Curious about how a simple idea evolved into a flourishing podcast? Join us as we reflect on three transformative years of "Take the Elevator," where we’ve elevated everyday topics to bring positivity and insight into your lives. Gen and Kory
candidly discuss their recent musings about either branching out with a new podcast or wrapping up "Take the Elevator" to create "The Fuzzy Furry Forest." Instead of choosing one path, they ingeniously merge both concepts, crafting a unique blend that continues to uplift and entertain. Discover the creative process behind "The Fuzzy Furry Forest" and its ability to captivate both children and adults alike.

We dive into themes of emotional intelligence, diversity, and creativity in our writing. By choosing animals as characters, we avoid biases based on physical attributes and instead connect with readers on deeper personality traits. Gen and Kory explore how their diverse strengths as co-authors amplify their storytelling, drawing parallels to the importance of varied perspectives in professional settings. The discussion underscores the invaluable contributions every voice can make, fostering innovation and inclusivity in both our narratives and workplaces.

The conversation doesn't stop there. We explore the significance of diversity and inclusivity within nonprofit organizations and educational settings. Through the "Fuzzy Furry Forest" book series, we highlight how diverse experiences enhance relatability and inclusivity in stories and real-life scenarios. Gen and Kory share personal anecdotes that illustrate the powerful impact of feeling respected, valued, and supported. The concept of belonging is central to our dialogue, demonstrating how emotional connections, safety, and community contribute to personal growth and fulfillment. Tune in to learn how nurturing diversity, inclusion, and belonging can help you thrive in all aspects of life.
