.
