Episode 6 allowed me to reflect on the period of time between 2012 and 2016 where I stopped creating. Completely. Nada. Nothing. 2016 is when I finally found the creative spark again and against all logic, I started a YouTube Channel at age 40. I know, right?

Episode 5 was supposed to pick up after 2012 and take me through the following 4 years after. What I missed before though, was how much my time creating internet radio helped me get through the lowest point in my professional life; The financial crash of 2008.

Episode 4 finds me exploring the first time I thought that I could take what I did creatively and turn it into a business. The title of this episode is why it didn't work.

Episode 3 brings the tale of the first taste of creative success for me. Internet radio in the mid-2000s! The energy, the pop the sizzle, the community of friends and fans that rallied around it. It was magic, man. Just magic. This is the story of how it was inspired, what I built, and how ultimately it didn't last. It couldn't last.  My first failure.

Episode 2 brought me yet another revelation about my life as a creator. What I thought was my first big creative flop...wasn't. Turns out that in all this time I just sort of forgot about the VERY first time I said "I can do that..." and made something that, well, failed.

For episode 1, I decided to go back to where I think this desire to "create" things started. All the way back to my childhood and the things I tried to do all the while thinking that something I created would take off and I would get famous. I actually surprised myself by stumbling headfirst into the reason WHY I find myself wanting to create things. It was somewhat cathartic, actually. Unfortunately, I think I'm about 30 years too late to do anything about it. The truth is, the decisions I made and the things I put a value on meant that fame and fortune were, for me, simply never meant to happen. Deep, right?

Not that there's really a point but this is an introduction to... well... this. What I'm doing and why I'm doing it. Self-reflection, social media, and why I'm not saying my own name anymore.
