John Kelly
It's been about 5 months since my last podcast. I appreciate all of the support and there is more to come.
Have you ever thought, maybe I should do something different? Maybe you've been forced into doing something different? Regardless, I like to think of those as pivot points. Being flexible and able to pivot voluntarily or involuntarily is the subject of this podcast. Thank you for listening!
I have been thinking about time as I lay awake at night worrying about everything you could possibly worry about. At some point, action needs to take place as time withers aways for all of us. We have time, but how much time do we have and how do we want to spend that time?

This is an episode that made me smile. To the teacher that believed in me before I believed in myself, thank you. People come into your life for a reason. I was lucky and still am lucky to be able to take the lesson that I was taught, not out of a book, but by an art teacher. She made an impact that changed the trajectory of my life and how I approached things. Calling me out and telling me that I was capable of so much more, at a time when I needed it. I am forever thankful for her, she changed my life. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did talking about it.
I just listened to the original trailer (still available) and it seems pretty terrible. I talk about my goal of creating a charity or scholarship.

With many schools choosing a virtual learning model, I asked a friend, former class mate and teacher Lisa Garrison to provide some perspective from an educators point of view.

Hailing from Dahlonega, Georgia, country singer and songwriter Jobe Fortner’s musical roots run deep. His debut self-titled EP was released in early 2018 and sparked a different level of buzz for Fortner. It garnered the attention of other national acts and led to opening gigs with Frankie Ballard, Riley Green, Toby Keith, Cadillac Three, Whiskey Myers, Cody Johnson, The Steel Woods, Dwight Yoakam and also led to more shows with Luke Combs. Jobe’s sound crosses over extremely well from Southern Rock all the way to some modern country influence. It blends all his aspects of his gospel roots, to his country upbringing and his time on the road. With so many landmarks and accomplishments so far it is easy to lose sight that Jobe's career is just getting started.
