Change always creates resistance and fear. As we move through this crisis, let us take the chance to re-align our focus to what's important and to what we each can do to create change, empathy, and community.

Victor Acquista - Globs of Energy

I have always suspected that lots of planets lined up identically for Victor's and my births. We don't finish each other's sentences, but we do finish each other's paragraphs.Contemplatives, dogma, dynamism, solipsism, belief systems, impressions and projections, impersonation, human spirit progression (with a long gestation and difficult birth) gave us some things to talk about, and then we took a breath and forged ahead.Victor is a delight and a wonder, a gentle soul who shares with me the ...

Gina Mazza - We're Not here to Be Stagnant

I met Gina Mazza during an online conversation about creativity. Took us a bit of back-and-forth to get to recording, and then a few delays to mix and load. With every minute.She's had a variegated career - something we share. We speak on God and the church, meaning and work, and the evidence for a major evolutionary shift in human kind's consciousness. Join us as we agree that we're not here to be stagnant.

Maggie Jackson - The Islands of our Knowledge

Via my wonderful friend Craig James arrived Maggie Jackson. So here's a tiny sample of our journey together:The unease of uncertainty is actually a gift.Ambivalent CEOs are actually better performers.It's fear of uncertainty that sets you back, not uncertainty itself.Try on the Unknown.What does it mean to be human now that we are married to these technologies?That's just for starters. Come join us, please, as we explore the rich and wonderful topography that abides between The Islands o...

Carey Corr - I Thought a Lot Older

Carey Corr has a marvelous story. He is a film-maker and carries a boundless sense of curiosity and adventure. He's fearless and we share the excitement of new ideas alongside a deep suspicion of knowing as a way to live - it's embracing how little we know that gives us energy.Education, Laurel & Hardy, W. C. Fields, science fiction B movies, no holds barred as we realize that, each of us, as boys, realize that "I thought a Lot Older."

Clarabelle Miray Fields - It Has to be Raw

I met Clarabelle Miray Fields on a forum about creativity and knew I'd need to listen more to what she had to explore. She was self-publishing when she was four, binding her own books using her mother's hole-punch and yarn. She writes speculative fiction, both prose and poetry, and we take a stroll through the land of creativity. She's thoughtful, wide-ranging and candid. And she firmly believes that for writing to grab us, It Has to be Raw.

Glenn Behenna - Distinctly Average

We gathered each other through a mutual friend, Colin Smith. Glenn Behenna worked in the steel industry, as a member of the constabulary (a cop), went back to school, and now he is a Senior Lecturer and Senior Fellow at University of Wales Trinity St. David. He didn't hit his academic stride early, though as he says, "It must have been in there somewhere." We explore culture, society, education, government, "legislated inoffensiveness," change and hope. A couple of well-seasoned guys who...

Peter Cook - Bring Their Brains to Work

Music, toxic HR culture, confounded with structure, 'I cycled through the pandemic,' moral hazard and money to be made, exam strategies and rock songs, and then our conversation took off. How can you not like listening in on a conversation with Peter Cook, who wrote Sex, Leadership and Rock N 'RolI: Leadership Lessons from the Academy of Rock?We're each (and both) proponents of a world where jobs encourage people to bring their brains to work.

Michael Padurano - Showering in the Dark

We can be successful in business, outwardly merry, envied and admired. At the same time, we may be carrying a corrosive load of trauma, unhealed emotional and spiritual bruises that can lead to broken relationships, thoughts of suicide, and addictions both behavioral and chemical.Spend some time with Michael Padurano and me as we explore the pain that leads to showering in the dark, and the redemption of a healing oasis.

Mission Hope

As a fellow writer and editor, I really appreciate Mac’s interviews. I am fascinated by what I learn and am able to glean from both him and his guests. So much so, that in his recent interview with Mark O’Brien I found myself listening several times. Starting and stopping, going back to take notes, it is really powerful and enlightening. Thank you Marc for inspiring your listeners who are writers, to become better in their process. Fantastic!
