Culture shapes how we live, work, and collaborate—yet it remains one of our most misunderstood and underutilized assets. Collaborative Culture explores what culture truly means in our workplaces and across societies, revealing how it powers organizational and community success.

Hosted by cultural intelligence experts Dr. Kristine Gentry (Culture Grove) and Monica Smith (Tradewind Consulting), this podcast creates a forum for transformative conversations about the intersection of culture, leadership, and human connection.

Through candid interviews with thought leaders, revealing case studies, and proven strategies, we examine:

  • Building cultures that ignite collaboration and breakthrough innovation

  • Navigating the fine line between cultural appreciation and appropriation
  • Developing global leadership dexterity in our interconnected world
  • Preparing for the evolving future of work and its impact on teams
  • Implementing practical techniques for cultivating inclusive environments


For business leaders, people managers, HR professionals, and culture enthusiasts, this podcast challenges conventional thinking while delivering actionable insights to help you build environments where everyone thrives.

  • Defining Cultured: Beyond Perks, Posters, and Vibes

    Defining Cultured: Beyond Perks, Posters, and Vibes
    Jul 14 2025

    Is culture just a “vibe”? A breakroom ping pong table? A motivational poster with core values no one remembers? The short answer - No.


    In this episode of Collaborative Culture, we go deeper.


    Join hosts Dr. Kristine Gentry and Monica Smith as they unpack what culture really is — through the lens of anthropology, leadership, and lived experience. From failed meditation mandates to strategic missteps, they expose the most common culture myths and offer a clear, actionable definition that goes far beyond the surface.


    You’ll learn:

    • Why culture is a strategic skill, not a soft one
    • The dangers of leaving culture to chance
    • How to spot culture disconnects across locations and levels
    • Real-world stories of culture fails — and successes
    • How leaders can move from performative perks to intentional, values-aligned culture


    Whether you're a CEO, people leader, or culture-curious listener, this episode will reshape how you think about the everyday actions (and inactions) that shape workplace culture.


    Culture isn’t something you bolt on. It’s the way you build everything.
