I began working on a 100 episode retrospective about a month ago. This alone is a daunting task, because that’s a LOT of episodes, and my guests

My guest for this episode is Carolyn Swinton, who is an Executive Coach and consultant, and who also happens to be one of my former clients. We worked together years ago when she was the Chief Nursing Officer of a large hospital organization. We’ve stayed in touch over the years, and more than once, after we had a meaningful conversation, I hung up thinking “We should have recorded that for a podcast.” Well, we finally did it! This conversation touched on a number of themes – everything fr

My guest for this episode of the podcast is Tik Maynard. If you follow Road to the Horse, known as the world championship of colt starting, you know him as the winner of the last two years. Besides that distinction, he is a 3 day event rider, clinician, and horse trainer. Yet,Tik shared a very simple bio about himself: Author of two books. Father of two kids. Also: three-day event rider, husband, juggler, dad-joke teller, Road To The Horse competitor. There is a LOT more
