The Main Focus

Listen to "The Main Focus" on Spreaker. There is no struggle like trying to keep your eyes off the latest headlines. A billion different paths headed in every direction. A popular vote being the main candidate for the new alignment of the stars. Entering our sixth week of social distancing and the armchair quarterback sideline opinions are brutally using the power of inflection to convince those playing by the rules how wrong it is to take uncertainty and trust its invisible ability. On this podcast I flat out ask why is it we think we're God? Five weeks of this is enough. Everybody wipe the dirt off your knees lets get moving! I just responded to a preacher who had reached out to me. He wanted to know how things are. I'm not shy from speaking the awareness of now. The most uncertain part of this unwritten chapter is in the next few weeks. The armchair quarterbacks have their systems of needing comfort and security and getting back to work is that one and only way. I get it. I lost every job. What we have failed to remember in this time of methods being challenged and personal journeys always under attack by those that know best... Pause. Breathe. You ready? February 2020 the reports showed an amazingly high number of employees on the Corporate American front that hated their jobs and were choosing new careers. They hated their bosses and couldn't handle the hardcore hours of expected workloads. So... its only two months later and its time to get back to the show? If you think the pressure was on you in February 2020 wait until you get back in those four walls and face a company needing to survive. You're gonna hear the same speeches of how you are valuable and you are needed more today than any other time. But you aren't conditioned for that critical adventure yet. You've had six weeks to get your mind body and soul refocused on the main character. You. I honestly can't wait to get back to work. What I don't want to see is the workload that's going to be so heavy for us that its gonna generate another fear in life. You're going to leave. Sure right now, decision makers and company owners are equally involved in this journey. The moment those doors open it's game time. What is your main focus? I didn't ask about your bosses main focus is. I asked you. Your boss is gonna look like Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan. Dodging every bullet and bomb all in the name of winning this war. Do you ever truly go back to those scenes in the movie and study the entire picture. The main focus isn't Tom Hanks surviving but look at the entire process. The people falling next to Tom Hanks. Where is your main focus as we grow forward. Is it about comfort and security, the need to feel like you belong or a wishful thought of damn it lets go back to where you had better control during the social distancing days? You've got to face your truth. Grab a journal and begin a process of listening to yourself. Locate your main focus and decide who should get credit for the time and energy required to reboot America.

Play It Forward Episode 24

WARNING DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME OR ANYWHERE Listen to "Play It Forward Episode 24 Theres No Laughter In Truth Steve Kramer" on Spreaker. Hey it’s Arroe. This is Play It Forward. A look at the unexpected changes endured by entertainers, writers, camera people and all others affected but not infected by the global invasion of the Coronavirus. The goal is to feature two different types of episodes. The individual conversations as well as a collected array of the entire picture. Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward. Episode 24: There’s no comedy in truth I’d love to the see the numbers of how many people on the planet are bombarded every day by family, friends, coworkers and someone you happened to have met walking out a Pizza place that has developed a hardcore opinion about what the hell is going on. There’s so much information being shoved into every corner of this social media driven world that I’m convinced the planet Saturn is leaving the universe because of so much confusion. Look! I lost a lot of friends because of the last Presidential election. What little were left are bailing because I don’t see eye to eye with what they think the Coronavirus is and how this situation should be played out. Taking a huge serious foot forward is comedian Steve Kramer. Absolutely by far one of the most brilliant impersonation slash musician slash all around funniest comedians on the planet. Which is why I was taken back by his invitation to meet someone that would give him Covid-19 so he can do his own research on how it hits him and beyond. First. I am not promoting what Steve has decided to come forward with. Nor do I wish for any other person to think they can do it to. Not just Steve. We’re all in a moment of global uncertainty. I’m a journalist that’s been introduced to a story. What you’re about to listen to is the unedited full conversation with a man that wants nothing more than truth. Not conspiracy theories. Not false research, propaganda answers and or politically driven protection devices keeping people in office. The truth…

Pod-Crashing Episode 52

Listen to "Pod-Crashing Episode 52 Programming" on Spreaker. Pod-Crashing Episode 52 Programming Let’s lay it on the line. I’m not a Trouble Maker or Firestarter but I’ve always been a walker of my own way. I can openly admit that during the thirty three years I invested in Terrestrial Radio I drove a lot of decision makers and leaders over the edge. I truly love those that took that time weekly if not daily to sit me down in their nicely designed programming offices and calmly said, “I like how you try but every so often we need to pull you back. I’d rather have that on my team then someone that makes no attempt at being truly seen and or heard.” Does that mean without that brilliant programming staff and collection of radio consultants that I’m a rule breaker and ball buster on the digital platform? Well… after this episode you’ll have a clearer picture of why people have been known to say, “There are several different ways people host and post their podcasts. You know exactly what you’re going to get when you tap into the source of sound. You can’t say that about Arroe.” I’m absolutely without a doubt 1,000 percent all over the place! But rarely does anyone stop to ask why. They just accept that I’m a weird guy. It all begins with how I program podcasting. What? I know. Drop the vocal tracks. Clean it up. Post the monkey and watch the fans visiting the vocal zoo try to feed the animals. Yeah ok but that’s not me. I look at podcasting the same way I see programming a radio station. It’s not right or wrong in a world still discovering its shape and identity. First let me clarify a serious point of direction. The only reason why I never took the required steps to grow into a pair of radio programming slippers is because of the enormous amount of people that literally knew me best. The experience was like the old Cheech and Chong bit. Look! What is it? Looks like dog dung. What? Yeah! Taste. What? They knew I’d drive people totally insane with unheard of expectations and that’s not fair to a creative mind and spirit. Come on… In 2020 there’s a huge chance you’ve heard and created podcasting and have developed your own opinion as to whether it is or isn’t for you. It really is the Wild West and there are a lot of performers that aren’t in the mood or mindset to reset their sense of freedom. It’s gung ho or no go. I totally grasp the concept of putting everything on the hook and seeing whatever fish is willing to bite in an ocean so large science won’t even touch it. I first began programming podcasts in 2015. Watching how listeners were popping in for lengthy periods of time listening to several episodes at once I knew I needed to provide a variety of guests rather than focusing on music and movies. The mission was to bring more lifestyle into the Unplugged and Totally Uncut picture. People Magazine is brimming with every sort of interview. We needed to be part of that circle of content. At the time I was hosting three different podcasts. Each one had its own personality but in order to get more reach I needed to cross-pollinate the episodes. Which meant it was time to figure out who was tapping in and why. While creating an umbrella effect of podcasts I still needed to find focus for listeners that didn’t want to see camera people teamed up with musicians. So that introduced another podcast that was streamlined to bringing those conversations on demand. Paying close attention to what’s posted is a full time job. View From The Writing Instrument is about authors, songwriters and anybody else that depends on using words to get their art out there. As the program director I had to exercise caution in the way of never putting two published books up back to back. The bigger bang was coming from the presented variety. My side of the business of podcasting was to study how each episode was performing. It the manuscript writers were hauling butt then I had to think about giving them their own podcast. I talk to a lot of doctors and have yet to give them their own space. The hits are there but is it worth being a standalone podcast? I host another podcast titled Like Its Live. It lives up to its name. Every conversation is posted unedited like its live. I took a chance on listeners wanting something that wasn’t edited. To be on the edge just as I am when I pop out an odd ball question with a huge hole of dead air at the end. These conversations are later edited and placed under different umbrella podcasts. The Lyrics From Billy’s Forest won’t ever make it to Unplugged and Totally Uncut. There are certain motivational episodes that would push listeners away like a bad Country song. The same is true with the episodes found on Creativity The Addiction. Unless it has something to do with what the main umbrella is trying to project then it can’t go up for the sake of having something new. Programming my podcasts was a huge gamble in 2015 mainly because the early years for me were about locating a platform that would push what I do out there a little further than most. I didn’t want to be compared to anyone. It had to be its own image or I’d walk away. That meant trusting the gut and tucking in the chin. The programming logs are totally taken from the way terrestrial radio does its game. When you pull back and look at the entire picture a new episode on all the podcast features something new going up every hour. Sixteen different podcasts. One of them always has a new feature. They all fit under the biggest umbrella labeled Arroe Collins. Programming hours are extremely important. The only hours for Unplugged and Totally Uncut are 7 10 1 4 10pm View from the Writing Instrument 8 11 2 5 11pm The Choice’s hours are 9 12 6 and 9pm Whereas Like it’s live is midnight til six in the morning. So what’s the moral of the story? Play with it til you break it. Pick it back up. Glue it together then get ready to break it again. Crafting your sound and image doesn’t just happen. It requires chance and a lot of work. Make it yours. Unique and worthy. Don’t stop at what you think a podcast is. Living it like it’s the greatest thing on the planet. Or like Gene Simmons says nobody will believe it is.
