The Mosaic Podcast

i was amazed at how much we shared in common and how in one conversation we could go so deep.  this was one of the few conversations i have had where we both held the space for the other to be loved and accepted, listened to and heard and acknowledged and validated.  it is what she does in the work she does too.

The Mosaic Podcast

in a time where so often people are not kind to each other, this conversation is even more important now than ever before. inherent in each of us is a desire to be kind to one another and to help those who are in need. witness the way we are in times of adversity, where both sides of an issue comes together to helps get through that moment, it is this kindness that Leigh wants to initiate in us and remind us of all the time.

The Mosaic Podcast

this is one of those pivotal conversations that you just have to listen to.  it was unique not only in the conversation we had but in the application of how to introduce love into the business arena. watch how he brings that culture of love in in a way that corporate people can understand and thens peaks of what happens when your team says, “i love working here.” and your clients say, “ i love what these people do."

Ep 096 Reinventing The Planet with David Gershon show art Ep 096 Reinventing The Planet with David Gershon

The Mosaic Podcast

this is a conversation that you have to listen to.  it is unique not only in what we spoke of but in the ability and flexibility of David, a brilliant man, to be kind and generous enough to change direction midstream with me and move away from what most if not everyone wants him to share, to answer my quirky questions and to challenge his own edges.

Ep 095 It’s Ok To Be Human with Andrea Garfield show art Ep 095 It’s Ok To Be Human with Andrea Garfield

The Mosaic Podcast

i found our conversation to be easy, like sitting on the front porch in a comfortable chair sipping a lemonade.  there was something very clean and wholesome about it. we spoke about feeling feelings, how we learn to be separate, the gift of children, and more.. i could tell you all about it, but that would rob you of the opportnity to experience this conversation for yourself from your own point of view and feel what you feel from it.

Ep 093 Catching The Moment We Become Who We Are with Trina Bardusco show art Ep 093 Catching The Moment We Become Who We Are with Trina Bardusco

The Mosaic Podcast

i have always felt the essence of The Mosaic, was listening to people no one listens to. i watch them transform from who i thought they were to who they are. this happens in my seeing something i never saw in them before, AND . . .

Ep 092 When Curiosity Meets Listening with Martin Lopez show art Ep 092 When Curiosity Meets Listening with Martin Lopez

The Mosaic Podcast

i must say, this was one of the most interesting podcasts that i have ever done, because in the middleman our conversation, Martin stepped back to analyse what he was thinking and feeling from a curiosity perspective and then i did the same thing from a place of holding space and listening.

Ep 091 When Fiction Becomes Reality - Sugar Mountain with Alfred Alcorn show art Ep 091 When Fiction Becomes Reality - Sugar Mountain with Alfred Alcorn

The Mosaic Podcast

Sometimes in the world of fiction and science fiction, a writer writes a story only to find years later, what the writer saw happen, actually happens. Alfred Alcorn is not a prophet, a psychic or a doomsayer, he is just a brilliant author who has seen enough of the world to tell stories of a world that could be.

i don’t even know how Nick came across my awareness, but the minute I heard about what he was doing, something ignited in me. you see, i had been planning to take a trip around the world to sit with people who did not feel heard and listen to them. i wanted to hear what people would say if someone cared enough to listen to them. i wanted to sit on street corners, government offices, homeless shelters, placesI of worship, bookstores, cafes and truck stops. I wanted to visit strangers in hospitals and talk with CEO’s and entrepreneurs, sit with families and children in schools, i wanted to sit with the homeless and with people who had beautiful homes and ask them some questions and just listen to their answers.

but i was scared. my body had gotten older and it was carrying a lot of pain and i was no longer that 18 year old kid who hitchiked around the world’s was now a 65 year old man who was a whole lot less spontaneous than i wanted to admit i was and was looking for companies to sponsor my trip. i was looking for a car company to sponsor my vehicle and a hotel company to let me stay overnight in rooms that were not booked, or a train company that would be willing to let me ride across the country and speak with people on the trains. all great ideas, but what i realized is they were covering up my fear of getting out there and doing it.

so i made a decision, i would leave march 1,2020 no matter what.  in judaism they have a great saying, "Man plans and God laughs”.  weeks beforemy departure date, Coved -19 entered our collective lives and no one was going anywhere.

so when i heard about nick and hs mission to have 500 lunches with 500 strangers, i had to have him on the show and i had to do what he was doing. and thus i started 50 conversations with 50 strangers (o listen to those conversations, please go to my YouTube channel: to subscribe to my YouTube channel, please go here:
