97: My Rocks Collected At Malibu Beach, And Super Bowl Party
Glad to have you back on episode 97. Some of us like collecting things, and I recently collected a bunch of rocks when at Malibu Beach, and many of them are nice. In this episode, I discuss:
the colors and shapes of the rocks I collected
people around the beach who saw the collecting and noticed
what I might do with the rocks, and how they look
the super bowl party that we had, and how it was inclusive
These rocks were publicly available, and I went and searched them out. This is a nice message about life, in that some things you like are already out there waiting for you. I might find more later. Glad for your listening~

96: Shout Out Sunday To The People, And Happenings As Of Late
Sometimes you want to update about what is occurring, and shout out the people who make things or do things you know about. This is a nice thing you can do regularly. The people around us are the people we can connect with. In this episode, I discuss:
Toby Emerson and his cool music I have used on my Youtube and here
Gary Kazazian music I used for intro, and his planned gig at The Mint
Kenny bringing NotSocks to the people who want socks but not socks
Gary Vee and his latest book Crushing It that is out in the public
Alex and his EDM music I used as an intro, and his music-making
Alicia from earlier episode bringing life to life, and also clothes/gems
Jane with the Grayson power plant expansion and good fitness
People are our world, and we have to shout them out as applicable. We can do more things if we reach out and try connecting in different ways.
