What does the “best sandwich” reveal about how we make choices, give feedback, and connect with one another? In this deliciously curious episode of Listening for the Questions, hosts Dan Ward, Lynne Cuppernull, and Dr. Patti Fletcher unwrap the layers—literally and metaphorically—of one of humanity’s most universal meals: the sandwich.

From the Earl of Sandwich’s gaming table to your local deli, this conversation dives into why we love certain combinations, how food reflects our culture and habits, and what a sandwich can teach us about leadership, empathy, and change.

Along the way, the trio explores “the sandwich method” for feedback, the surprising evolution of gluten-free culture, and why sandwiches always taste better when someone else makes them.

Tune in from Boston to LA to London—and wherever great questions are asked—to find out why sometimes, the best way to understand life is to start with lunch.

Listening for the Questions is where curiosity is our compass.

What if the best thing we can do with a question… is share it?

In the very first episode of Listening For The Questions, hosts Lynne Cuppernull, Dan Ward, and Dr. Patti Fletcher invite you into a lively, thought-provoking conversation about three topics shaping today’s world: burnout, power, and artificial intelligence. But this isn’t another show promising quick answers — instead, it’s an exploration of the questions we should be asking.

You’ll hear these three friends and innovation leaders dig into:

• Why burnout feels different for women and men — and how fear of being perceived as “weak” shapes the conversation.
• What power looks like today — and how to share it equitably.
• Where AI belongs in human conversations about work, energy, and boundaries.
• How better questions can help us tell better stories — about ourselves, our teams, and our future.

Whether you’re an executive woman navigating leadership inflection points, an innovation-driven professional, a leadership coach or consultant, or a future-focused org builder looking for inspiration, this episode will make you think, laugh, and maybe rethink the questions you’re asking in your own life and work.

Tune in to join the conversation, leave with more questions than you came with — and share this episode with a friend who loves exploring big ideas.
