I was always iffy on that musical, so it was great to get some validation from podcasting royalty like Sabrina Miller. I am continually inspired by each person I interview on the podcast and how the passion for what they do is evident in the way they talk and the light in their eyes. With Sabrina, that was definitely true when she talked about her love of theater, but even more so when she talked about being a mom to the always adorable Jack. I have great respect for all the juggling and work that parents do, and for single parents like Sabrina, I am in complete awe. 

Being that this was a shorter episode, it allowed me to reflect on what ultimately leads someone to bet on themselves. In my experiences, the projects I'm most proud of have been inspired by some of the not so successful endeavors, which is why I kick off the episode encouraging you to get more failure in your life.  As one of my favorite bands sings "through adversity, there is redemption". 

Many thanks to Sabrina for taking the time out of her busy schedule to sit down with me, I learned a lot and think you will too. 

about how they remain creative while juggling all of life's responsibilities. I had a really great conversation with Emily & Clyde, in fact I'm pretty sure we could have our own radio show (is that still a thing?). I must give a huge shout out to this awesome couple who volunteered to be the first in what I'm hoping will become a series of interviews with creative parents. I know that Emily was nervous before we sat down, but as you will hear she sounds like a natural and she and Clyde together are like a comedy duo with perfect timing.  I really appreciate their candor and honesty about their life which allowed us to cover a wide range of topics including talking to kids about drug use, the unrealistic expectations put in place by porn (hence the "explicit" rating), what it means to be a man in 2013, action figure collecting and the wonder that is the Multnomah County Library! 

I laughed during the interview and the entire time I was editing, such a great time. I know you will all enjoy it as much as I did.  For ongoing goodness from the Bailey's you can follow Emily @anemilyb and Clyde @winwordsclyde on Twitter!

This was my second experience with a "Podcast in the Park", so if you're listening to this in your cube trying to make it through the week, enjoy the interview as well as the sounds of the outside world. 

Thanks again Emily & Clyde! 

Another Monday in the books and another inspiring episode to help get you through the week! Lisa Goren and I have been friends for more than 10 years and have shared some great conversations and I'm happy to report what you're about to listen to doesn't disappoint. As long as I've known Lisa, I still learned a lot about her during our talk, including what inspired her to transition from talent agent to healthcare. Since our talk, I've been searching for a copy of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, so if you have a copy send it my way. 

As a fellow speaker, I have always had great respect for the work Lisa does and how she continually connects and inspires her audiences. I think after listening to her interview you'll understand what I mean. 

Have a great week, enjoy the episode and remember to always Bet On You!
