Doing The Evolution (GWTW872)

Getting Work To Work ·

2026/01/02

2026 is upon us and it’s not just a new year thrusting us toward change, it’s everything: society, culture, technology, relationships, work, life—it’s all dynamic, frenetic. Some of us start the year clutching our resolutions tightly, convinced that this is the year we actually live up to them. Others rely on the thesaurus to shift the psychological burden from resolution to something else, anything else, in order to trick our brains into actually accomplishing the things that

“W.W.G.D.” with gough (GWTW870)

2025/12/19

Have you ever wondered what gough would do? I do, too. Fresh from his birthday celebration, gough is back on Getting Work To Work, again, to talk about his year-ending projects: a short documentary about a blind man traveling to see the greatest rock band in the world, an audio drama about the seedy underbelly of the podcasting world—sounds about right—and the Beernuts Productions podcast. We talk seriously about the reality of discrimination against people with disabilities, why gough uses silly

“Let’s Talk About It” with Chanda Coston (GWTW869)

2025/12/13

Sprinkled throughout today’s conversation is a phrase I absolutely love. No matter the situation or the statement, the response is simple, “Let’s talk about it.” Chanda Coston is a Navy Veteran, PMP, and Business Strategist who helps purpose-driven entrepreneurs—especially women over 40—turn chaos into clarity and grow businesses that make sense (and money). In our time together, we talk about the need for clarity, the importance in telling our stories, and having people in

Turn Off Your Autopilot (GWTW868)

Getting Work To Work ·

2025/12/06

I’ve been slowly waking up to the reality that I’ve been running my business and living my life on autopilot for far too long. It’s been six years since I really felt like I was in control and not operating by the whims of others and the seat of my pants. But here I am, staring at 2026 off in the distance, ready to shake the sleep from my eyes and do something completely different. In this episode, I’m going to share why I’m ready to shake things up, how I’m

“The Intriguing Nature of People” with Izzy Poirier...

Getting Work To Work ·

2025/11/28

I always enjoy meeting people who think deeply about the work they do, but also have a lot of fun doing it. Izzy Poirier is a designer, brand strategist, zine publisher, and community builder. From her earliest years, she’s been intrigued with the nature of people, their stories and identities, and making sure that they have a place to belong. In our conversation, we talk about the intersection of design, brand strategy, community building with the Ottawa Design Club, craft, and the art of

Human Hamster Wheel (GWTW866)

Getting Work To Work ·

2025/11/21

Even if you've never had a hamster for a pet, you've witnessed the spectacle of them running in a hamster wheel. They step inside a giant wheel in the center of their captivity and run, and run, and run. It's so adorable when they do it. But what if I could tell you we have human hamster wheels, in the center of our captivity, and we run, and run, and run? They aren't literal wheels, but they serve the same purpose: keep us distracted from the reality that we aren't where we want to be, not doing

Is Your Business Killing You? (GWTW865)

Getting Work To Work ·

2025/11/07

You might look at today's title and think I'm trying to be humorous or sensational or clickbait-y, but I'm absolutely serious. It's such an important question that it demands me to say it aloud right now: Is your business killing you? When you first start your business, you don't think about the ways it overtakes your life, you let it gladly, because that's the price you pay for building something that statistically could end in five years or less. But then, over time, you just keep letting it

“Tales of Tricks & Treats” with gough (GWTW864)

2025/10/31

It's that time of year again, when pumpkin spice invades your latte, kids dress up like their favorite heroes, villains, nightmares, and corporate superstars hoping for a bag full of candy, and gough, your favorite Australian filmmaker, shows up on Getting Work To Work to talk about his latest film, Trick Or Treat. Armed with the biggest budget in the history of BeernutsProductions.com, a stable of actors dishing out sketches and monologues, 27 costumes, and nature balls, gough's latest film pulls

The Building Blocks of the Soul (GWTW863)

Getting Work To Work ·

2025/10/30

Weaving through the design, data, stories, and statuses on social media, I witnessed the human need to be seen; the longing to be discovered. I like this word, "longing." I recently came across a book by Sue Monk Kidd called, Writing Creativity and Soul and she writes a lot about longing as a creative, a writer, woman, and a mother. What a word to sit and reflect upon: Longing. Merriam-Webster defines longing as "a strong desire especially for something unattainable." In this episode, I explore the

2025/10/27

How far am I willing to go? How much work am I willing to do? Two powerful questions today's guest asked herself at the start of her writing journey as she considered what it meant to be a writer. Barbara DeMarco-Barrett is a writer, podcaster, teacher, and publisher on the show to talk about writing, podcasting, and her latest book, Pool Fishing, a collection of stories connected by place and featuring characters who live on the fringes of society. In our conversation she shares insights into the

You’re Right On Time (GWTW861)

Getting Work To Work ·

2025/10/23

I've heard this phrase way too often in the past 25 years: "If you're ignoring [enter the trending or disrupting technology], then you're already behind." While the phrase may be technically true, it does require a major assumption: equality. It assumes that every person has equal access to the technology, responds with openness and trust instead of skepticism and caution, and can actually see value through the veil of hype, fear, and propaganda. Those are big assumptions, but even bigger are the

“The Business of Creativity” with Josh Simons (GWTW860)

How do you push creative boundaries and embrace opportunities as they come? You solve problems and focus on the people around you. Today's guest on Getting Work To Work, Josh Simons, is no stranger to the creative business world. According to his bio, "he ran a record label, publishing function, film production company and was the lead singer of Australian indie rock band Buchanan."

Pickled Brains & Legacies (GWTW859)

Getting Work To Work ·

2025/10/16

"Can I pick your brain?" Of course, you absolutely can. But I've noticed a lot more professionals expressing disdain for people reaching out and wanting to ask a few questions. But before I dive into a rant based upon passing comments and not a lot of data, I'm going to speak about the type of creative industry I want to be part of, one that is built upon the sharing of knowledge, not just online but person to person. Why? Because that's how we build community, a reputation, and dare I say it, a

Their mission may be simple—"We Tell Makers' Stories"—but hidden in every photo, interaction, page, and podcast is an unquenchable fire to build a global community. Kate and Jack Lennie are the visionaries behind We Are Makers, an independent print publication and podcast featuring makers all over the world. In our conversation, we talk about the power of storytelling and what makes a compelling story. Kate and Jack also share why they choose to produce a magazine, the ever-evolving nature of their

Improving the Old-Fashioned Way (GWTW857)

Getting Work To Work ·

2025/10/08

How do you get better at your craft? Sounds like a potential start to a not so funny joke, but I'm serious: How do you get better at your craft? With skills that rely upon your hands and time—like woodworking or pottery or painting—you just have to do the work, go through the process, and see what comes out the other end. Is it good or is it crap? Probably. But in the digital world, it's a little bit different (or so we tell ourselves), because we can create or buy or borrow systems that indicate

There is often a moment in every interview on Getting Work To Work that stops me in my tracks. In today's interview with Kimberly Lau and Linda Young, they dropped the mic twice with these two mind-blowing moments: "We have enough clothing on the planet to clothe the next six generations" and "Since we opened nine months ago, we have saved 2,500 pounds in textile waste from the landfill." In our conversation, they share the mission and purpose behind Project ReWear, a resale business that goes

Communication in Chaos (GWTW855)

2025/10/01

What did Arthur C. Clarke have to say in 1968 about communication in the distant future? Buried in the middle of a single page in 2001: A Space Odyssey, on a trip to the moon, is an interesting description of Clarke's imagined future and our realized present. It's always uncanny when science fiction gets something right, but that's not why I'm bringing this up. Instead, I'm more curious with this question: What can we learn from it? Yes, our communication is in chaos. It's like we're all standing

“Our AI Present & Future” with Ben Tasker (GWTW854)

2025/09/30

As much as I love imagining dystopian and doomsday scenarios of AI overtaking humanity, talking with experts about positive implementation strategies is a better use of my time (and mental health). Building upon an education in Data Science and Analytics and AI ethics, Ben Tasker currently "leads a Data & AI Academy that upskills and reskills more than 36,000 employees in the public utility sector, preparing them to be AI-ready and future-ready." In our conversation, he brings stories of real world

You Gotta Do the Work (GWTW853)

Getting Work To Work ·

2025/09/25

I love this framing of the duality of our work: the art—the stuff we're supposed to do—and everything else. It gets me thinking of the backwards nature of modern life, where the label of "what we're supposed to do" is affixed to everything but our art. Things like admin, networking, content creation, marketing, management. All important things, but would they be necessary (or even possible) if we didn't have the art and continually challenge ourselves to make the art better?
