Collected by Unum Co.
Collected by Unum Co. is a podcast about the power of lived experience—how stories can shape more human-centred systems, services, and spaces.
Each episode, hosts Megan and Farah sit down with people who are challenging the status quo, leading with empathy, and making an impact through their work and their stories.
Stories move us. They open eyes, shift systems, and remind us what really matters. Real change begins when people show up for people, and this is the space where those conversations live.

The art of thoughtful connection with Wendy Smith
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode we sit down with Wendy Smith—entrepreneur, creative, and community-builder—to explore what it means to lead with empathy and intention. From handwritten notes to community events that bring people together, Wendy shows how small, thoughtful gestures can create lasting impact.
She shares her journey of evolution (across industries, identities, and roles) and how consistency and care have shaped the way she connects with others. Together, we unpack what it means to build spaces that feel human and where collaboration and kindness are as essential as strategy and success.
This conversation is a reminder that thoughtful connection isn’t just a skill, but an art.
