    Robin Raps | "That kind of self-development is something you CAN'T buy." | 152

    Hello again! I really shouldn’t be self-congratulating because two weeks in a row does not a pattern make. A habit? Also no. But it does show me that I showed up again. Two in a row. It’s a start. What I have not started just yet? Waiting until the very last moment to edit the podcast or write this piece. I swear I just wrote about priorities and balance… to my credit, or detriment, I am terrible at following my own advice. I’ve really enjoyed getting back in the studio. It certainly feels like this is what I’m supposed to be doing. Honestly, I would really love to do this full-time. Even tho I already did that once. I would love to do it again, because just prepping for these conversations is difficult enough. Now to be doing them weekly and all the editing and most of the sound engineering and everything else is just a lot. It’s what I signed up for, but it’s still a lot. Especially because I want to be sure I’m providing my guests with a really impactful experience. And not even in a profound way, but where they walk away feeling like, yeah that was a good conversation. So far, so good. And I just want to name that it’s a lot, because it is. Appreciate you all being here for another week. I hope you' enjoyed my convo with Kory. He’s a really dope human being. I hope you’ll enjoy my convo with Grayson aka Robin Raps. He’s also a dope human being. If you have some feedback for the show, I’d love to hear it. Just hit me direct here or on IG (at) patrickintheworld.
