WEST HARTFORD, Conn., April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — What if the key to unlocking everything you desire lies not in what you say, but in how you listen? This provocative question lies at the heart of The Generative Listening Podcast, a new podcast hosted by renowned coach, speaker and entrepreneur Brent Robertson. The podcast aims to reimagine how we think about and practice listening — and how listening can redefine lives, relationships and leadership.
“We’re in a time right now where we are not prioritizing listening,” says Robertson. “We’re talking more and more just trying to be heard and it’s keeping us at a distance from each other. This podcast is a deeper exploration into listening, equipping us to engage and connect more deeply with ourselves and those around us — it’s seeking to cause a listening renaissance, because it’s desperately needed.”
The Generative Listening Podcast takes its audience through the practice of generative listening, a transformative approach built on the idea that listening allows us to create unique spaces where ideas, connections and even futures can emerge.
Each episode explores listening through deep and meaningful conversations with thought leaders, innovators and everyday individuals. Robertson and his guests reflect on their experiences with listening in both professional and personal contexts, unpacking what it means to listen generatively and how it can be applied in real-world situations.
Robertson speaks with guests like journalist turned PR executive Jason Simms and therapist Dr. Kyrn McClain who uses virtual reality to open up new doors into healing. These two episodes explore the value of silence in conversations, and listening beyond the desire to problem-solve.
The Generative Listening Podcast offers a blend of storytelling, actionable insights and reflective practices aimed at empowering listeners to deepen their conversations and relationships. Each episode breaks down the nuances of effective listening, introduces an advanced vocabulary for communication, and provides practical tools to implement generative listening at home, at work and in their lives.
“Generative listening energizes people and possibility,” Robertson explains. “Our goal is to inspire listeners to engage in more meaningful conversations with the people who matter most.”
