February 13, 2020 04:07 - 12 minutes - 17.5 MB

Well, tonight started off a bit rough, but things improved dramatically after our first attempt was cut short due to good ol' Frontier internet service doing what it does best...dropping. So, I am in search of a robust, but not professional level video editing program and I was hoping to get a little word of mouth about one that someone listening may know of. Then, we round out the conversation with a discussion about the power of word of mouth advertising.  It's a good quick convo on ...

February 12, 2020 02:03 - 13 minutes - 18.4 MB

So many of us were "bullied" as kids from my generation, that it is looked at as a right of passage. But, does it need to be? Is that part of paying your dues? Does the fear of paying your dues keep you from trying new things?

10 MInutes In | Podfestation!

February 11, 2020 03:42 - 11 minutes - 16.3 MB

It's been an unexpected start to another exciting week! First, I managed to have another article published in the Podcast Business Journal.  This article talks about turning laughter into downloads.  I'm not trying to turn anyone into a comedian, but more than a few shows out there could benefit from an occasional laugh or two. Next up, I made a rather sudden decision to sign up for Podfest next month in Orlando!  I've wanted to go, but had already resigned myself to next year.  But, w...

Larry Yatch | The SEAL Mindset with Eric Hunley

January 28, 2020 11:00 - 59 minutes - 82.2 MB

First off, I have to give tremendous thanks to Eric Hunley of the Unstructured Podcast for guest hosting this episode of the show.  Along with the other guest hosts we’ve seen over the past few weeks, Eric went out of his way to help with the show while I continued to nurse my voice.  That said, I honestly believe he was an even better host and interviewer than I would have been for this particular guest. But, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous. Larry Yatch is truly one of the most u...

Michael Barnes | Non-Profit Innovations with Guest Host Tyson Franklin

January 21, 2020 11:00 - 38 minutes - 52.8 MB

This week I owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to my guest host, Tyson Franklin.  Tyson is a former guest of the podcast, episode 75 if memory serves me right, and the host of his own show, Podiatry Legends!  Yes, he's a podiatrist, but he actually helped me keep a leg up on the podcast!  If it wasn't for him, I'd be last Summer's flip flop with the podcast just drying in the sun. With values grounded in integrity, community, positivity and doing more with less, Michael Barnes and his A...

10 Minutes In - Date Trickery

January 03, 2020 03:56 - 12 minutes - 17 MB

I start this one off all fired up from a podcast episode I had just finished up with a TikTok influencer.  This was really exciting because TikTok is making huge strides in becoming more than just the latest short form content creation platform to soon go with way of Vine.  That episode will come out next Tuesday, so be sure and check it out! Now, why did I call this episode "Date Trickery"?  Because that is exactly what we talk about.  You NEED to hear this one, it could save you a ton o...

January 02, 2020 03:51 - 10 minutes - 14.3 MB

Well, it didn't take long, about 16 hours into the new year to be exact, before I found myself in a world of trouble.

10 Minutes In - Robot Edition

December 27, 2019 03:29 - 7 minutes - 10.4 MB

I gotta be honest, this is an episode I didn't really want to release, but sometimes you gotta take one on the chin. With no voice left, I was forced to come up with something that would allow me to still do the episode and still salvage what's left of my vocal chords.  So, the Robot Edition was born. We talk about New Year's Eve plans and more on this shorter than average episode.

10 Minutes In - Attitude of Gratitude

December 26, 2019 03:50 - 13 minutes - 19.4 MB

Merry Christmas everyone!  Thank you for being a part of the Readily Random family!  I appreciate it! Earlier today, after I'm sure all of the early morning Christmas festivities had subsided I found it interesting to see how long it took some folks to get back to normal.  In some cases, I was blown away.  Christmas trees on the curb by 8am, people looking for open stores and one that really got me...a mom was asking in a Facebook group if there was anyplace open that would be something f...

10 Minutes In - Christmas Eve

December 25, 2019 05:29 - 12 minutes - 17.1 MB

After an internal debate on whether or not a Christmas Eve episode would be something anyone would be interested in, I quickly found out that not only would folks be interested, but that they would join me for this episode of TMI!

10 Minutes In - Diamond in the Rough

December 22, 2019 06:05 - 10 minutes - 15 MB

This is a primary example of persistence.  My goal is to show up and hang out with everyone for at least 10 minutes and that's exactly what we did.  I assumed that most people would be out finishing up their Christmas shopping and it looked like that is what happened.  Topics this evening ranged from there only being 4 days left to get your shopping done to watching The Witcher on Netflix. So, take the next 10 minutes and check out this diamond in the rough!

10 Minutes In - Why I NEED to Podcast

December 21, 2019 04:08 - 12 minutes - 17.3 MB

During my daily surveying the landscape of the Facebook universe, I stumbled on an article out of our local Dallas Morning News newspaper.  It was an article written by a local comedian where she outlined why comedians do what they do regardless of how big the stage is.  It really spoke to me since comedy was such a huge influence on me my entire life and how podcasting has filled a similar creative void for me. Grab a tissue and snuggle up to your warmest bluetooth speaker and listen to ...

So, sing along...if you can.  We hear notes we...

10 Minutes In - Chop Socky

December 09, 2019 04:09 - 11 minutes - 15.4 MB

I made the mistake last night of commenting on a post online regarding the upcoming new Marvel movie, Shang-Chi.  I commented that although I don't believe it will change the world, it should be a fun "chop socky" flick.  Within seconds, my comment was flooded with replies crying racism at my reference.  Is "chop socky" racist, or just a dated term for a martial arts flick?

10 Minutes In - Smove Operator
