  4. Oh hey, it’s been a while…

    Oh hey, it’s been a while…

    Welcome to the podcast! I’m out of time, I got four minute, only got four minutes…. 🎵 This is my intro, and normally I don’t sound like this—blame it on the cold. Apologies to Madonna and Timbaland for the disservice. It’s been nearly four years since I last recorded an episode. Honestly, it feels a bit scary after such a long break, especially since the podcast was intended for conversations with others, not just me talking to myself. Right now, I'm leaving this voice note on my iPhone to say welcome. If you’re new here, you might be wondering who this random guy is. Yes, this podcast is weird, different, unscripted, and unedited. I do add some intro and outro music though. I'm thrilled to be back on the mic and excited to bring you conversations with incredible creative people—makers, builders, crafters, artisans. That’s why the podcast has a new name: creator conversations. I've already recorded a few episodes and have more planned. In April, it will be 10 years since I first started writing online while commuting to my corporate job, dreaming of a different life. It's been a wild decade with ups and downs and travels to many countries. If you had told me 10 years ago that I'd be where I am now ~ ~ I wouldn’t have believed it. I want to keep this at four minutes because it's a good length to say what needs to be said without rambling. So, you're awesome and meant to be here. Stay tuned—this podcast is going to be great. I love you all 🫶 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
