  Speaker 1: The reason why there's twenty different podcasts is simple. In radio,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: we're taught one thought per break. Why would I want
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to put football stars with y A authors or chefs?
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: That's why you got to visit Arrow dot net a
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: r r oe dot net. Twenty different podcasts. One of
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the favorites something our parents would say, all of those
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: things that would make us go, what well it started somewhere?
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Something our parents would say only on Arrow dot net
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: aar r Oe dot net. Enjoy your exploration, hey, zero,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: And this is vocal dfrag.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Vocal d fragging is taking the time to ask yourself
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the questions and then question the answers, which can be
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: a very difficult challenge for so many different people because
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: we don't want to face the image in the mirror.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: And then, Mad, I'm telling you what. That image in
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: the mirror is there every day from the very first
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: moment that your mother showed you in that mirror when
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: you were just ANDYBD and now as an adult, wherever
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: you are in your side your chapters, that mirrored this
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: is you. And the thing is is that we're choosing
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: not to ask ourselves the questions and then question the answers.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: What we're doing is we're running to other people and
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: asking them for their advice. I'm not a person who's
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: going to invest in that. I mean, they can give
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: me an idea, they can kind of coax me along,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: they can encourage me, they can bring things into focus,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: but is it the best investment. Sometimes we can say yes.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Other times we're just another number and we are checked
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: off that list just as fast as we found ourselves
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: on it. This is vocal defragging, asking yourself the questions
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and questioning the answers, which goes totally out the window
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: when you and I we find ourselves actively involved with
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: something that is going to generate energy from our creative imaginations.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: And what I mean by that is is that you
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: could be working on a project at your house, trimming
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: up the trees, something in the yard, and you get
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: that energy level movie very quickly. It could be something
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: inside your house that you're working on the kitchen, the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: living room, the deck. It could be your job. They're
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: asking you to do something in the community where we're
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: going to bring people together by way of offering food, books,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: or even clothing. You know, how we get ourselves actively involved.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: It all requires creativity. Nothing just happens. That's the thing
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: about it is that you have got to have yourself
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: some sort of path. And if you're gonna rely on
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: ad lib as well as improv to be your only
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: direction in life, well then you've got to think of
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: yourself as being a performer at the Apollo in New
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: York City. If you suck, they're gonna tell you they're
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: gonna flat out just boo your ass right out of
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the picture and right out of that story. So you've
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: got to make that choice. What are you going to
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: do when it comes to asking yourself the questions and
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: then question any answers. So then my process today is
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: is that what happens in those moments when you do
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: fulfill the intended goal. You've set your intentions, you have
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: your vision, you planned it all out, you execute it,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: it's done. What next? That's the area of life that
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I call post production blues. I believe even my mother
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: had post production blues. And she never did a day
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: of radio in her life. She didn't perform on any stages.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: She just was mom. And I don't want to make
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: that look like it's a small job, because there's no
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: such thing as just a mom. It's a performance no
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: matter where you're going or growing. But during those moments
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: when you have achieved what you intended to accomplish, where
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: do you go? Do you live off the high? How
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: long did that high last? What happens when you get
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: a loan in the car and the radio isn't playing
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: your favorite song and Spotify just flat out sucks. What
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: happens when you are left in a situation of being
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: in a place of nothing but you. But it required
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: an entire team to get that intended goal in forward
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: motion and successful, and then you're by yourself. That is
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: what all of this is about, because through thick and thin,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: no matter how glorious or victorious your life can be,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: you still have to face you that image, that heart,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: that voice in your head, that next decision. Is it
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: going to be positive? Is it going to be? Man?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: If I was on an airplane right now, and if
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I could open up that door and just jump out,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I would oh oh, oh, oh have you been there?
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Have you thought about it? Oh? I'm just driving down
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: this highway. I could just slam on the brakes right now,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: come to a complete halt, no matter what happens behind me.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: At least I did something. Yeah, Because we'll always put
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: something like a negative vibration right here in front of
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: us and then try to write it off mentally. Do
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: you ever question it? Do you ever ask yourself the
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: questions and then question the answers. It's not always a
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: pretty picture, but it is a step in a direction
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: of helping you during those moments when the intentions were
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: met success or failure were met, and you're now all
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: by yourself, your co workers, your family, everybody's gone. It's
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: just you pretty much standing in the mirror, looking at
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: yourself in the rear view mirror in the car, or
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: just you listening to that voice in your head and heart.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: What's the saying, Ask the questions, question the answers. I
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: call it vocal defragging.
