No More Labels

Listen to "No More Labels" on Spreaker. While in prayer this morning this thought fell from my journey moving forward "A question of who and what is really in control of the human need." Obviously I must have spent some time reading CNN.com, ABCNEWS.com and visited a local television station website and none of them are on the same page. Is it journalism or are we satisfied with getting points of view. I'm extremely guilty of putting stuff on social media with all strings connected to something that's been experienced. It doesn't make me a top dog reporter or a valued go to guy for the news but every level of the industry is going in multitudes of direction with no true solid line of these are the facts. No wonder anxiety levels are starting to bring medical experts to the new front line. I have three interviews today with people that deal with where so many real people with real problems are headed and one of them is a doctor that foresees a huge rise in Opioid use in America. Young adults are looking for a quick release from these uncertain times and what do you think they're reaching for? A question of who and what is really in control of the human need. One of the hardest hit most invisible places of what will probably never be talked about is what its going to be like for regular people to return to an eight hour job under the strict control of a company that needs performers to keep the company out of bankruptcy. What are you doing as an employee of any business to recondition yourself for your return to Corporate rules and structure? I'm on day 37 of quarantine. Our Zoom meetings are amazing because each of us involved in every project are equal. There are absolutely 100 percent no labels. We're all playing the same game with no company ladder to wave in your process of building success. Once you get back will you return to fearing that email or phone call from the boss to see him or her in their office? Will you be more giving to the company purely gripped by the fear of if you don't you'll be fired? No more labels! We need to learn from this social distancing that we all bring something to the center of the story and in order to regain a relationship with clients it has to start with being who the client is freshly delivered to a new world. No more labels. We must remain equal.

Jenny Boyd

Listen to "Jenny Boyd Releases The Book Jennifer Juniper" on Spreaker. When fashion and pop culture intersected during the Swinging '60's in London, she was swept up into both worlds. A promising young model for cutting edge designers, she worked in Carnaby Street by day and danced at the city's most popular clubs at night where the music of the best of the British Invasion was showcased. She was Beatle George Harrison's (and later Eric Clapton's) sister-in-law, she married Mick Fleetwood, founder member of Fleetwood Mac, twice, and she was entrenched in the rock 'n roll world of fame, money, drugs and betrayal. She accompanied The Beatles to Rishikesh in Northern India in 1968 to study meditation at the ashram of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and worked in the Beatles' Apple boutique in London. It was during her 10-year marriage to rock and jazz drummer Ian Wallace that Jenny Boyd stopped her rock and roll lifestyle and went back to school, becoming a research psychologist and author with a Ph.D in Human Behavior. Bridging her two disparate paths, her Ph.D dissertation about musicians and the creative process morphed into a book that was first published in 1992 and later updated and reissued in the US and UK in 2014 under the title IT'S NOT ONLY ROCK 'N' ROLL. She has effectively lived two lives, both of them extraordinary.

Wht If The Planet Needed A Rest

Listen to "What If The Planet Needed Rest" on Spreaker. I walked into the morning air at 5:30 am and literally heard four owls tossing vocals back and forth through the forest. Loud, robust, vibrant and message making. Because I've studied animal spirituality for decades I did take a moment to sit and listen. To become part of the circle of conversation. The owls visit means conserve your energy until the times right. Be observant of your surroundings. Owls normally sit in silence. Remove yourself from the noise. Remember owls can see through darkness. Heavy heavy right? Our days have been overtaken by something we can't see nor can our bank accounts predict. Uncertainty is generating a new wave of anxiety to which we are seeing at our state capitols. Exercising that voice is what we've always done. Until election day or the moment Johnny's school is holding a fund raiser and they need some funding to buy books or sports equipment. Then that voice tends to lean in an opposite direction. First... I grasp the get back to work drive. I want this nation to be stronger than what it was in January and February 2020. My only question is based on where have these protesters been for the other problems we've endured as people? I'm not challenging anyone to do anything but be themselves beyond this moment of speaking out and vocalizing freely. On this podcast we talk about the message of the owl. Mainly because its Earth Day. What? Yeah people used to protest for that too. But found reason to continue ripping down the trees and planting taller buildings and homes too large for the human to use. A couple of days ago a friend sent me a note expressing his love for the planet. He felt that maybe all of this is nothing more than the earth grabbing us by the nap of the neck and saying, "Ironman is a false idol and so is Tom Brady. Give me ten minutes of rest and we can get you back on the road." But no! We've chosen to fight the invisible beast. To take in six weeks of uncertainty and then shout out, "We're done!" What we need is unity. Right now we've got nothing more than choices to go in every direction beyond what we can control. If this didn't work yesterday or the day before we're going to try this then that oh wait how about this? The planet needs a rest. It tried to bring you onboard but oh well. Guess its back to what we truly know. Get up. Go to work. Bitch about our jobs. Hate the boss. Go home and complain about nothing being on television. Only to get up. Go to work. This isn't a new normal. Its a new texture that should include your voice being heard at work. Build your new tomorrow by physically beginning a process of participating with progress. Lets get back to work but lets do it in a way that makes us more than paycheck collectors. You know what unemployment feels like now. Push beyond it.
