1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction. Unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,719
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes,

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,000
So turn it into a tool. This is Arrow unplugged,

4
00:00:10,919 --> 00:00:14,720
a day of challenge, sitting right here on the sidelines.

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,920
Like all games, it'll soon be put into play. How

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,320
it goes is based solely on the mindset. In all

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,600
things prepared for, there's always a sense of risk. To

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,079
get to the soul of the story means paying attention

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,159
to the answers. It could lead to a subject not

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,280
yet covered by other journalists or broadcasters. How I do

11
00:00:36,359 --> 00:00:38,920
my conversations is how I act and react in the

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,079
outside world. Now. Sadly, this is the bad part about

13
00:00:42,119 --> 00:00:45,560
being an interviewer. Those that I stand with in the

14
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,640
outside world, they give off this vibration of me wanting

15
00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:53,640
to know too much. Asking questions then questioning the answers

16
00:00:53,759 --> 00:00:57,679
makes people feel uneasy. They know I didn't buy into

17
00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:00,679
their half heartedness. As a real person who happens to

18
00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:03,000
do famous people interviews, I kind of want to get

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
better answers because it deepens the conversation and connection. Hey zero,

20
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:10,359
and this is the daily mess. A chronological walk through

21
00:01:10,359 --> 00:01:13,799
an everyday world. I am a daily writer. I find

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,400
great conversations coming from out of nowhere. I mean, somebody's

23
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,239
got to start the conversation. So this is what I do.

24
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,760
I daily write and then we have a conversation here,

25
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,280
hoping that maybe you'll have a conversation on your side

26
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,560
of the planet. This is the daily mess, learning from

27
00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:34,519
the challenges of sharing thoughts. Not days, but for years.

28
00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:39,400
My writing has always been easily misunderstood, which is why

29
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,879
I'd rather have face to face time, or let's just

30
00:01:41,879 --> 00:01:44,719
get together on the smartphone and have a conversation through

31
00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:48,840
my written word. What I think is uplifting and informational

32
00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:51,799
is actually interpreted by other people who feel like, well

33
00:01:51,879 --> 00:01:54,560
that was an attack. Now drop in a few cuss words,

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,959
even though I use them as street speak expressions. The

35
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:03,079
receiver feels something's wrong with this dude. He's in a mood,

36
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:05,359
which I believe is the very reason why I take

37
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,240
my morning writing into the studio to share it. I've

38
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,639
always called it from the sofa to the studio. If

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,520
all you had were the words on this page right here,

40
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,199
through experience, there is a huge chance that you're going

41
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,960
to find it as an attack and or judgment, when

42
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,800
in reality it's a showcase on being closer to the

43
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,560
story something that could be crucial. We go places with

44
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,080
our words to help inspire, to influence, to build communities,

45
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,960
to create that outreach, or to stand up and just

46
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,719
have a voice so that other people can become aware

47
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,840
of what is going on in their community. Believing in

48
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:47,599
the power of the word. Don't just hold them in

49
00:02:48,199 --> 00:02:52,840
share them, but know how people are receiving your words.

50
00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:55,960
Put some sound in it. We need to hear your inflection.

51
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,639
Don't just send out a bunch of words, don't send

52
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,599
an email, don't get on social media and just boot it.

53
00:03:03,199 --> 00:03:06,840
Let people hear your voice. Then to see your face.

54
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,400
Do you have the courage for that? Take a chance.

55
00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:11,479
I'm Marril and that's the daily mess.
