Podcasts about walk talk

In this week's Walk Talk, Micah Herbster sits down with Michael McIntyre to explore the ninth stanza of Psalm 119—and the surprising goodness of God in His correction. While the psalmist celebrates God's “good dealings,” “good discernment,” and “good doings,” this conversation lingers where the text itself leads: on the goodness of God in the discipline of His own.Like lost sheep who need the shepherd's staff, we often need the Lord's prodding, redirecting, and even painful correction. Psalm 119:65–68 shows that affliction itself can be a mercy—God's best work to bring wandering hearts back to His Word. Together Micah and Michael trace the repeated theme of God's goodness and remind us that in a season of thanksgiving, we praise not only the gifts God gives, but the God who gives Himself through His wise, purposeful discipline.If God is good—and He is—then everything He uses to shape His children is good too. Join us for a conversation that encourages humble gratitude, renewed trust, and a fresh confidence in the Shepherd who lovingly brings His people home.

In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, host Maurice Bloem speaks with Åsa Jarskog, a key leader in the global Inner Development Goals (IDG) movement. Åsa has spent more than 35 years working in leadership, strategy, and sustainability across 67 countries — coaching executive teams, governments, development banks, and global organizations including IKEA, Ericsson, Lufthansa, Vodaphone, and the World Economic Forum.   Åsa reflects on why inner development is not a concept — it's a practice. She shares personal stories from her early life in northern Sweden, where cross-country skiing taught her the mindset of steady effort and inner resilience, a theme that now guides her work in human flourishing and transformational leadership. When asked about the song that represents her, Åsa laughs and says that while “I Will Survive” reflects resilience, the song that truly embodies her journey is “My Way.” Because for her, leadership is not about perfection. It's about presence, authenticity, and showing up — again and again.   Listener Engagement: Discover the song picked by Åsa and other guests on our #walktalklisten here.

In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, Hira Aftab — founder of Our World Too, a platform dedicated to re-humanizing narratives around refugees and displaced communities, and co-founder of The Hybrid Tours, a social enterprise blending travel and social impact, is our guest.   Hira reflects on her journey as a “third-culture kid” growing up between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the UK, and how her lived experiences shaped her commitment to dignity-centered communications. She talks about pushing back against expectations, carving her own path outside the family tradition of medicine, and why her chosen song speaks to her:   “…that speaks to me, because I feel … going against the norm, doing what I did, and how I did it.”   With two master's degrees and her engagement as an ACWAY Fellow, Hira brings clarity, courage, and compassion to every space she enters — from storytelling to peacebuilding.   Listener Engagement: Discover the song picked by Hira and other guests on our #walktalklisten here.

In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, host Maurice Bloem speaks with Sarah Rehman, Membership and Administrative Specialist for the Network for Religious and Traditional Peacemakers. Holding four master's degrees — in Conflict Analysis and Resolution, Mediterranean Security, Theology, and Women's and Gender Studies — Sarah combines intellectual depth with the compassion of a peacebuilder who has seen both struggle and hope up close.   Sarah reflects on her journey across disciplines, cultures, and faith traditions, speaking about love, resilience, and what sustains her in difficult times. As she puts it:   “Resilience. It's the overcoming incredible odds, but still finding joy.”   She also reminds us that “the basis of every religion is love, and what people do with it after that is a reflection on them, not on faith.”   Together, Maurice and Sarah explore how this understanding shapes her work in preventing violent extremism, empowering women and youth, and keeping hope alive in the face of adversity.   Listener Engagement: Discover the song picked by Sarah and other guests on our #walktalklisten here.

In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, host Maurice Bloem talks with Fadi Daou, Executive Director of Globethics and one of today's most thoughtful voices on ethics, spirituality, and leadership.   Fadi shares his journey from leading the Adyan Foundation to his current work promoting ethical governance and human fraternity. He speaks about what it means to act from conviction rather than ambition, and how quitting—when done in integrity—can become a step toward renewal, not retreat.   Through stories of dialogue, discernment, and moral courage, Fadi invites us to rediscover the courage to hope: a hope that resists cynicism, rebuilds trust, and reminds us of our shared humanity.   Listener Engagement: Discover the song picked by Fadi and other guests on our #walktalklisten here.

Today welcomes a very special episode. If you've seen my latest posts on Instagram, you'll be familiar with my recent experience at the Audrain Concours in Newport, Rhode Island. Title sponsor A. Lange & Söhne was incredibly hospitable to invite me as a guest of their for the weekend, and I must say, I had an absolute blast. Friday, during the welcome lawn party known as The Gathering, I had the pleasure of walking around with Lange's CEO, Wilhelm Schmid, to chat about the cars, why Lange has chosen these types of events to sponsor, and of course the weekend's release: two Saxonia Thin models. This is a much shorter discussion than normal, though it was an absolute treat, and I kindly ask you please forgive the background noise, which was somewhat unavoidable. This interview will also be slightly more extensive on YouTube should you care to watch it instead, however, I wanted to also offer it as something special here as a podcast. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy my walk and talk with Wilhelm Schmid.

In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, I speak with Drew Tucker, vibraphonist, educator, and Director of the Jazz Road program at South Arts. Known for his wit, creativity, and signature reminder that “It's not a xylophone,” Drew has spent his career reshaping how people listen — not only to instruments, but to one another.   Drew shares stories of his early musical influences, his lifelong love of rhythm, and the turning points that led him from performer to cultural leader. The conversation explores the power of mentorship, the role of the arts in building community, and what it means to create spaces where young musicians can thrive.   Together, Maurice and Drew reflect on sound as a language of empathy and curiosity — and how, in the right hands, a vibraphone can become an instrument of connection, creativity, and change.

Rhythm is more than a fundamental feature of music. It's what makes us human. Rhythm begins in the womb and the heartbeat. And neuroscience research reveals that for the rest of our lives, rhythm will continue to have a core impact on our innermost selves: how we learn to walk, read and even bond with others. Rhythm — as one researcher puts it — is life. *This episode originally aired on April 30, 2020.

Join Will and his friend Pierre for a walking-and-talking podcast recorded against the stunning backdrop of some Renosterveld in Cape Town. In this free-flowing conversation, they explore creativity, strategy, and the value of embracing your uniqueness in a world increasingly dominated by AI. Pierre shares his journey of compiling four years of daily letters into a book, his philosophy of “tracking desire” to guide the creative process, and why weirdness is often the most powerful business differentiator.They discuss the pitfalls of competing solely on price, speed, or quality, and why identity and differentiation matter more than ever. Along the way, the two friends reflect on parenting, the fleeting nature of time with children, and the importance of taking ownership of your own agency. From productivity systems using Apple Notes to the benefits of cold plunges and winter hiking crews, this episode blends business insights with personal reflections topped off with a few unexpected ostrich sightings.Speaker Notes: 1. Opening & Setting the Scene (00:00 – 02:10)​ Greeting listeners; casual “walking and talking” intro.​ Location: Renosterveld with panoramic views towards Stellenbosch. Multi-tasking mindset: walking + podcast + errands.2. Pierre's Current Project (02:11 – 04:30)​ Compiling daily letters from 2020–2024 into a 365-entry book.​ Project is more editing and aligning than creating from scratch.​ Letters span pre-COVID, COVID, and post-COVID years. 3. Pierre's Creative Process (04:31 – 07:10)​ Start with the desired future state; “tracking desire” like tracking an animal.​ Use emotion and gut instinct as creative compass.​ Embrace randomness and weirdness as creative fuel. 4. Three Ways to Win in Business (07:11 – 11:45)​ First: Rare and risky, but massively rewarding.​ Best: Often vague, can lead to “cheaper, faster, nicer” race to the bottom.​ Different: The most sustainable advantage; uniqueness removes direct competition.​ Link to “Category of One” concept. 5. AI & Human Uniqueness (11:46 – 14:30)​ AI will be faster and smarter but will never be “you.”​ Your wiring, experiences, and quirks are irreplaceable.​ Quote: “The only way to beat the agents is to use your agency.” 6. Parenting & Time Perspective (14:31 – 16:05)​ Shocking stat: By age 17, you've spent 90% of the time you'll have with your kids.​ Encourages being present and intentional with time. 7. Pierre's Background (16:06 – 18:40)​ Self-described “philosopher disguised as a strategist.”​ Focus: helping businesses and individuals find their differentiator.​ Meeting Will at Alchemy on the day Pierre was retrenched. 8. Systems for Capturing Ideas (18:41 – 22:30)​ Apple Notes with structured folders and smart tagging.​ Siri + Reminders to capture on-the-go ideas.​ Always-on capture to avoid losing sparks of inspiration. 9. Value Creation vs. Noise (22:31 – 24:00)​ Importance of delivering real value over social media posturing.​ Sermons, talks, and deadlines as productive cadence. 10. Cold Showers, Hiking, and Seasonal Crews (24:01 – 26:15)​ Will's weekly Lion's Head hikes: summer selfie crowd vs. winter hardcore crew.​ Pierre's Clifton cold plunge tradition. 11. Closing Thoughts (26:16 – End)​ Biggest takeaway: Don't fear your own agency.​ Make decisions and take responsibility before others (brands, AI, governments) do it for you.​ Wrap-up: coffee plans, shared photos of the walk and where to find more from both hosts.Will https://www.linkedin.com/in/willgreen/Pierre https://www.linkedin.com/in/pierredup/Pierre's Daily Letters: https://thisispierre.co/

With over 15 years of experience across INGOs, UN agencies, governments, corporates, and the World Economic Forum, Catherine brings a unique lens to what it takes to build meaningful partnerships.
