• the SOUL of OUR DEMOCRACY: UNCORKED with COLLEEN JAMES

  What if democracy isn’t just something we practice at the ballot box, but something we live out every day—in our debates, in our disagreements, and even on the sidewalks of our cities? In this episode of the UNCOMMODiFiED podcast, Tim Windsor sits down with regional councillor, entrepreneur, and community builder Colleen James to explore what democracy truly demands of us, not just as voters, but as individuals. Together, they unpack the deeper meaning of democracy beyond political structures—anchoring it in humility, ambition, unity, mutual respect, and our willingness to hold truths in tension.From spirited reflections on political leadership, integrity, a confrontation with electric scooters and sidewalk etiquette, this conversation is both a wake-up call and a masterclass in civic engagement. You'll walk away challenged to embrace respectful disagreement, confront your own biases, engage your community with purpose, and, above all, recognize that democracy isn’t just for politicians. It’s ours to protect, ours to build, and ours to live.Tim Windsorthe UNCOMMODiFiED Podcast – Host & [email protected]://uncommodified.com/  PRODUCERS: Alyne Gagne & Kris MacQueen MUSIC BY: https://themacqueens.ca/

• the POWER of PULLING TOGETHER: UNCORKED with ABBIE PECKHAM

  What if your most significant strength wasn’t just how hard you pull but how well you synchronize with others? In this episode of the UNCOMMODiFiED Podcast, Tim Windsor syncs up with Abby Peckham, the Head Coach of the High School Girls Program at Saratoga Rowing Association in Saratoga Springs, New York. A coach who has learned that the rhythm of life and leadership has far more to do with trust, timing, and teamwork than we like to admit. From the hum of bubbles beneath a shell gliding across the water to a young woman sobbing in a McDonald's parking lot before discovering the power of showing up, Abby shares real, unfiltered stories of pain, presence, perseverance, and what happens when we learn to row as one.Whether you’re leading a team, building a business, parenting through chaos, or simply trying to get your life back on track, this episode delivers. We discuss how our blades, which don’t cut through the water but instead plant into it for leverage, are like the commitments that drive us forward. We explore why synchronized effort trumps solo hustle, why posture becomes more important when the wind hits hardest, and how leadership requires us to be fully present and unflinchingly honest. This isn’t just a rowing lesson—it’s a blueprint for navigating the waters of life, business, and becoming UNCOMMODiFiED in a world that constantly tells you to paddle alone.Tim Windsorthe UNCOMMODiFiED Podcast – Host & [email protected]://uncommodified.com/  PRODUCERS: Kris MacQueen & Alyne GagneMUSIC BY: https://themacqueens.ca/
