-Missed Opportunity- I love sharing conversations.  Hosting requires show prep.  My podcasting platforms feature thousands of guests.  What you don’t have access to are the missed opportunities. The show prep was completed.  The conversation didn’t happen.  I keep all my notes! Paths will cross again.  Let me explain Missed Opportunity.  It’s my questions and statements without their answers.  I’m leaving open enough space at the end of each question hoping they’ll download the talk and insert their answers.Missed Opportunity is a lost piece of history.  Like a message in a bottle tossed out to sea. I hope to loca...

It seems so stupid. To physically ask yourself questions then question answers. Now do it with a digital device recording every breath you take. The stupid mental earthquake hits. It feels so stupid to ask yourself about the walk and way. Especially when there are billions of others around your decision making. Yeah, and none of them have spent 30 seconds in your shoes. WTF do they know about the real you? Ask yourself the questions and show off that feeling of doing something assumed stupid. It's your greatest decision to know you.

STRANDED IN THE FUTURE is a kind of dystopian self-portrait. It's about obsession, and obsessive behavior. Spanning from 1968 to 1978, it takes in the mythology that teenagers weave around their musical heroes and their early loves: in this case, one specific hero and one specific love. The book explores the way that Hitchcock, in his own head, linked these two figures to each other, although they never actually met.On the way, the story mines the incremental hangover of the 1970s as Hitchcock begins to play live, teaches himself to write songs, and eventually forms the Soft Boys. There's a side...

There's word on the podcast street of having a more open format when it comes to sharing politics. Especially as we get closer to the midterm elections. Do you or don't you include a political figure? The ups downs twists and victories. Invite them but play by your rules. A Politician can talk about any subject including yours. Don't stray from your vision. Tap into how they fit into yours. They need you.

Although we don't really write physical U.S. mail delivered letters anymore, this phrase continues to live on. Nothing to write home about. It's all-over social media and for some reason we care when years past that handwritten letter would've been trashed.
