Life-giving​ view every morning

Even when traveling, i awake at 5AM to begin writing, and always open the hotel room curtains to watch darkness turn to sunrise. Photo: 5 minutes ago at home.

Life-giving view every morning.

Watching darkness slowly turn to sunrise every morning for a decade has changed the way i see the value of life, a single day at a time.

It seems so insignificant.

But actually doing it reveals it’s magnificent significance.

How is Podcasting affecting you?

Disney podcaster jeff noel
Recorded “If Disney Ran Your Life” from our side porch yesterday.

If writing is great for self -reflection, what will podcasting do for self-reflection?

For starters, the auditory consumption of a person’s thinking is different from, and compliments, visual consumption.

The difference is not only in the medium, but also in the ability to consume. You can listen while driving, walking, doing routine chores – the freedom from having to focus on a screen opens up interesting possibilities.

And then there’s the enhanced perception of voice tone, inflection, laughter, dialouge with another human (Podcast host). 

Speaking and recording live on a podcast also eliminates the thoughtful and careful editing that writing inherently provides. 

Exciting growth that is new, challenging, motivating, and fresh.

Big Bang and Disney mashup

Sheldon Cooper with Mickey Mouse Ears and gloves
A rerun i hadn’t seen. It was fun to think about if there was collaboration or if this was simply our (Disney’s) good fortune.

Big Bang and Disney mashup.

Cool to think that the “smartest guy alive” loves Disney.

Proof, we can surmise, that Sheldon Cooper is a genius.

PS. Sheldon is portrayed as the smartest person alive (at least he thinks so). If you are not a Big Bang Theory fan, no worries. i never was, until one day…

i’m a competent incompetent

Walt Disney quote
Last year on Twitter, a former Disney Institute leader who taught me about facilitation (vs presentation).

i’m a competent incompetent.

Meaning i know how much i don’t know about podcasting.

This is a great attitude to have.

Why?

The awareness creates excitement and motivation to improve.

An opposite attitude might yield fear, anxiety, avoidance.
