A few weeks ago, I was in the middle of a call with a client, an artist I’m coaching. When? Well, we talked about the project he was doing, which is a project, by the way, that he’d been dying to do for three or four years. We finally created the time we got some … Read More

@Sea – Ep149 – Re-Evaluating Our Metrics For Success

@Sea – Ep148 – A Short Reflection on Vacation
I have had a somewhat unusual summer. And so far as I’ve taken a little bit of actual vacation time, I actually don’t vacation much. I’ve never been one to enjoy vacation very much. Which isn’t to say I don’t like getting away. I do like the getaway; I like having days off. I like … Read More

My last couple of weeks, two weeks really almost at the mark right now, have been turbulent; I would say they’d been rough. But that’s mostly just been turbulent. It’s been hard.

You have used the phrase or heard the phrase, ‘let’s make some memories’ or ‘let’s make some moments.’ If you pay attention to the podcast, you know that for the last few weeks, I’ve been thinking a lot about the passage of time. It’s one of the things that came up a lot as I … Read More

It has been said, and I’ve come to believe this as a truth, that writing for an author is as much as anything else, a process of self-discovery, that one of the things that happen necessarily, in the process of writing, actually writing is that I see myself, I look into my own soul, I … Read More

If you pay attention to my life in any way, shape, or form, you know that I have a 12-year-old, almost 13, and a six-year-old; she just turned six. My six-year-old, I call her the bird.
