Lori does a great job creating thoughtful conversations that go deeper than the typical leadership podcast. A World of Difference looks at the human side of work, culture, and leadership in a way that feels real and practical. The guests bring diverse perspectives and Lori has a talent for asking the kinds of questions that make you think differently about how organizations actually work. If you care about leadership, culture, and the future of work, this podcast is well worth your time
I recently met Lori and had the privilege of being a guest on A World of Difference. In preparing for our conversation, I spent hours listening to past episodes, and was struck by Lori’s extraordinary ability to hold space for each guest and their lived experience. Her own global perspective shines through in every question she asks, shaped by her life beyond the bubble of the U.S. Lori approaches every dialogue with empathy, curiosity, and depth, creating a meaningful experience not only for her guests but also for listeners. Each episode left me with an actionable insight and an eagerness to queue up the next one.
I really appreciated how Loriis able to have a conversation that balances her sharing her own story and the guest sharing their perspectives. The topics are interesting and relatable.
Thanks for having me on your show. If even one team uses what we discussed to better align their strategy with their business priorities, I’ll consider it time well spent. Because misalignment is expensive, but it doesn't have to be!
I had such a great time joining this episode to talk about a topic that’s near and dear to my heart - navigating toxic work environments and building psychologically safe, respectful workplaces.As a guest, I got to bust some of the biggest myths I hear far too often: “It’s just part of the job,” “You’re overreacting,” or the dreaded, “Don’t speak up. You’ll be seen as the problem.” Spoiler alert: none of those are true, and staying silent only fuels the dysfunction.We dug into what psychological safety really looks like, how to spot bullying and abrasive behavior (even when it’s subtle), and what leaders can do to turn things around.Big thanks to the amazing Lori Adams-Brown for guiding such a thoughtful conversation. Lori is an insightful, warm, and truly skilled host who made the whole experience feel like a meaningful exchange, not just a Q&A. I loved the space she created for deeper dialogue about the real impact of toxic leadership and what we can do to shift workplace dynamics for the better.
I was a guest on A World of Difference and loved the experience. Lori is warm, insightful, and knowledgeable host who facilitates fantastic conversations.
I am loving this podcast! Lori is so good at interviewing her guests…and she generously shares her window into the interesting conversations with us podcast listeners. I feel like we all need a Lori in our lives!
Loved being a guest on Lori’s show. She made it a smooth and comfortable conversation. Lori’s got her hands in all sort of interesting and important initiatives and she brings a ton to the conversation! Tune in!
Being a guest on Lori Adams-Brown’s podcast was a truly meaningful experience. Our conversation was both personal and professional—deep, poignant, and necessary. For thought leaders and listeners who are navigating how to tell their story, find their voice, and set boundaries, this podcast is a must. Lori creates a space where stories collide with the high-control religious structures we once participated in—but that’s not where the story ends. Together, we explored what it means to move forward in freedom, embrace our humanity, and lead as women with strength and authenticity. A powerful and important conversation!
One of the things I love most about this podcast is that it brings together so many different threads: politics, religion, self-help, organizing for change, etc. In a world so focused on individual parts, listening to folks engaging with the whole is emboldening and exciting.
Lori is a fantastic interviewer as well as having the knack for bringing up personal experiences with sleep to keep things in conversation mode. As much as I love teaching, conversations are so much more refreshing and informative than didactics. Well done, Lori. Thanks so much the opportunity to speak with your audience worldwide listeners.
This podcast truly lives up to its name by delivering thought-provoking content that opens up new avenues of understanding. Lori’s meaningful conversations about our diverse world is a delight to listen to. - Ash & The Capsho Team
As a former missionary, Lori brings highly necessary criticism of American predominantly white Evangelicalism. American Christianity cannot help but be shaped and formed by white, predominantly male European values. Lori’s voice and viewpoints are shaped by the faith and views of other cultures, which are present in America but generally drowned out by the loudest voices in white Evangelicalism.Having worked and been deeply involved/invested in an American mega church, she is also uniquely poised to be able to speak to the toxic behaviors she experienced there. Behaviors that are often not visible to those on the outside or attend more casually but still have just as big of an impact.
Listening and learning from all of the unique perspectives each week is always a highlight of my week. Lori does a great job of challenging us to think differently and get outside of our comfort zones to make a difference in our world.
This podcast is led by someone who has some amazing experiences growing up in Venezuela and then working in Indonesia and Singapore for 20 years. She is an excellent communicator and story teller. Love this podcast!
