OJ POD: EPI-44: Reinventing Yourself From the Outside In: Jason Leister
Frequently, we're told to work on our Inner Selves to get the Outer World to look as we'd like. (That's a rough oversimplification of the advice but you get the point.) Jason Leister has a take on this that goes the other way … [Read more...]
OJ POD: EPI-43: The Chop Wood Carry Water Method for Getting Clients: Jason Leister
This is really all about Doing The Work. And it is something I struggle to do with any sort of consistency. In this site, I do loads of work, constantly. But the work is of a varied nature and often separate from the work that actively reaches … [Read more...]
OJ POD: EPI-42: The Slipper Is Dead. Long Live The Slipper!
The slipper came back. I don't know where the last one went. I don't know if this one's the other half of a pair. I don't know why it is where it is. I don't know who put it there or why. I just know that it's so damn OUT of place, and … [Read more...]

Hope that doesn't look like a nipple. Because it's a mole. A growth. On this guy's face. OK! Nipple disclaimers aside, let's get back to the issue of my growth! Just a lot of really cool events happening lately. None of them earth … [Read more...]
OJ POD: EPI-38: It Takes Guts To Be Me: Part II
Been an interesting few weeks since we last met! The stuff that has made up the gap between podcasts is varied and spread wide. The fight to deal with it all has been as much internal as it's been external. The message that's been forcing … [Read more...]
OJ POD: EPI-37: The One Thing
Just keeps getting more far out as I clarify my One Thing to the world and myself! My mind gets too busy for its own good many times. It's an offshoot of whatever it is within me that let bipolar disorder come to be in the first place. I'll … [Read more...]
OJ POD: EPI-36: Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland
There's a metaphor and a literalization embedded in today's title! Across the last 4 days, I've been locked inside a whirlwind of technical chaos. Most of this has turned out well, so far. Some is still settling out. All of it created a … [Read more...]
