10 Podcasts Made by Your People 🎧


Hey #FaciliFam,

You've probably noticed I went quiet for a while. Longer than I'd like to admit. I'm not going to spend this whole issue explaining where I've been - just know I'm back, and I've got things for you this week. 🤓

Let's start with something good. No tool breakdown today. Just a list I've been meaning to send you.


🎙️ My 10 Top Voices

I don't listen to a lot of podcasts. But when I do, most of them are made by people I actually know - fellow facilitators, L&D folks, community builders who decided to hit record instead of just doing the work quietly.

Here are 10 you'll want in your queue. I prefer the video version when one exists, but that's a me-thing.

🎧 Another Day, Another Workshop - Mehdi En-Naizi
🎧 Building Thinkers - Tracy Clark
🎧 Community ROI - Yurii Lazaruk
🎧 Edges of Facilitation - Lucy Chambers
🎧 Facilitating on Purpose - Beth Cougler Blom
🎧 Lead with Levity - Heather Walker, Ph.D.
🎧 The Momentum Experiment - Cat Mulvihill
🎧 There's a Workshop for That - Nathy Ravez
🎧 Trainers Toolbox - Mirna Smidt

Have I been a guest on half of these? Damn sure I have. Doesn't matter - I wouldn't be sending them to you if I didn't actually like them as a listener first.

Make sure to subscribe to any of these you like. 🙏🏽

🎥 Facilitainer TV: Watch, Learn, Laugh

I went on Trainers Toolbox with Mirna Smidt to talk about something I care about more than Stream Deck buttons: being authentic as a trainer. What it actually means, and why making bold choices about your style is scarier than it sounds - but worth it.

Hey FaciliFam, Do you feel invisible when facilitating online? Like a small face in a box? 👀 Not a philosophical question. I mean literally. If you: - Scramble for buttons mid-sentence while trying to hold eye contact. - Run sessions that feel generic - no visual identity, just another Zoom call. - Charge less than you are worth because your on-screen presence hides your value. This is not a content problem. It is a production problem. The Difference In Practice You shouldn't rely on content...

Hey #FaciliFam, If you are new to Stream Deck, or yours has been quietly collecting dust, you are in the right place. Three simple button types. Each one takes a few minutes to set up and immediately changes how your sessions feel. No steep learning curve. Just powerful little buttons that do exactly what you need, when you need them. The magic is not the hardware. It is what happens when actions become muscle memory. You switch less, react faster, and your sessions feel calmer and more in...

Hey #FaciliFam, your virtual room is your stage - and with OBS Studio and a virtual camera, you control how it looks and feels. And it does not have to be complicated. A few intentional choices create a setup that feels polished, personal, and purposeful - no fancy effects required. Here is the simple foundation I recommend. It already covers about 85 percent of what you will need. Clean, intentional, reliable. Your Virtual Stage If this is new to you, here is the short version: OBS is a free...
