1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,520 Speaker 1: I'm blessed with the opportunity to share conversations with some 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,719 of the most creative people on the planet today. And yes, 3 00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:08,599 we do talk about how creativity is that one thing 4 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,960 that we just crave. We can't get enough of it, 5 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,640 and if we aren't producing it, it drives us insane. 6 00:00:14,359 --> 00:00:17,320 I believe it's an addiction unplugged because we will always 7 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,239 say yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes, 8 00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:23,839 So turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged. Well, 9 00:00:23,879 --> 00:00:27,199 here we are readjusting our thoughts in paths to fit 10 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,120 into the revealing of a brand new day. Do you 11 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,839 ever sit back and just say, how is this thing 12 00:00:31,839 --> 00:00:35,200 going to play out? Does anybody really know what time 13 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,719 it is? How much time is being spent asking about 14 00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:44,399 events that haven't even happened yet. In the world of podcasting, 15 00:00:44,679 --> 00:00:49,119 I prep every interview days in advance. Not that I 16 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,920 can't handle a live show, but I want to know 17 00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:55,479 what every conversation is going to be like, to have 18 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,119 a safety net when the answer that they give is 19 00:00:59,159 --> 00:01:03,600 a cold and lone. Yeah, yeah, That's all I'm going 20 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,159 to get is yeah yeah. But here we are setting 21 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,840 our hearts up to move through this opportunity or gift. 22 00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:16,959 We are so incredibly lucky to receive this day, this moment. 23 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,599 We can be selfish, we can make it all about us, 24 00:01:20,879 --> 00:01:24,840 or we can find newer ways to share our days. 25 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,400 How heavy is that decision? Is it about you? Or 26 00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:33,879 are you going to share it? Ooh hey, Sarah? This 27 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,760 is the daily Mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world. 28 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,079 I am a daily writer. Here we are, That's what 29 00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:42,799 I like to write about. Where are we? How are we? 30 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,959 Where will we be there? And if we don't make 31 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,439 it there? What's next? But right now here we are? 32 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,959 That's what daily writing is. This is the daily mess. 33 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,519 When was the last time? That's a big question in 34 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,519 an ever changing time in global history, the last time? 35 00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:04,439 When was the last time? Was it like a great 36 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,080 time or a changing time? How did you handle such 37 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,800 a time? Now? Because I am that daily writer, I 38 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,599 get to work out what little time is available. Inside 39 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,960 these twenty nine years of writing, I've stared into the 40 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,039 eyes of many last times. My last time on terrestrial radio, 41 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:29,000 my last time as a bowler in the Men's League ABC. Yeah, 42 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,360 the last time. We all have last times, many of 43 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,400 which hurt so deeply that I've had to figure out 44 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,879 how to handle the outside emotions because what I was 45 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,520 sharing became the last time. Getting to the last time 46 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,639 requires a story, a journey, some demand and exploration, while 47 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,599 other last times aren't worth the weight that we're carrying. 48 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,439 When was the last time you were here? Or is 49 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,879 this your first time? Are we wasting your time trying 50 00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:07,000 to fit inside your last time? The last time I 51 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,159 mowed my backyard was in nineteen ninety seven. Oh, there's 52 00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:14,199 a reason why it was the last time, because I 53 00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:18,759 turned it all into a beautiful forest, seventeen hundred trees 54 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:25,240 that now feature hawks, owls, deer, beautiful black squirrels. Really, 55 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,360 we have them in my neighborhood. We really do in 56 00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:32,599 this forest the last time? Do you ever think about it? 57 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,719 Is it supposed to be the last time? You're supposed 58 00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:37,400 to even have any connection with it because it is 59 00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:40,879 the last time? How do you handle situation like that? 60 00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:44,680 Do you grow beyond it? Since it was your last time? 61 00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:48,080 What was that next step? Was it a learning step? 62 00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:52,240 Was it a on demand step? The last time I 63 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,360 was hooked up to cable TV was about maybe ten 64 00:03:55,439 --> 00:04:00,240 years ago because there was a new thing called streaming. Yeah, 65 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,560 when was the last time I caught up on a 66 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,719 good binge watch? The last time I spoke to my 67 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,240 mother was many years ago because of a family squabble 68 00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:14,719 and my sister wouldn't let me near my mother. That's 69 00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:17,040 getting real. That was the last time. That's the last 70 00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:19,439 thing I'm holding on to when it comes to that 71 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,240 moment I had with her. The last time is a 72 00:04:24,319 --> 00:04:28,480 learning point. It's a growing period in the way of saying, look, 73 00:04:29,399 --> 00:04:34,920 I'm brand new every day. The last time I thought 74 00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:39,319 about this, I think this is the first time I'm marrow. 75 00:04:39,519 --> 00:04:41,240 And that's the daily mess.
