    The Embarrassment of Building Anything Meaningful

    Greater Stories is a podcast for those doing the hard work of building, doubting, and showing up anyway. Doesn't it feel like no one talks about how hard it is to build something? Successful founders and creators mention it in a memoir or an interview, but then quickly move on to the next win or success. David and I started this podcast because this is how we usually feel, and we needed a space to talk about how hard it can be to build something meaningful. If you've felt the tension of building and feeling like what's the point or why is everyone else winning but me, you're a builder and this podcast is for you. We hope you feel a little less alone listening to this episode as you continue to do work that is meaningful to you and others. All the music you hear in this podcast has been produced by The Futuristic Vintage

    2021 Year End Review

    We’re bringing you one more episode on the last day of 2021. We answer three questions about our year: What went well? What didn’t go well? And how can we improve in 2022? A lesson we’ve learned from this conversation is that it all matters. It’s easier to just reflect about work, productivity, and tools, but we realize how we show up as people affect everything we do.  Thank you all for listening and following along throughout the year. Please be safe as you celebrate tonight!

    How Weight Loss and Fitness Affects Identity

    On this episode of Upstream we talk about a shared thorn in our sides: our struggle with weight, weight loss, and health. We get into the meat and potatoes, if you will, of how being overweight and losing weight has affected our perspectives and identity. We unpack the origins of our relationships with food and weight and the tougher conversations we wished we had.

    What is Courageous Work?

    On this episode of Upstream, we bring into focus this lofty and vague term of “courageous work.” We realize it means being comfortable at the edge of what we know and who we are, and showing up everyday to move forward one inch at a time. We talk about what courageous work means in the work we do, and the way we live our lives.

    How to Remain Generous Amidst a Global Pandemic

    Welcome to the first episode of our podcast!  We've been recording since the beginning of the year, trying build to queue of episodes before we launched, but then the coronavirus pandemic happened. We recorded an episode a few weeks ago, right around the time when all the stay at home orders were coming in place, and it was such a helpful conversation for me. It was so helpful that we decided to launch the podcast with this episode instead of the ones we did before. We'll catch you up on all those episodes, about our story and how we got to where we are now, but we wanted you to hear this one and be encouraged as we go through this time together.  We talk about coming to terms with how much privilege we have, how we can steward that privilege, and doing creative work that is essential, rather than non-essential.
