We started Someone To Tell It To in 2012, and all along, our philosophy has been to listen. Because our mission is to "cultivate meaningful connections through compassionate listening and train others to do the same," we thought it might be best to highlight both aspects—listening and training—in a podcast. Both listening and training continue to catalyze this global listening movement where Someone's voice is being heard, Someone is being reminded that they matter, and Someone doesn't need to feel alone in whatever they are facing in life.We are so excited to share these rich conversations with you. Please subscribe to hear each new episode as soon as it's released!

Don’t Be a Bystander, Be an Upstander
Today marks the start of the fifth season of the Someone To Tell It To Podcast. We believe that to help the world to listen requires putting consistent, constant content about listening and its tremendous transformative power out into the world. Inviting guests locally, nationally, and globally to join in conversations with us about the vital roles that listening plays in our everyday lives can help to inspire, educate, and change all of our lives in positive ways.
Today's guest is one you don’t want to miss. Rabbi Ron Symons has been the senior director of Jewish Life, since July 2015, at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania, and also the founding director of the organization’s Center for Loving Kindness, since August 2017. In our conversation with Rabbi Ron, we discuss so many pressing matters happening around the world, but especially here in the United States like living wages, demoralizing rhetoric in public discourse, and especially gun violence. Rabbi Ron shares very poignantly about his experiences with an antisemitic terrorist attack in the form of a mass shooting, which took place at the Tree of Life Synagogue, in 2018 – in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
In the midst of tragedies such as this one, Rabbi Ron reminds us what it means to move from being a bystander to an upstander who ‘Loves your Neighbor as Yourself.’

Being Believed In
A proud and grateful participant in The Lebron James Family Foundation's “I Promise" program, created by the NBA superstar for students in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, our guest Austin Taylor Qualls talks with us about what he’s learned from life, from what he’s been given, and from being supported and nurtured by those who saw something special in him. Today he’s a successful entrepreneur. His spirit, his values, and his drive to live a life supporting, encouraging, and nurturing others—as he has been nurtured—is a testament to being believed in.

Quieting and Listening to Ourselves
Jane Adshead-Grant, of London, England, makes her second appearance on the podcast. She is an author and an award-winning accredited executive coach with over 30 years experience in people-focused roles. In this episode, we talk with her about her newest book, and focus especially on her challenge she presents to listen to ourselves. She makes the point that to be a great listener, we first need to know what it feels like to be listened to, truly listened to, free from interruption, judgment and distraction. Hers is a wise and insightful perspective.

Listening Provides Our Hope
Pennsylvania State Representative Patty Kim joins us in conversation about leadership and public service, at the start of Women’s History Month. Her leadership style has, at its core, a commitment to and belief in listening as a means to understand others’ perspectives and as a way to overcome differences and divisions. Her perspective is a refreshing antidote, one that provides hope and promise for finding common ground and meeting the needs of those she represents. We very much appreciated her philosophy and hope that you will too.
