For each of these podcast episodes, I only do one take, and I have no script. I start each episode with one idea of what I want to talk about (for example, this one is sharing why I only do one take), and then I just talk. This pushes me out of my comfort zone. It makes me feel more exposed, but there are a number of reasons I choose to do it this way. The main one, is I think too much of life is perfected to the point of being lifeless. There is beauty in leaving room for the unexpected, the unscripted, and the purely inspired.
