There's a lot of things happening in our lives right now. We thought the Coronavirus Covid-19 was extremely heavy to hold and move through. Have you looked at yourself in a mirror and asked the infamous question, "What now?" On this podcast episode we get into that thing called "Now" I live in the "Now" Its my daily discipline to remain truthful and faithful to why its extremely important to plant my feet only there. Because you have the power through awareness to control your "Now" The world right now may look bent out of shape with uncertainty but ultimately the decision you make right now has the strength to grow or fall completely apart. Its a choice. What I've taken note of are the enormous amount of Nows that don't belong in our Now. Your Now from yesterday at 3pm is still present and its interfering with how you should be thinking. That means your present place in the Now will probably interact with your Now in one hour. You can't help but be this way! It's not your fault! There's so much going on around us that we have lost control of what is Now. I love the idea that I've already forgotten about SpaceX Crew Dragon. That was my Saturday at 3:22pm Now. Then the docking on Sunday at 10:16am was in that place of Now. It's not been anywhere near me until Now. It's not disrespectful. It's having control of what you can control. Too many Nows playing over and over in your head and heart confuses your ability to find balance. Sadly I won't remember writing any of this. In five minutes it'll be my new Now.

Creating History

If the daily choice has been to push what doesn't agree with us away, where do we presently stand in history? Embracing the moment by way of growing with the experience. There's plenty of history but its being looked upon as being the bearer of bad times or moments that were once so incredible that how we are living today with social distancing, business closures and riots in our streets triggers our mindsets and abilities to not make the right choices inside these storm ravaged canyons caused by so much loss in such a short amount of time. We don't have what we once had, does that mean life sucks? That's what this podcast episode is all about. No life doesn't suck! It's about being present with the existence of what is... without there being judgement. No more doubt. No fear! We need to look at ourselves as students. Everyone of us! It's time to learn a new way of growing in directions that will help us be stronger inside history not yet born. Meaning... Put your focus, energy and beliefs on forward emotion. The past will never set you free until you are brimming with too much of the present. There won't be any room for the past. Being here. Right now. Not the weekend. It's over. It wasn't a fun one. The nation has spun in directions we can only compare it to. On Facebook this morning I wrote, "We can pray all day and all night for God to invite peace back to our streets. Not gonna happen. Peace starts in your heart. Your feet become the street." The difference we all bring has to be played out by moving forward. That's more than a decision. It's a life and style that requires time. The indifference we all bring stalls our process of recovery.

For all the right reasons. Bo Thompson's Century Podcast on WBT stands firm and extremely strong in motivating the Pied Pipers of Rock n Roll to step forward and preserve the history of the performers that somehow through thick, thin, sickness, mental defeat and one ratings book victory made it through the multiple layers of what Radio is and isn't.
Bo is brilliant in the way that he's honoring the legacy of a broadcasting stick that's been a huge presence in Charlotte, NC for ninety eight years. The company has honored the legendary talkers, community connectors and passion driven abilities of Grady Cole, Ty Boyd, HA Thompson to John Hancock.
For all the right reasons. During these moments of reshaping what a Broadcaster is, Bo Thompson is doing the right thing to bring the unheard stories forward. It serves as a huge inspiration and motivational step for all in this industry to stop. To take a few moments to remember not only where you've plugged in your earphones but who did it before you? Now write and produce the story.
What makes Bo's preservation of this industry even more important are the listeners. How they heard the station while growing up. How they reacted during times of tragic news or celebrated events. I'll never forget parking the car on Moorehead Road overlooking downtown Charlotte the moment they announced the Carolina Panthers were coming here. WBT was broadcasting it.
If I had my way I'd have Bo Thompson take a trip out to Billings, Montana to sit down with the amazingly talented people of that Radio community. Bo knows the way to get inside the journey. To carry the connection beyond the four walls of sound into a private life being shared with listeners for the first time.
Why haven't I approached Bo? WBT has proved one thing true. Local radio is the only way to go. Bo doesn't know Billings. Therefore the challenge or maybe the calling for all who've embraced that microphone before opening it into the ears of a passerby listener. Share the stories of that station that once meant the world to your community. Bring the experience forward. Then listen to those that checked in everybody to experience the music, thoughts, jokes and whatever else fell from those speakers.
Always grateful for how Bo Thompson has invisibly handed this to those who've lived the life.
Up first. Michael May. This is radio. We've never come with a subtitles. You've got to listen. This is your theater of the mind.

Two of this weeks featured films were supposed to be released to movie theaters. Hollywood isn't waiting for the Covid-19 lock down to end. The big dogs know where the people are and know what they'll spend. Out this week are The High Note and End Of The Sentence. Ryan says both are good but in different ways. High Note cannot be judged by its poster. Yes there's some music in it but it carries a Prada and Working Girl Vibe. End Of Sentence is an all out tear jerker that really dives into the transition of life and relationship. Now you aren't into On Demand Amazon Prime's got a new one out this weekend The Vast of Night. A Sci Fi thriller in the way that Black Mirror kept us talking.

Not just me but for thirteen or fourteen weeks the experts have been calling Covid-19 an invisible monster. With no image millions of people world wide are having horrid nightmares or aren't getting any sleep at all. Anxiety is stealing a lot of energy. No matter how much you attend church or try to do positive things in your neighborhood or around the city that which you live, this invisible beast hasn't unveiled its face. Or maybe it's starting to. In ways no one could predict but its becoming a huge mess. On this podcast we talk about trying to digest content in an over saturated society. It's time to stop face planting in our smart phones. The decisions that each of us are making in our personal lives is making its way onto the streets of the everyday. Which means we're feeding the face of anxiety. The image is becoming clearer. Covid-19 caused 41 million people to be currently unemployed. Covid-19 has caused a huge increase in ICU hospitalizations. Mentally Covid-19 is putting us in places of no longer thinking about making the right choices. Massive riots, fires and looting. Racism has been this nations worst disease and its now being fed by daily mental beatings caused by the ongoing unexplained plan, purpose or healing of Covid-19. Now toss in the President taking on Social Media for taking away his freedom of speech. I don't care what you think of him. Not my issue. Like him or not. He's right. Ultimately as humans we have to choice to believe in what he posts. It reminds me of the story of the little boy who picked up the snake that bit him. You knew what it was when you picked it up. We are forgetting how to walk in peace. If you don't feel it then you aren't walking with it. It has to be practiced everyday. Its not when you're in the mood or only on Sundays before lunch. Peace is a place of fewer pieces. Yes there's a lot of stuff that needs to be protested. Yes the nation seems out of focus and moving in awkward directions with the house payment due again in three days. Tich Naht Hahn came to the U.S. to protest the Vietnam war in the 1970's. The shouters, the banner carriers, the face painters and totally angry were not happy with this extremely peaceful man from the country they were protesting the war against. He then said, "If you want peace then walk in peace." Your Mom and Dad always knew when you were a pissed off child. Its in the DNA. They'd tell you to count to ten. I'm thinking its time you count to twelve. Embrace your Now. Every decision you make today will have an impact on other people's lives. If that front line keeping us somewhat free of Covid-19 gets weak. We will be defeated.

Its Going To Take Creativity

For decades we've acted the same. Anytime someone mentions their creative minds we naturally think of them as being an artist. They must paint on a canvas, write books, songs and read books of history based on those who lived art before them. Art isn't a label. Art is a gift you get at birth. That being said art and a creative mind are the secret weapon against the aftermath of Covid-19. I study a lot of people with their habits. Especially news agencies and anyone associated with bringing content forward. The majority of the stuff you're digesting daily is the mental image of an invisible virus whose only image is destruction. On this episode of the podcast we clearly go transparent in the way of refocusing our creative growth. Stop looking at what the virus is doing and start using your creative energy to move around, through, above and below to get beyond the weight of something we can't control. To make matters worse are the other headlines inspiring national riots. The cause is also a virus. Racism has been a huge killer for too long. Where are the Governors and President to shut down this nation til it gets under control? We are putting a lot of energy in the process of the aftermath and not on using creative energy to rebuild the master plan. Where are the creative minds that kept the huge ships floating through every massive financial crisis? Right. I get it. They're sitting on this side of business wall because they were either furloughed or lost their career due to an invisible virus. To rebuild America is going to require seasoned creative minds. Those that have lived it not depended on research that exposes human habit. There is no human habit anymore! Everybody's running in every direction. The art filled and totally connected creative mind has to be called back to the four walls of a new age of business success. Seasoned and experienced professionals that have bled the blood and walked free of drinking the Kool-Aid. Am I being too creative here? Probably. I guess I'll send myself a text and ask to see me in the home office HR department for being too real. Art is required for every business to reach people. Not on a canvas or in a song. Belief in your artist employees is where the answer is. Lets grow forward and outward. Walk in peace.
