Our Leadership Voices: Uncut

Hi everyone. Steven (Steve) Holliday here and welcome. This podcast has evolved. It's dedicated to exploring the "uncut leadership stories and conversations" that the world is now calling for. At the same time, I lead this podcast with the intention to live a more spirited, lighter, unplanned life. I will continue to reveal and explore my own uncut leadership voice and personal leadership journey. This podcast began in 2021 by engaging in conversations with those close to me - clients, friends, and family - and now - after a long personal hiatus from summer 2023 - the podcast returns in Spring 2026. The intent is to both widen and focus the conversations to include unheard voices and stories, that engage in vital conversations that the world needs more of. Let's see what emerges.

  The Writer : Finding My Voice

  Aug 31, 202633 minS2

  Alongside Taekwondo, another identity was quietly emerging within Faye - that had long-been there.. Faye shares how writing grew from childhood imagination into published crime novels as Bea Baskerville, what it means to edit both stories and ourselves, and why authenticity has become one of the defining themes of her life. The conversation ends where another story is about to begin: with the woman who steps aboard Reach Out at Eastbourne, ready to become a white belt once again.

  Black Belts : Finding My Place

  Aug 24, 202624 minS2

  Taekwondo became far more than a sport for Faye. In this episode, Faye reflects on competing for England, becoming a captain, building her own successful martial arts school, and discovering herself as a teacher, leader, entrepreneur and business owner. It's a conversation about discipline, belonging, community and the identities we build long before life asks us to become someone new.

  Faye Allman : Arrival : Who Was I?

  Aug 17, 202632 minS2

  In the opening episode of this new series, we meet Faye Allman and begin where every meaningful story begins: with the question, Who was I before everything changed? Three years into life afloat on a sailing boat, Faye reflects on why now feels like the right time to tell her story. Together we explore her childhood in Newcastle, the experiences that shaped her, and the early years that laid the foundations for everything that followed. This is not yet a story about sailing. It is the story of the woman who would one day step aboard - with her husband Rob Johnson, from previous episodes.

  Meeting the Edge of Myself : Reflections from a Spiritual Retreat

  Aug 10, 202641 minS2

  Following twelve conversations with Rob Johnson, I found myself turning the microphone back on myself. In this deeply personal "uncut" reflection, I share what emerged from my first spiritual retreat with my Zen teacher, Claire Genkai Breeze, and 39 other people from around the world, and how it has continued to shape my own inquiry into leadership, identity and spirit. Through journal reflections, I explore the "editor" that has driven much of my life, the pull towards certainty and control, and a growing invitation to live a lighter, more spirited and less burdened life. This isn't a polished teaching or a set of answers. Using my journal of relflections, It's simply one person's honest reflections from the edge, as I grow.

  What Happens at the Edge of Ourselves? : Reflections on Accompanying Rob

  Aug 3, 202626 minS2

  In this solo reflection, I look back on twelve conversations with Rob Johnson and the journey that unfolded between us. What began as a story about leaving corporate life and going sailing became something much deeper: an exploration of identity, control, courage, belonging and what happens when we meet the edge of ourselves. I also reflect on what Rob’s story revealed back to me about my own 999 days, my own return, and my continuing inquiry into living a lighter, more unplanned and more spirited life.
