    HUMAN 2 HUMAN: UNCORKED with AIDAN & TIM

    What happens when two hosts sit down, flip the mic back and forth, and refuse to keep the conversation safely inside the lines of sales, marketing, or leadership? This episode is the answer. Tim Windsor sits down with his friend Aidan Hennebry from the Amplifyr Podcast for a long, unfiltered, unscripted conversation that starts in business but quickly exposes the human machinery underneath it. This is a true cross-release, one conversation living in two ecosystems, where the host chair keeps changing, and the questions get sharper because of it. Tim and Aidan talk about entrepreneurship and security, sales and leadership, process and paradox, success and failure, accountability and agency, AI and imperfection, and the dangerous lie that professionalism requires polish instead of humanity. They dismantle the myth of straight lines, expose the cost of confusing failure with identity, and challenge the idea that certainty is either real or desirable. Somewhere along the way, cracked pots, experimentation, anti-fragility, responsibility, and the illusion of control all collide. If you’re tired of pretending your business problems aren’t human problems… If you’re suspicious of perfection and allergic to canned answers… If you’ve ever felt the tension between who you are and what you’re told success should look like… This conversation is for you. No safe conclusions. Just two people thinking out loud, challenging assumptions, owning evolution, and asking the kind of questions that don’t let you walk away unchanged. Welcome to Amplifyr. Welcome to Uncommodified. And welcome to a conversation that refuses to stay in its lane.

    BEYOND BREAKUP: UNCORKED with BILL KOONTZ

    What if the most painful ending of your life was actually the doorway to a deeper beginning? What if divorce were not proof that you are broken, disqualified, or beyond repair but an invitation to reclaim wholeness, dignity, and hope on the other side of profound loss?  In this deeply human and courageous UNCORKED conversation, Tim Windsor sits down with Bill Koontz to step straight into one of life’s most avoided and misunderstood experiences and to dismantle the lie that divorce is the end of the story. Together, they explore the ache, grief, anger, and shame that so often accompany divorce, while refusing to let those forces have the final word. Bill shares his own raw journey through divorce, false accusations, estrangement from his children, and years of rebuilding identity and trust. From that lived experience, he offers a grounded, compassionate framework for healing that goes far beyond mere survival. The conversation unpacks why divorce wounds so deeply through loss of companionship, intimacy, and identity and why denial, blame, shame, and untreated anger quietly keep people stuck. Tim and Bill also confront the hidden realities few talk about, including depression, suicidal thoughts, and the destructive power of shame, and they replace silence with honesty, grace, and practical wisdom. Listeners will walk away with clear, actionable insights, including a robust five-step process for breaking free from shame, reframing forgiveness as liberation rather than excusing harm, and a renewed sense that healing is possible even after devastating loss. This episode is not soft, sentimental, or abstract. It is real, hopeful, and deeply human. Whether you are navigating divorce yourself, walking alongside someone who is, or simply want to understand how people rebuild after life fractures, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and remind you that beyond the rubble, something wonderful can be built.

    WHAT JUICES ME: UNCORKED with TIM WINDSOR

    In this UNCORKED CONVERSATION, the mic flips, and Tim Windsor steps out from behind the host chair and into the heat of an unfiltered conversation with longtime friend Kris MacQueen on his “What Juices You” Podcast. What unfolds is not a polished interview but a raw exploration of what actually fuels a life of impact. Tim unpacks the tension that animates his work and his life, authenticity and accountability, and why fake drains us faster than failure ever could. From childhood moments in grocery store aisles to hard truths shared between friends, this conversation exposes the forces that energize us or quietly empty our internal batteries.  Listeners will hear why leadership is not about motivation but conversion, converting tension into energy, converting honesty into action, converting generosity into momentum. Tim challenges the idea that intention alone is enough and argues that real leadership sends people home with more energy for their real lives, not less. The episode dives into provocative ideas like being stabbed in the front by people who care enough to tell the truth, generosity as a scalpel that opens possibilities, and why the stories we tell ourselves quietly decide the legacy we leave behind long after we are gone. This conversation offers more than insight; it offers a challenge. Pay attention to what actually juices you and what secretly exhausts you. Ask yourself where you are outsourcing responsibility for your own energy. Examine the story you are writing and whether it is one you would want retold two years after you are gone. And perhaps most confronting of all, consider whether the people who encounter you leave more alive or more depleted. This is not just an interview, it is an invitation to own your energy, your impact and your legacy in real time.

    when GENEROUS HEARTS COLLIDE: UNCORKED with HARMON PARKER

    When generous hearts collide, something electric happens. Something you can feel before you even understand it.  This episode uncorks that energy with Tim's long-time friend and bridge builder, Harmon Parker, the founder of Bridging the Gap Africa. It is an inspiring conversation about what generosity becomes when it stops being a solo act and turns into a collision of passion, purpose and courage. Harmon tells stories that shake you awake, from hippos reacting in a massive chain reaction to communities offering gifts that cut you right to the soul. This episode is not just about giving. It is about connection, calling and the kind of chemistry that only ignites when two or more generous hearts move toward the same purpose. Join the conversation and discover how Harmon and Suzanne Sullivan (Tim spoke with Suzanne on EP # 195 entitled “When GENEROSITY SEEMS HARD”) found each other again after years apart, and how their shared intention is multiplying bridges, impact, and hope across East Africa. You will hear about the unmistakable signs of a generous heart, the spark in someone’s eyes, the pull toward purpose, and the willingness to say yes long before they understand the cost.  The challenge: generous intention means nothing until it becomes generous action. It can be a slingshot-sized action; one small stone, one simple yes. When that tiny spark collides with another, a movement begins. The world changes. Not someday. Today.

    It’s time to FLOURISH: UNCORKED with SUZANNE TAYLOR-KING

    In this raw, spirited, and profoundly human conversation, Tim Windsor and Suzanne Taylor-King crack open the truth about flourishing in a world obsessed with appearing successful rather than becoming whole.    Suzanne takes us on a journey through eudaimonology, Stoic philosophy, positive psychology, entrepreneurship, inner demons, inner “diamons,” and the audacity required to grow. The episode pulls no punches, provoking listeners to confront their distractions, their self-deception, and their fear of owning both their brilliance and their limitations. Together, Tim and Suzanne explore why flourishing is not about chasing happiness, polishing perfection, or pretending you have it all figured out. It is about radical self-honesty, embracing the flaws we hide, and admitting what we are and are not meant to do.   Listeners will walk away with a powerful reminder: the path to flourishing begins by turning inward long before you try to succeed outwardly. Suzanne’s story of wrestling with imposter syndrome, owning her strengths and weaknesses, and expressing her creativity unapologetically, including through her wildly clever persona, Evelyn, becomes a living demonstration of her philosophy. She challenges us to drop the armour, stop performing, and build a life and business that emerges from authenticity, not expectation.    Tim pushes the conversation further, provoking listeners to confront the parts of themselves they have caged, silenced, or sanitized for the world’s approval.   This episode not only inspires, but it also provokes. It asks listeners to examine the voices inside them, to question the “oughts” and “shoulds” that still shape their choices, and to dare to bloom rather than blend in. The challenge is clear: step into the work of becoming the truest version of yourself, because flourishing is not accidental; it is intentional, courageous, and often uncomfortable. Yet it is the most important work any of us will ever do.   Tim Windsor the UNCOMMODiFiED Podcast – Host & Guide tim@uncommodified.com https://uncommodified.com/    PRODUCERS: Alyne Gagne & Kris MacQueen  MUSIC BY: https://themacqueens.ca/

    Don’t just Outlast. UPLIFT: UNCORKED with SEAN FROST

    What if the life you're building isn’t meant to be a straight line, but a score, composed piece by piece, passion by passion, risk by risk?  In this UNCORKED conversation, Tim Windsor sits down with the unmistakably real and refreshingly honest Sean Frost, a man who refuses to live a single-note existence. Home builder. Real estate broker. Music producer. Talent manager. Community contributor. Husband. Father. Legacy-maker. Sean isn’t chasing the hustle; he’s challenging the entire idea of it, and he’ll provoke you to rethink what you’re chasing, why you’re chasing it, and what it’s costing you along the way. This episode uncorks a journey that starts with humble beginnings, morphs into unexpected opportunities, and explodes into a multi-hyphen life rooted in passion, purpose, and love. Sean talks openly about anxiety, depression, joy, creative hunger, the grind behind “success,” and the surprising truth that even the most accomplished people walk into rooms feeling uncertain and figuring out where they fit. You’ll hear how music shaped him, how real estate saved him, how family fuels him, and how legacy has become his driving force, not as an abstract idea of tomorrow, but as a lived commitment to uplift others today. And here's the provocation: where in your life are you talking yourself out of the very thing that could fulfil you? Where are you choosing safety when conviction is calling? Sean challenges all of us, including Tim, to stop romanticizing the hustle and start activating the life we want.  Listening to this episode won’t just inspire you; it’ll unsettle you in the best possible way. It’ll push you to pick up the pen, the hammer, the instrument, the idea—whatever your “thing” is—and begin composing the song your life was meant to sound like.   Tim Windsor the UNCOMMODiFiED Podcast – Host & Guide tim@uncommodified.com https://uncommodified.com/    PRODUCERS: Alyne Gagne & Kris MacQueen  MUSIC BY: https://themacqueens.ca/

    GUIDES in DISGUISE: UNCORKED with LENORE WALKER

    What if the answers you’ve been chasing aren’t hiding in more hustle, more data, or another “proven framework” — but in the shadows, symbols, and stories you’ve been trained to dismiss?  In this UNCORKED conversation, Tim Windsor muses with Jungian-rooted psychotherapist (and long-time friend) Lenore Walker as they wander into “the third way”, a mysterious and elegant alternative to our usual binary, fix-it-fast approach to life’s messes and clusterfucks. Instead of reaching for the obvious solutions, Lenore invites you into a realm shaped by myth, fairy tale, intuition, dreams, and the kind of waiting that enlarges you, rather than enslaves you. Together, Tim and Lenore explore why our culture worships intellect, speed, and certainty, and how that devotion quietly starves our instinct, emotion, and imagination. They unpack the Indigenous wisdom about not rushing purpose, the power of dreams (including nightmares) as messengers, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes the thing you’re trying to slay is your ally in disguise. Along the way, they weave in wisdom from sacred texts, The Lord of the Rings, Wicked, and the “treasures of the darkness,” challenging you to consider that the most uncommodified, honest path forward might be the one you can’t yet explain, control, or justify on a spreadsheet. Listeners who lean in will discover why obvious options often keep us stuck; they’ll see waiting in an entirely new light, not as weakness, but as the doorway to intuition and genuine wisdom. They’ll reclaim the imaginative, instinctive parts of themselves that modern life suppresses and re-evaluate their perceived flaws or “enemies” as possible guides in disguise.  Tim Windsor the UNCOMMODiFiED Podcast – Host & Guide tim@uncommodified.com https://uncommodified.com/    PRODUCERS: Alyne Gagne & Kris MacQueen  MUSIC BY: https://themacqueens.ca/
