What motivates people? Why do they do what they do? What does leadership actually mean in today’s world? Good questions, right? That’s what Cathy Brooks, thought. And it’s why she created Talk, Unleashed – a podcast of candid conversation. Sometimes as commentary. Sometimes as discussions with fascinating people doing remarkable things. Topics range widely and all of them have one thing in common. Dogs.
Buckle up buttercups. Something of a confession in this week’s episode - it’s about judgement. If I’m pointing fingers somewhere, there are a bunch pointing back. And still we love love love to do it. Truth is, though, the place to look is the mirror. Problem is, when you behave that way, it’s really bad for your dogs.
In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it’s time for radically authentic conversation. Conscious communication is simple, but often isn’t easy. That’s why Cathy Brooks created Talk, Unleashed (https://open.spotify.com/show/2qNiZ3qYls7F3vlUMZpwgH?si=89ef62844dc248f7) – a weekly podcast of radically honest conversation about — everything. Whether her own musings or in conversation with industry leaders, each episode invites curiosity.
Curiosity not about what people do, but why they do it. Who they are and what makes them tick. It’s about digging underneath to reveal the thing that is most true - that we are more alike than we are not. A mix of solo episodes where Cathy shares her insights and experience or Cathy engaged in conversation with fascinating humans doing amazing things. No matter the format - it’s unvarnished, radically honest and entirely unleashed.
This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, (https://www.linkedin.com/in/cathybrooks) the coaching business through which Cathy works with symphony orchestras, corporate clients, and individuals to help them unleash and untether (https://calendly.com/cathybrooks/BustThruBS) their leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages.

Complacency
Ahhhh. Complacency. Not sure when it happened, but we seem to have devolved into a world where people get to be influencers for no reason other than gaming an algorithm. Folks who want fame, fortune and results without actually doing the hands in clay work to earn it.
Lest you think I’m launching into a takedown of society - don’t worry. Per usual this is about dog behavior, human behavior, and how the aforementioned problem has created catastrophic issues for dog owners (and job security for dog trainers).

We Hold These Truths
It’s a big year for the United States of America. It’s the 250th anniversary of the nation’s birth. No. I’m not going to do a dissertation on politics, governance or independence. I am going to talk about how there is a critical line in our founding documents that applies to dog training.
We hold these truths… it’s not that they’re self evident. It’s that they’re all true at the same time.
My guest is a powerful one, one who’s really large and in charge.
