OUT of the POOL and INTO the OCEAN: UNCORKED with BARRY LONG

the UNCOMMODiFiED Podcast

Are you just swimming in a chlorinated pool when you were born for the vastness and wonder of the ocean?

That’s the challenge Tim Windsor and Barry Long UNCORK in this conversation. The pool—with its clean lines, warm water, and predictable depth—feels safe, but it’s sterile. It tricks us into thinking we’re moving forward while, in truth, we’re going nowhere. The ocean, on the other hand, is untamed, dangerous, and full of mystery—but it’s also where life truly lives. Together, Barry and Tim wrestle with what it means to leave the pool behind and plunge into waters that stir courage, risk, and genuine growth.

This episode encourages you to question where you have settled for safe, chlorinated comfort instead of embracing risky wonder. Whether it’s your work, relationships, leadership, or spiritual path, Tim and Barry examine how we all can become domesticated—comfortable, contained, and ultimately exhausted. They then challenge each other, and you, to step into deeper currents where wonder and risk intertwine. Throughout, they discuss the price of comfort, the unexpected ego-loss when leaving the “centre stage,” and the beauty of finding connection in places that feel vast and unpredictable.

If you’re tired of paddling in the pool and are ready to dive into the unpredictable ocean—this episode is your invitation. Listen with courage, sip your drink slowly, and ask yourself: where in your life have you been settling for a pool, when you were meant for the ocean?
