Hey there, hero!

Everybody loves baseball. And the language of baseball is part of cultures around the world.

And over the course of time, I’ve settled on one question when I’m trying to serve a client, a peer, an affiliate, a family member or just a friend who needs my support.

More often than not, they react with surprise and delight, and proceed to answer the question with depth and detail.

They love this baseball-inspired request. Watch or listen to this episode to hear this simple question, and see if some version of it might work for you.

(And for those of you in, say, the UK or India or Australia…I’m sure you can create a futbol or cricket equivalent.)

What do you use when you want to find out how your help is needed? How do you dig deep into someone’s needs when they ask for help? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

The title of this podcast episode comes from the words of author Michelle Rozen (not Rozer, as I misspoke at the beginning of the podcast), who wrote The 6%, a book on high achievers.

And when I heard it, it struck me that we kinda face this dilemma all. the. time.

We can worry that no one wants to see or hear or read what we’ve created.

And that can stop the effort to create…dead in its tracks.

How do you approach the act of creation? With an eye toward whether people will pay any attention at all? Or from the learning we experience, good or bad, from simply giving it a go? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

Wow. That’s dark.

A BTS look at my updated audition background, and why I chose to simplify my look.

(I’ll likely be back to the bricks next episode.)

But why the severe change? Because I look for any distraction from my acting and try my best to remove it. And I do it so that all the casting director has to pay attention to…is my acting.

That’s it.

So…what have you been adding to your look or sound or writing that you might want to let go of? Let me know in the comments below.
