presence as practice | listening as leadership
Field Notes
a podcast with Michael Kass
What this is
Field Notes emerged as a space to speak aloud what wants to be heard.
A place to trace the subtle — grief, wonder, story, culture, leadership — all unfolding in real time and meeting you where / whenever you find it.
Each episode is a kind of ritual.
Unscripted & unedited.
Designed by the moment.
Recorded simply, often from my backyard in Santa Fe, in response to what’s alive in the field.
In a time of noise and urgency, Field Notes invites a slower way of knowing.

This is For You If…
You lead people — and often feel alone doing it.
You sense systems shifting and emerging and lack language for it.
You crave presence as much as (or more) than productivity.
You believe stories shape culture, and want to tell new ones.
You’re curious.
