Trusting the physical act of collaboration. Being a radio guy. It's always been a tough journey to share the reins of expectation with a partnership of presentation. I knew in my early days that I wasn't going to be a morning show host that features three to five others. Not that I'm stuck on myself or feel I'm greater than. I have a fear of being the lead actor who has to accept the responsibility of failure with each moment of victory. In my heart the best way to be in control of each meandering situation is to make it your own. The moment you start adding puzzle pieces to the corners of choice something ends up being misplaced. I have a difficult time with the avenues of trusting others to show up on time and in the mood to give 200%. Therefore I sit in the shadows of the daily performance being Paul McCartney and not the Beatles. On this podcast I go a completely different way when explaining the physical act of collaborating. Preachers versus Radio. Both are called to serve people. Both use separate languages. More than often those behind the pulpit stay free of the speaker junkie because the term media in 2018 is a dangerous tightrope. Collaborating with another creative soul means a lot of behind the scenes planning before the performance. Being who you are without the microphone is almost never the shape who you are while on the microphone. I classify myself as being an extremely boring person with a vision to succeed. I can't do that without a connection to a passerby. My path and or choice was to grow within the circle of Broadcasting and yet the soul was determined to serve by way of the pulpit. That's not the calling I was commanded to process. Take the knowledge of those in the church and make it a language for the street. Do it in a way that can be digested inside 15 to 30 seconds. I need those preachers and teachers. They know how to turn a book of poetry into lessons of growing. By way of collaboration and or an act of Sunday morning play by play it seems like a plan that could work. It doesn't. Interpretation of the word is the line in the sand. Not a negative. This is only a view of what it's like on this side of the microphone hearing God's command while being just another face in the stands.
