S2 #12 Trey Reese: Cultivator–Communicator–Healer

What happens when a shark and a shrink walk into a podcast studio together? You get one of the most honest, insightful, and warmhearted conversations about creativity and leadership you've ever heard.

Trey Reese is the Chief Operating Officer of Brightmoor Hospice and a board member of the Georgia Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. He is a leader who has spent his career at the intersection of law, compassionate care, and people development.

On The Hodges 12, Trey is a Cultivator— Communicator— Healer and in this episode, you'll see exactly why that combination is so powerful.

Trey and Heather explore what it really means to be creative when you've never called yourself a creative person, why the Cultivator's work is often invisible until years later, and how his Trifecta showed up in a single, pivotal conversation with a colleague, before he even realized what he was doing.

What You'll Hear in This Episode:

• Why Trey never considered himself creative, and what changed

• The invisible nature of the Cultivator genius: planting seeds and trusting the long game

• The kudos card that arrived two years in the making, and what it revealed

• How his Healer genius goes straight for the root cause beneath what's being said

• Why humor and playfulness are essential leadership tools (yes, even in hospice)

• The courage it takes to share your biggest failures, and why people love it

• Trey's powerful message to anyone convinced they are not creative: "You're wrong."

• Percy the Penguin's lightning round, including a question from previous guest Jen Elliott
