In Memoriam: Verleon Grant (Listener Favorite Guest and Nick's Grandmother)
Where There's Smoke
by Brett Gajda and Nick Jaworski

Sadly, my grandmother passed away this week at the age of 99. You might remember her from episode #49 of WTS: Can't Get There From Hair (Acceptance).  She was a force and I hope you take a few minutes to listen to what she has to say.

It is December and any show worth its weight in gold (or frankincense… or myrrh) has a Christmas episode - and WTS is definitely with its weight in tree resin.

We hope you enjoy them and, perhaps, even take away an idea or two that helps your holiday season be merry and bright.

81: Halloween or Hallo... won’t? (Play)
Where There's Smoke
by Brett Gajda and Nick Jaworski
3y ago
What is Halloween without the trick or treating?That is the question that started the journey of this episode. A lot of our traditions over the next few months are going to look different this year. Not just Halloween. It’s unlikely that celebrations of US Thanksgiving, Diwali, Hanukkah, or Christmas will have the same gatherings of people they have in the past. And that sucks. And many people feel stuck. And this feeling of being stuck is not exclusive to Halloween where 2020 is concerned.So how do we adapt? And is perhaps perhaps a tool that can help all of us adapt? For Halloween … and beyo ..read more

60: Just The Way You Are - A WTS Favorite
Where There's Smoke
by Brett Gajda and Nick Jaworski
3y ago
Halloween is coming up and that means Halloween movies and TV specials! To celebrate, Nick explores one of the earliest and most famous Halloween specials - It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. An often overlooked element in that show is the fact that Linus must be sincere in order for the Great Pumpkin to arrive. But, what does it mean to be sincere? Is it the kind of thing that we can create or should we just fake it ‘til we make it? Brett & Nick branch out from the Great Pumpkin to discuss sincerity in a variety of situations - from late night talk shows to a friendly neighbor. Make s ..read more

80: Can We Talk? (Dialogue)
Where There's Smoke
by Brett Gajda and Nick Jaworski
3y ago
The world is grappling with a lot of tough issues. Issues that are nuanced and layered. Issues that don’t necessarily have a right or wrong answer. Issues that demand dialogue for progress. And yet we seem to mostly be doing something else.  This week we are talking about talking. Debate vs Dialogue. Nick revisits an actual debate, and both Nick and Brett attempt to create some dialogue.  In the end they hope to answer the question, Is dialogue dead?

79: Lessons from Chadwick (Generosity)
Where There's Smoke
by Brett Gajda and Nick Jaworski
3y ago
This week our episode is inspired by the life of Chadwick Boseman. We challenge ourselves to look at how we are showing up in the world. With all of our fears and doubts and distractions, and over corrections and under corrections, and at times just plain laziness or indifference - how many of us manage to consistently show up in our life? For ourselves and for others? To bring all of ourselves to the party? We hear a story from Personal Story expert, Bo Eason. And you may just leave this episode with a different view on generosity, and a renewed commitment to bring it.   Check out Bo Eas ..read more
