Dropping Keys

This A episode explores the Key "We are not neutral" dropped by Ashley Hawkins.
This idea influences every aspect of our lives:
who we like,
who we love,
who we work for,
who likes us,
who gets us.

In this episode, you will find references to 
sisters from another mister, 
watch killers,
electromagnetic fields,
and the idea that self-knowledge is the greatest knowledge.  
Enjoy!

A conversation with co-conspirator Ashley Hawkins.
Ashley is the co-founder and Executive Director of Studio Two Three, a non-profit located in Richmond, VA
Studio Two Three is her ultimate creative expression, balancing her passions for community building, dreaming big, and art-making. 
Ashley is a Virginia Commonwealth University alumna with a BFA in Painting and Printmaking and a Masters in Public Administration with a concentration in Nonprofit Management. 
She believes deeply in the power of art to elevate voices, agitate for change, and connect communities. 
She and her partner are working hard to raise their young children, Max and Zoey to be awesome human beings. They have a cute bulldog named Piggy, who is the unofficial Studio Two Three mascot

We dig deep into community creation, strategic partnerships, and what giving everyone keys to building allows.

What you have just opened up is an "A" volume. 
It's an extension of the previous conversation where I take a deep dive into one or more of the Keys dropped. 
In this case, a complement to Volume Four with co-conspirator Stephen Moegling.

Joel explores the difficulty of being here, mentioning:
breathing,
string theory,
golf,
cats,
and laser pointers. 

In this episode, my Dropping Keys co-conspirator is Stephen Moegling. 
Stephen is a marketing and sales strategist,  teaching practical and effective ways to grow business confidently and authentically. 
He's a team member with the marketing firm Haily Sault.
He's a rock and roll drummer with the band spiderkelley and an amateur chef.

The Tyranny of Should
Byron Katie's "The Work"

You can find Stephen at www.stephenmoegling.com

This "A" episode is the first anti-key title of the series.  
Why an anti-key?  
Sometimes we need to hear the negative in order to understand the positive.

I invite you to listen now. 

This episode is a complement to Dropping Keys Volume Three with co-conspirator,
JoanE Justice.


 

A personal and thought-provoking conversation with JoanE Justice.

JoanE is a realtor having just completed 3 years leading an expansion team for the Reynolds Team (the #3 team in all of Keller Williams International).  
She's a sculptor, gardener, world traveler, and live music lover. 

Those around her said she was "killing it".  
"I vacated my body. I disconnected from myself. I left myself." is what she said.  

This is a Dropping Keys "A" volume, where Joel takes a deeper dive into a key dropped by one of his co-conspirators.  This episode is a companion to Volume 2, a conversation with Caitlin Deyerle.  She dropped this key, "Remember, you won't have time to do everything."

Co-conspirator Reverend Caitlin Deyerle drops keys about mentors, being a new parent, and much more. 
Caitlin is currently Pastor at Southminster Presbyterian Church in Chesterfield, VA.
Caitlin is also, a wife, a mother of 1.5 (at the time of the podcast - now 2!) children, a writer, and in my book an everyday superstar.
 She'll soon be known as the Rev. Dr. Deyerle as she finishes her Doctor of Ministry program in building community partnerships.
She's a millennial who is tired of those seeking to mold her into their image and tired of talking about millennials!
Listen for the keys you might discover.
