Practice with CK: Recent Episodes

Forces of Equal

❓ What do you do when you know deep down that you can make a positive impact with your voice, but you can never find the right words to do it effectively or doubts and feelings of inadequacy bubble up?

🎯 Practice.

🕺 It’s taken me until the age of 40 to feel comfortable in my own skin. Now I’m trying to find my voice.

🗣️ I've never been much of a talker, so it made all the sense in the world to start my own podcast.

🔊 These Practice Sessions are unscripted and our conversations are published unedited, so my progress with speaking will be fully transparent.

👐 Whether you’re interested in exploring agile podcasting, considering the effects of positive self-reflection, or just observing my attempt in learning how to talk as I psychoanalyze myself throughout the process, I’d love to have you come along and explore with me.

🎙️ We record weekly on Sundays and publish on Mondays.

"Take a lyre player: he’s relaxed when he performs alone, but put him in front of an audience, and it’s a different story, no matter how beautiful his voice or how well he plays the instrument. Why? Because he not only wants to perform well, he wants to be well received — and the latter lies outside his control."

"You can discard most of the junk that clutters your mind… and clear out space for yourself… by comprehending the scale of the world… by contemplating infinite time… by thinking of the speed with which things change — each part of every thing; the narrow space between our birth and death; the infinite time before; the equally unbounded time that follows." ~Marcus Aurelius
