"Sound is touch at a distance." This week, Self Isolated in Toronto writes, “Dear WTS, Do you know anything about Jaguars?” Ok, not quite, but you can find more of those <a href= "https://www.buzzfeed.com/ellievhall/memorable-dear-abby-columns">here</a>. In actuality, Brett & Nick are trying a bit of an experiment. Recently Brett did a Listening Tour, where he spoke to 26 listeners across 6 countries. We wanted to learn what listeners love about WTS, and to get their feedback on some ideas aimed toward launching new episodes in 2020. In that process we were reminded both how amazing our listeners are, and how much they appreciate the sense of connectedness and community they get through Where There’s Smoke. And so with global self-isolation in effect, we thought that maybe it would help to create some emotional, mental, and spiritual connection, while we all need to eliminate our physical connection for a while.  And that brings us to DEAR WTS. This is a test run. We hope you like it. And if you do, we’ll do more. Possibly even a couple each week. And you will be a part of the show. We want to bring you on the show, and discuss your questions. What do you need help with? Nick is even going so far as to proclaim “100% perfect answers guaranteed”. Step One: Give this show a listen Step Two: Email us at <a href= "mailto:connect@wheretheressmoke.co">connect@wheretheressmoke.co</a> and tell us if you have a Dear WTS question. As you will hear this week, we’ll answer everything from ‘Is a hot dog a sandwich or a taco?’ to ‘Will the other side of this pandemic be a better new normal?’. And EVERYTHING in between. (Or as much as we can get to anyway) It’s good to be back (sorta).

Where There's Smoke

Dear WTS - March 18, 2020

Two holiday vignettes make up this week’s episode:  First, Brett peels back the veneer of the joyful and festive holiday season, to acknowledge that sometimes … Christmas sucks. But, what if that’s actually be a good thing? If you are feeling a bit blue this Christmas, or know someone who is, then this segment is for you. Then, Nick chimes in with a story about silence.

42: The Case Against Truth (Lies) | A Nick Favorite

This week, we bring you a fan favorite (literally) and encourage our Explorers to keep reaching out to us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. (Who knows would could happen!?) <ul> <li><a href= "http://www.facebook.com/explorewts,">www.facebook.com/explorewts</a></li> <li><a href= "http://www.twitter.com/explorewts,">www.twitter.com/explorewts</a></li> <li><a href= "http://www.instagram.com/explorewts">www.instagram.com/explorewts</a></li> </ul> (Also, Nick is excited to have remastered this episode, too.) *** Original show notes “Be so good they can’t ignore you.” That’s Steve Martin’s advice for anybody looking to be successful. We hear some form of this idea from countless actors, musicians, athletes, scientists: Do good work. This week, we attempt to unpack what “good work” truly means. We’re talking about “quality” - specifically as it pertains to situations where we are looking to break into a particular profession, get a promotion, or create a successful product. In those situations, doing “good work” requires us to understand what is expected in a given space and then be able to create for ourselves.  Joining us in this conversation is Franklin Leonard, the founder of The Black List. We also hear from author and speaker Jon Gordon, and receive some emails from the author of The Martian, Andy Weir.  Oh, and we talk about getting struck by lightning. Don’t ask, just listen.

71: Refresh Yourself (Classic)

Integrity is defined as “a state of being whole and undivided”. It is a simple concept, and yet at times, living it can be some of the hardest work we will ever do. This week we hear from Matthew Schueller about an important journey in his life - it’s his journey to integrity. We know that it’s a story with themes that can resonate with everyone and we can’t wait for you to hear Matthew’s words and apply their lessons to your life. Plus Nick & Brett come together for a new WTS segment, or maybe just to banter about late night tv and musicals. We’ll let you decide.

70: Whole In One (Integrity) w/ Matthew Schueller

Expression is the process of taking something from a spark of an idea through to existence. And, while there can be moments in that process that are truly amazing, it can also run us through the ringer - several times over. So, what is required of us to press our expression out into this world? Is want enough or does it require something more? This week we are paying it forward through an exploring on expression and the story of two artists.

69: Go Let It Out (Expression) w/ Lord Birthday

We’ve all had a time or two (... or three…) where we’ve shared a secret that wasn’t ours and it comes back to his us square in the face. Sometimes, before you even think about it, you’ve let something slip out of your mouth and immediately cringe - just wishing you could jump into a 15-second time machine so you can pull those words back into your mouth where they belong. We’ve all been on the other side of it, too - where our trust in someone else has been eroded because of their inability to keep our secrets. You’d think we would learn this lesson early on and just mind our own business. Why is it so easy and so tempting to share secrets? This week on Where There’s Smoke, we hear from a couple new voices! Kristen and Theresa are going to share a few of their own stories, offer a little research, and lean on some of Brene Brown’s teachings to help all of us dig around into our secrets and stories.

68: Straight from the Source (Secrets)

The 48 Hour Challenge is back! We gathered show topic suggestions from our audience, threw them into a word randomizer, and ended up with “self-acceptance”. From there, our challenge was to research, write, and record a brand new episode in 48 hours straight (including sleep). Did we do it? Well, give it a listen and find out. Along the way we talk to clinical psychologist Dr. Lisa Firestone and author & speaker Lisa Jakub. Both of whom help us to understand why self-acceptance can be challenging, what the rewards of doing the work are, and most importantly what are some tangible things you can put in practice today to get back to a life of more self-acceptance and less critical self-consciousness.

67: How You Are Who You Are (Self-Acceptance)

Jim Cuddy has been making music with Greg Keilor for 40 years. For the last 34 of those years, they have made up the songwriting duo for one of Canada’s most beloved and best-selling bands, Blue Rodeo. Brett sits down with Jim to talk about that partnership along with the challenges and benefits of a long standing collaboration. We explore what collaboration is and how it has been crucial to human evolution. And through the lens of Jim Cuddy’s latest album, Constellation, we see how collaboration not only has the ability to bring us together, but also to support us in times when we are torn apart. Plus, Brett looks to find confirmation of an old event and Nick joins in to provide an update on their fasts from social media and cable news, respectively.

66: Lost Together (Collaboration) w/ Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo

In the 1976 movie Network, upon being prompted by news anchor Howard Beale, people in cities all over the USA get up, open their windows, and yell, “I’m mad as hell as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!”. It is now 2018 and people still seem mad as hell - only now, instead of yelling out our windows, we have the internet to amplify our rage. Recently, there has been a lot of conversation about outrage on the internet and the impact of the internet on everything from our relationships to our democracy to our psyches. This week we join that conversation. We take a step back and explore the impact of the internet and social media on both our society and each of us individually? In the end, Brett and Nick ask themselves what they want to do differently moving forward and they provide the opportunity for listeners to ask themselves that question as well.

64: Best. Year. Ever. (Goals) w/ Michael Hyatt

Where There's Smoke explores self-development through the lens of current events, sports, and pop culture. We surf the zeitgeist through an array of audio clips, quotes, concepts, and conversations. In the spirit of The Daily Show and This American Life, we throw everything into an audio centrifuge that separates “what” from “why”. You walk away with insights and actionable solutions to improve your business, relationships, and almost any area of your life. *new* episode every Tuesday.
