My composer and dear friend, Perry Moore, and I recently created and aired our first Blog Talk Radio show, "Story Matters... Touching Lives with Our Stories." It was very fun to create and provided a huge learning curve for us. We wanted the show to be a valuable teaching time and an expression of our partnered gifts. And we knew, in order to reach our listeners in the middle of their day and on the web that we had to be of substance and not fluff talk.
On April 30th at noon (Pacific Time), dozens of people in the U.S. were listening (that's very good for a new show on blog talk radio!), including friends in Israel. One of the wonders about Blog Talk Radio is the fact that it is archived, almost immediately (listening navigation is below the newsletter). We know many more have listened to the archived show. Thank you for taking the time to do that. On a personal level, it was an astounding experience. I have done many radio interviews and my stories have been on radio, but I have never hosted a show. I broke a personal sound barrier! I took my desire to tell stories and coach others in storytelling to another level by bringing it into the mainstream forum of internet radio.
Now, breaking a personal sound barrier can be extraordinary if one is willing to take a little bit of a risk. Stay with me ... I am not talking about getting in a jet and blasting across the sky, but I'm using this as a metaphor for our communication with others. No doubt, you probably broke the sound barrier recently or a while ago. How you did it was very brave. You defeated and conquered. You rose above public speaking fears. You pushed aside the protection of excuses, and you directed your thoughts into an out loud and on purpose communication with one or more human beings.
