Here’s a piece I created last year, but is now timely. The great and hilarious Billy Wayne Davis reached out, asking me to create a poster for his upcoming run of shows in Alaska. The one bit of guidance was “cold.”

Wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who came out to see me speak at PechaKucha last night at The Mill & Mine, all the kind words after. As mentioned, I abhor the sound of my own voice, and am not a fan of public speaking. But life is about facing those fears, otherwise what’s the point.

(cont’d) PechaKucha is all about quick, creative talks with a 20x20 format—20 slides, 20 seconds each—so it’s going to be fast-paced and, hopefully, fun. If you’re in Knoxville, come hang out for an evening of inspiring talks and community energy. Can’t wait to see y’all there!

Excited to share that I’ll be presenting at next week’s PechaKucha Knoxville! It’ll be about the journey with Ramblin’ Man. Where it started, what it’s become, and why storytelling on the record matters. (cont’d)

I started this poky little podcasting show seven years ago. In those seven years, there have been 192 episodes. I promote it only on IG, FB, and Bluesky, all of which have little to no following. But, somehow, I've slipped past the mark of 100,000 downloads*. It boggles the mind. 🧵
