I'm not sure if you've had the chance to listen to my appearance on Inside Home Recording yet, but suffice to say there was a little bit of thought that went into my conversation with Dave Chick.

I don't say this to brag. I think it is sort of in my nature to be over-prepared for opportunities that I consider to be grand. I can certainly recall instances where I was over-prepared for concerts and workshops before. I don't think it is a waste of time to be prepared for an event, as there is always the chance it will be your last.

You may have picked up that Dave actually provided me with a list of things he was going to talk about, so I spent some time researching those items, and, more importantly, jotted down some notes. I think having those notes helped me to touch on the more important points in our discussions.

So, in conclusion, a lot of what I said on the show was actually premeditated or planned out beforehand. Does that take away some of the brilliance of the moment? I can't answer that.

Have you ever had one of those? Today has been one of those for me. I don't really mean it in a negative way, however. Somehow, just having a break from the norm is exactly what I needed.

You just know that you're going to have a "different kind of day" when you don't even make it through your morning routine before texts and calls start to flood in. Suddenly, you're in the trenches, doing damage control instead of easing your way into the day.

I think it has caused me to realize some things about myself. Some things aren't easy to see from your own vantage point. You have to hear it from someone else so you can take it into consideration and think about how you can do better next time.

I was recently asked to be on the Inside Home Recording podcast! This was a real honor for me, and a vision-come-true. Check it out!
