WHERE CONVERSATION MOVES FORWARD
The UNSTUCK Podcast
Getting stuck is part of leading. What matters is what happens next.
The UNSTUCK Podcast features real conversations hosted by Tim Terrentine, Founder and Chief Translator at Translator’s Consulting Group, with leaders and change-makers navigating moments of tension, transition, and growth. Each episode explores what it means to feel stuck — in a role, a system, a community, or a decision — and how people find their way forward.
These conversations are candid, thoughtful, and grounded in lived experience. They offer language for naming what’s hard, perspective for seeing more clearly, and practical insight for building momentum that holds.
If you’re working to move through something — or help others do the same — you’re in the right place.
