112: Giving Thanks for 111 Episodes

In Episode 112, I express my gratitude for all the listeners, supporters, and guests who enabled Unlabeled Leadership to continue. I share a blooper and an excerpt from Kim Ruyle’s episode about giving thanks.

Prologue

Unlabeled Leadership has listeners from 65 Countries, 44 States + the District of Columbia in the United States, and 603 cities or territories. 30 media platforms distribute episodes, including KLDR Online (Leadership Development Radio) out of St. Louis, Missouri.

Of the 111, I have had four solo episodes, 99 guests, 7 guests who have been on two episodes, one episode with Don Kirkey and Ajay Pangarkar. 11 guests are veterans from the United States armed forces, including law enforcement.

I saved one blooper clip in which two cats interrupted Ed Muzio and me in Episode 33. The clip did not make the final recording.
