I’ve always been a people watcher. It’s helped me become a better broadcaster. Studying the real people patterns of those who may listen to your radio show or podcast. To listen to their conversations from a nearby seat. Not nosey! Aware. Becoming part of my community by not speaking. Just listening to what people are saying, watching what they’re doing and amazed by their actions and reactions. On this podcast episode we’re gonna go inside your personal journey. Long before the Covid thunder we were already lockup inside our head and heart. This is who you are in the morning. This is how you evolve by lunch. Then at night this is who you might become depending on the dog, cat and kids. We’ve got to start removing the divisions. People may like the nighttime you but man those in your circle have also got to cherish your morning breath. Remove the divisions. Arroe in the recording studio is not Arroe the daily writer who isn’t Arroe the husband and Arroe the concerned citizen. Remove the divisions. You experience it every day and make the choice to live with it. Those several layers of thought and personalities that go with each. At the drop of a hat your mood changes and sometimes you keep your cool. Remove the divisions. Know how far you can push your cool. In fact why even approach the challenge? Know what you like, dislike, believe in and no longer trust. Today’s news headlines are a torrential downpour on your life and personality. We go to them to check in. To catch up. To attempt to stay ahead. Take that blow torch and remove that smartphone from your hand. We don’t need to know about Johnny Depp in court. He’s not checking his phone to see how your day went. Remove the divisions. Your mind has been overtaken by something bigger than the Federal Cops in Portland and soon to be Chicago and Albuquerque. Albuquerque? When did they become the bad ass dot on the map? Really Albuquerque? Remove the divisions. Start with yourself then let it grow beyond your moment of now. The very second you jump into a new mood or mindset it reminds the world that the TV show The United States of Tara is nothing more than a photograph of who we really are. Remove the divisions and stop disappearing.
