#AudioMo Day 28

Dave Winer, the American software developer, often talks about natural-born bloggers or NBBs. This got me wondering if people like us, who participate in #AudioMo are NBPs.

It's #Audiomo Day 20 and I'm back on the home front trying to get into the groove of the daily grind.

It's #audiomo Day 19. Today's cast is inspired by the radio legend that is the late Joe Frank.Music:Sleepy + Hungry by BaegelUnfettered by Jobii

I couldn't participate in #audiomo without doing at least one cast on music. 

It's #AudioMo Day 7.In today's audioblog, I take a quick detour and share in the frustration that @daylightgambler and @katesparkle expressed earlier in the week before diving into my main topic of lists. I share my thoughts on Lisa Nola and Nathaniel Russell's book, Listography: Your Life in Lists.

It's Day 6 of #audiomo or audio bloggers' month. Today, I talk briefly about this idea of feeling a sense of belonging at work. Do you feel psychologically safe enough at work to be your authentic self? Do you feel a sense of belonging that allows you to flourish as an individual?h/t: @julianstodd

In which I explain my absence, hint at my new mission, being amazed at the depth of personal intelligence and its effect on success, turning the dial all the way up for a more impassioned life and remembering to structure my day so that my best self shows up.

So the question of purpose has popped back on the scene today courtesy of Mark Manson's newsletter which I receive. What is my purpose? Am I living a life of purpose?It's a timely question for me because I have been questioning my motivation. What is it exactly that I am trying to do and for what purpose? As Agent Smith says, without purpose we have nothing. Without purpose, we would not exist.It was purpose that created usPurpose that connects usPurpose that pulls usPurpose that guides usPurpose that drives usIt is purpose that defines usPurpose that binds usSo again, what is my purpose?

Even the best of us get tripped up by the things we preach about regularly. And today, I got tripped up, but I quickly caught myself, made the necessary adjustments, and then soldiered on.My final conclusion on time is this: the only time you truly don't have time to do something is when you're dead.

Keep moving forward. One of a handful of mantras, I keep in my back pocket, ready for recall when I need them. And this week, I had to remind myself that regardless of setbacks, I must keep moving forward, even sometimes if that means leaving someone behind.Don't read too much into this. Nothing drastic has happened. But I have had to make some changes to one of my projects.In this episode, I'll update you on what's going on in the soulcruzer creatorverse.As always, thanks for listening.Peace and love,ClayTip Jar

Do you consider yourself a good listener? If so, how do you know you're a good listener? The thing is most of us don't really listen. We half-listen.While we should be listening fully, we are instead, thinking about our reply or listening for a pause so we can jump in with our stuff.I set a listening challenge for you on this episode. Let me know how you get on.And as always, if you like this episode, consider sharing it with a friend.

You might recognize the title as something Popeye used to say when he got fed up and was ready to take charge of the situation he was in. This episode is that moment for you, where you recognize you are who you are and that's all that you are and that's a good thing. It's the first step to liberation.Shoutout to Lolly Daskal for providing the inspiration for this episode.

I've talked about this a number of times in the past, but, you know, it never hurts to remind ourselves of life's little truisms that help us ease our minds and boost our mental health.I know stoicism is in fashion at the moment with the likes of Ryan Holiday and Tim Ferris waxing lyrical about it, but that's not why I'm talking about it. I've been a practitioner of stoicism for a long time. It helped me through my army days and has continued to be my grounding philosophy of life, along with existentialism. I read a piece on High Existence that prompted me to talk about stoicism on the podcast today.If you're into audio, make sure you subscribe to my newsletter where I share curated and created audio stories, personal narratives, found sounds, and social radio.Peace and love to you.Support independent podcasting.Clay

This piece from Anne Alexander really resonated with me. I'm guilty of burning the candled at both ends as well as multitasking like a fiend, two things that are not so good for our attention, which turns out, is a superpower if you cultivate it.I'm looking forward to reading Peak Mind, by DR Amishi Jha a neuroscientist who has done extensive research on how our attention works. She shares a great beginner's technique for starting a mindfulness practice. It's called STOP. I'll walk you through it on the podcast.Thanks for listening and sharing the podcast with your network, much appreciated.Peace and love to you.Support independent podcasting.

Shout out to DR Raman K Attri for providing the inspiration for this cast. You can check out his post Addicted to Success.I've been shuffling about in creative neutral these past couple of months, consolidating my thinking, figuring out what feels right to carry forward into 2022! What? 2022?! Yeah, that's right, I'm already thinking about the gig for next year. I like to start early so I can hit the ground running at the start of the year.I mention starting up Wisdom Radio podcast, but on reflection, I think I'll just keep things simple and podcast from here - soulcruzer.Anyway, thanks for listening and sharing the podcast with your network, much appreciated.Peace and love to you.Support independent podcasting.

We couldn't resist the unseasonably warm weather. So what did we do? We hit the fields of Southam on our way to Napton on the Hill for a thirsty pint.
