238. Values During Times of Transition (with Us)

We’re undergoing a major paradigm shift here at POTC, and as we shift, we feel it’s important to reorient toward our values. Values might be defined as ways-of-being or qualities or purposes that define behaviors. For example, if you value kindness, you might go out of your way to exude kindness in your behaviors, even when it’s difficult or uncomfortable to do so. On this episode of POTC, our co-hosts come together to discuss their personal values as well as those that guide their podcast-creating behaviors. Join our team in this episode as we unpack how our values have evolved alongside the podcast, and learn practical methods for exploring your own values today!
