Excerpts from the Intro

Ok, so I mentioned Shawn Shumway in the intro episode as being one of my longest-term friends and the man responsible for our original music here on Awakened Exchanges. That said, this was actually my first recorded interview, so it’s fairly appropriate that we start with Shawn. I kept this episode a little short, just in case I had trouble learning how to sync multiple mics, but I think we’ve worked out most of the kinks. 

If you were comparing Awakened Exchanges to the Joe Rogan Experience, then Shawn Shumway is likely to be seen as my Duncan Trussel. He’s probably going to be on a number of times, especially in the first year or two and our topics will be just as wide-ranging. I hope that you enjoy this conversation even half as much as I did and that you find something valuable in it that you weren’t expecting to find.
