    Building for Change

    Building for Change

    When something goes wrong, how quickly do you search for "tools" or a "blueprint" to fix it? Today, we explore how seeking to merely fix what's broken isn't enough - we must figure out what we're trying to build and why. This episode also happily introduces my colleague, Ari Kaplan, who will occasionally join in on TMWTS.

Great listening to great conversation

This podcast features practitioners and thinkers from an array of professions-education, corporate leadership, religion, marketing, entertainment-some you likely know, some you likely don’t, all of whom are interesting to hear in this informal context, regardless of your own profession. There’s much to learn, and understanding to gain, without being a TED-like presentation (even though I can see each guest at a TED). Kugler easily slides between friendly banter and questions that draw out his guest. You’ll be interested in topics and people you never thought you would have been.

Great guests but drew talks too much

Hard to get to the good stuff because of Drew’s babbling on and on

KMG! ,

Drew Kugler has gotten some true heavyweights to appear with him on his podcast. He's able to establish a real conversational intimacy with his guests, and that's led to some really fascinating and entertaining conversations. More, please!...
