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."

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.

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.

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.

Somewhere in the back of my mind, i have the idea that the book i wrote, The Mosaic would always be turned into a movie or a Netflix series or something like that and from time to time life brings to me people who are really talented in filmmaking, directing and producing films.

i have also always felt that the essence of The Mosaic, the idea of listening to people no one listens to, and watching them righting front of my eyes transform from who i thought they were to who they are.  for the most part, this happens in my seeing something that i never saw in them before, AND . . . 

occasionally it happens through the practice of holding space.  when a person feels safe enough to be themselves, all that they are not falls away, leaving only who they are to be seen.

both ways involve this practice of compassionate listening and both processes are exquisite to watch.

Trina Bardusco is an American-Venezuelan who is passionate about innovative storytelling, championing multiculturalism, diversity and content for women. She has written, directed, produced and or co-hosted a total of nine web series and for-and-about women in both English and Spanish.

you can easily see why i was so eager to speak with her.

She also co-pioneered HBO Latino’s original, award winning series, Habla, that for over a decade has given a platform to Latinos living in the U.S. Latinos from all walks of life, including dozens of celebrities, share their personal stories.

Her latest project, Going Solo, is a documentary series with a distinctly feminine take on the impulse to travel. Blending bold storytelling, far-flung locals, and spirited exploration, we follow Trina as she takes a walk—or twirl, or ride—in another’s shoes, seeking passion and excitement in each unique form of cultural expression. 

need i say more, but there is more . . .

Trina began her career as a Fulbright Scholar of ethnomusicology in Spain in 1999 for her project, “Flamenco’s Duende and Deep Song.” She soon traded the library for one of the first, readily available DV digital cameras, and started documenting gypsy flamenco singer, Luis Agujeta. This lead to her debut documentary, I’m the Tourist,  where she first began experimenting with immersing herself in a way of life markedly different from her own.

what was fabulous to watch in this interview was that moment when we could feel who trina was actually came front an center.  thesis not to say that before na after that moment trina was not real and authentic and beautiful, but if you watch, i thin you will see, there is a moment she something changes.

those moments are what i live for. i hope you will enjoy watching this episode and that it will encourage you to usher in that moment for yourself when you become you.
