Listen to the Pro – My Daughter Lindsey
Now that the print edition of Soul Proprietor has been published, I am working to update the audio version as well. A few weeks ago I was so happy to have my daughter Lindsey come to CT to record the foreword she wrote for me. Foreword_Lindsey.mp3.
She’s such a pro! As a consultant to LinkedIn, she regularly gives webinars for them and is used to working with recording equipment. Walt Graham, my go-to sound person, was duly impressed.
We extended our time in the studio a bit, discussing the project with Walt and snapping some candids of the process.
A funny thing happened on the way to Lindsey’s arrival from NYC. In order to entice her to get on MetroNorth for this favor, I offered to treat her to a pedicure with my favorite practitioner. Lindsey was happy with the prospect of being pampered, so I was a tad disappointed when Monica, my pedicurist, texted me to let me know she would not be able to give the treatment as her mother required unexpected care in NJ. She canceled Lindsey’s appointment. Not an hour later Lindsey called to say she had a request. “Would it be okay with you if I don’t get the pedicure today? I really need to get back into the city.”
Sometimes things just work out so well.
After we left Walt’s place, Lindsey and I had time for a relaxing iced coffee at Starbucks near the train station. I hope you’ll take 3 minutes to relax and listen to Lindsey’s reading. If you’d then like a copy of the new edition of Soul Proprietor, click the title to order your copy.
Highlights from My Blog
Thank God Sam Horn wrote the book POP because owning it saved me from having to write down every word she spoke at the conference I attended last week in Waltham, MA. One phrase that particularly resonated for me, Sam dubbed the ‘empathy telescope.’ According to Sam, we are not able to stand in the shoes of thousands, but when the predicament of one is brought to our attention, our ‘empathy telescope’ zooms into action. How does this apply to you? Read more.
I took a scenic ride up route 136 yesterday to visit Sticks and Stones Farm, a place that has intrigued me since I heard about it. As we were walking the grounds, Annie told us that Sticks and Stones Farm is the only moss farm in the country that propagates its own moss. In addition, the New York Times refers to Tim Currier who owns the property as the most eccentric niche farmer in the state. Here are two USP’s – unique selling propositions – that capture the imagination and set this business and entrepreneur apart from all others. Read more.
My dear friend, Cookie (aka Marisabina Russo) turned the big 6-0 last month. To personally celebrate Cookie, I invited her to come to Kripalu with me, a first time visit for this good friend. While Cookie got her massage one of the evenings we were there, I attended a session entitled Power of Word presented by Danny Arguetty. Understandably, he talked about how much more there is to expression than simply the words that we use. I wrote down two things Danny said… Read more.
