Rise Up with April Poynter
Rise Up with April Poynter
This is the unfiltered version of April.
Rise Up is a podcast about the real stuff — healing, leading, building, and figuring it out along the way.
No single lane. No neat category. Just honest conversations and solo thoughts from someone who has spent over 20 years in boardrooms, break rooms, and every space in between.
Some episodes are about chronic blushing and breaking the loop.
Some are about the alignment gap between leaders and the people doing the work.
Some are just audio messages — unscripted, unedited, straight from wherever April is in that moment.
Because some thoughts are too real to wait for a recording schedule.
All of it comes from the same place.
Just a human. Navigating being one.
All of it is Rise Up.
Come for one thing. Stay for all of it.

69: Enjoy The Passing of Time
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Do you and your friends share audio message ramblings? I'm trying something new on the podcast. No edits. No cleanup. No plan. Just me sharing thoughts with you as if I have your phone number and just hit record on the audio to talk to you during my morning walk.
1. Because it helps me process.
2. Because I believe the sharing of ideas is what helps broaden our own thinking. You never know what one interesting idea might spark - and the ripple effect it may have.
This message is about not setting ourselves up for failure by putting the outcomes we're seeking in the hands of someone else.
Tearing down the ideas that we once believed led to significance - and why we were ever searching for significance to begin with.
Why do we always want more? How much is enough? Is enough - enough?
Also, a shift on being present vs enjoying the passing of time.
As my friend, Andrea, and I say when we send a whole slew of messages - "Enjoy the ride."
