Emotional Support for Creatives: Join the Emo Dojo revolution!

WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:07.469 Hey, what's up? Welcome back to the EMO dojoe. I am John 2 00:00:07.549 --> 00:00:11.310 Emotions and it's a pleasure to have you here once again at the Dojoe. 3 00:00:11.470 --> 00:00:16.469 Thanks for coming. Let me update you on what's been happening. Okay, 4 00:00:16.510 --> 00:00:24.699 okay, since I cut out refine sugar products from my life, Energy Drinks, 5 00:00:25.660 --> 00:00:30.100 candy bars, ice cream cakes, all that stuff, clearly there's plenty 6 00:00:30.179 --> 00:00:35.700 of sugar in all of the other products in the supermarket and I get sugar 7 00:00:35.770 --> 00:00:39.369 from fruit. That's fine. My head has been so much clear. Oh 8 00:00:39.490 --> 00:00:44.329 and when I stopped the energy drinks, I stopped caffeine, because I don't 9 00:00:44.329 --> 00:00:48.329 drink anything new. I didn't replace it with anything but water, and water 10 00:00:48.409 --> 00:00:54.520 does not have caffeine. So I effectively cut out two hardcore stimulants from my 11 00:00:54.679 --> 00:01:00.439 brain system and my gut, which is something I've been studying a lot lately, 12 00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.920 the connection between your mind, your brain, sorry, not your mind, 13 00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:08.109 between your brain, maybe your mind, and your gut, particularly your 14 00:01:08.230 --> 00:01:15.670 gut biome. And I heard today found out that your gut produces more serotonin 15 00:01:17.189 --> 00:01:19.620 than your brain. So your gut and your brain are working in unison. 16 00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:26.579 And if you think about that, how important your imagine putting a bunch of 17 00:01:26.579 --> 00:01:30.019 junk directly through your brain, like twinkies and you know, fried food and 18 00:01:30.099 --> 00:01:37.010 things like that. Well, your gut is basically your bigger brain in your 19 00:01:37.049 --> 00:01:41.329 body and your belly down there. That just how happens to process food. 20 00:01:42.049 --> 00:01:47.760 But if you're putting garbage in there and it starts making you mentally unwell, 21 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:52.319 you can end up in a downward spiral. For example, it's happened to 22 00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:57.799 me. Eat Crappy food, upset your guts, you got the upset your 23 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:04.629 mind, you get depressed, eat crap your food and then the cycle spins 24 00:02:04.709 --> 00:02:09.789 downhill. And when the crappier food includes caffeine and sugar, you just start 25 00:02:09.870 --> 00:02:14.310 the next day again. Don'ts try this again. More Caffeine, more sugar. 26 00:02:15.069 --> 00:02:17.699 And since I had that epiphany almost a year ago, like Thanksgiving of 27 00:02:17.780 --> 00:02:23.460 last year, where I tried the Nero lifted, which I still use. 28 00:02:23.539 --> 00:02:29.139 By the way, I use that nearro lifted. It's a n e Ro 29 00:02:29.219 --> 00:02:34.370 Oh Nero, like your brain lifted, lft Id, like it lifts your 30 00:02:34.449 --> 00:02:38.370 Id. I guess. I don't know if they meant that, but anyway, 31 00:02:38.449 --> 00:02:40.569 since I had that epiphany and I'm like wow, I don't know if 32 00:02:40.610 --> 00:02:47.120 it was a breakdown, a breakthrough or whatever it was, but I've getting 33 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:53.400 slowly better off, developed way better habits. I've read tons of books. 34 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:54.280 Oh my God, I'm going to post a list of all the books I've 35 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:58.560 read in the past like nine months. It's pretty, pretty long. It's 36 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.469 like forty books or so. So I'm just cramming my head full of I'm 37 00:03:01.469 --> 00:03:07.229 just basically trying to reprogram myself and I think it's starting to work, especially 38 00:03:07.270 --> 00:03:13.939 with the physical habits tied in with the mental habits and so all of this 39 00:03:14.259 --> 00:03:17.539 new found, I guess I'll call it focus, thanks to the lack of 40 00:03:17.580 --> 00:03:22.539 sugar. It's also calmed me down quite a bit, so I'm not always 41 00:03:23.060 --> 00:03:25.539 quite so up in people's faces. I mean that's my demeanor. I'm not 42 00:03:25.580 --> 00:03:30.289 really in people's faces, but I project. I project, you know, 43 00:03:30.610 --> 00:03:34.650 and I'm I'm not turned down to like a three. I'm usually like turned 44 00:03:34.650 --> 00:03:37.969 up to like a seven. Now I'm more like, you know, five 45 00:03:38.009 --> 00:03:43.000 or six. So I'm much calmer and more focused. That enabled me to 46 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:47.599 focus on new habits like rowing. I row every day. It's nice. 47 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:53.680 It's nice fluid movement and I put the nearro lifted on my forehead like I'm 48 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:59.469 from the future. So it's pretty fun. It's a cool new habit and 49 00:03:59.590 --> 00:04:01.430 it kind of goes along really well with drinking more water and less sugar, 50 00:04:01.469 --> 00:04:04.789 less caffeine, Blah Blah Blah. Back to the focus. So I thought, 51 00:04:04.789 --> 00:04:08.229 Oh yeah, I have an idea for the show and it all kind 52 00:04:08.270 --> 00:04:12.259 of dawned on me because there are two people from my twitter feed that I 53 00:04:12.419 --> 00:04:15.300 wanted to talk to on the show and I like, why do I want 54 00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:16.980 to talk these two people? What's the real because I definitely want to. 55 00:04:17.100 --> 00:04:23.139 I'm like, Oh, it's they're both creative people that don't get the recognition 56 00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:27.769 I think they should get. Maybe unbiased because they followed my twitter account and 57 00:04:27.810 --> 00:04:32.569 we've communicated through, you know, publicly. But once I know of somebody 58 00:04:32.649 --> 00:04:39.600 that's a real person and they're a creative and they're stuck in some kind of 59 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:43.240 other misery, like working a day job or doing whatever, just stuff they're 60 00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.839 not it's not perfect for them, I feel really a strong sense of empathy. 61 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.279 So I wanted to have both of these folks on the show, different 62 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:58.189 shows. One has agreed, the other, I think, is agreed and 63 00:04:59.069 --> 00:05:01.430 I just found one before I came on just now, a writer. He 64 00:05:01.629 --> 00:05:03.829 was having a bad day, so I think I'm going to reach out to 65 00:05:03.870 --> 00:05:08.220 him and say, dude, this shows perfect for you anyway. Why is 66 00:05:08.300 --> 00:05:13.259 it perfect? Because by epiphany about the show is like this emo Dojo show 67 00:05:13.939 --> 00:05:16.939 should be, should have been if I were more focused. But we'll be 68 00:05:17.060 --> 00:05:26.170 moving forward about helping creatives get through the struggle, and much of that comes 69 00:05:26.209 --> 00:05:30.810 down to the fact that sons of creative people have mental problems. I don't 70 00:05:30.810 --> 00:05:35.079 care what your mental problem is, but lots of creative people in particular, 71 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:40.399 and I think after studying so much about creative people in minds and things like 72 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:46.920 that, it's simply that we don't fit in necessarily with mainstream society because a 73 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:53.470 lot of the things we want to do to express ourselves don't pay money in 74 00:05:53.550 --> 00:05:57.430 a capitalist society. So we're stuck doing things that, you know, kind 75 00:05:57.470 --> 00:06:00.189 of make us miserable and we don't nearly do enough of the things that would 76 00:06:00.230 --> 00:06:08.620 enrich society. However, things are changing. I am a stubborn fuck and 77 00:06:08.860 --> 00:06:13.339 I like to do things my way and I will keep looking until I can 78 00:06:13.379 --> 00:06:15.620 find ways to do them my way. Well, what if the things is 79 00:06:15.779 --> 00:06:20.649 I like to get up whenever I want to work my ass off for about 80 00:06:20.649 --> 00:06:25.290 ten hours and then, you know, do whatever I want to. But 81 00:06:26.449 --> 00:06:30.129 I want those ten hours to be at my leisure. So it's been a 82 00:06:30.170 --> 00:06:32.439 kind of a constant struggle to first find work that lets me do that, 83 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:39.519 and even bigger hurdle is finding work that lets me do that that is actually 84 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:45.160 creative work. Aha, or is it? No? As it turns out, 85 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.829 really creative work is stuff that you can do any time of the day 86 00:06:49.029 --> 00:06:57.750 from any part of the world. The two I chose are going to be 87 00:06:57.829 --> 00:07:02.379 voiceover work, like reading books, narration, maybe some voice acting. I'm 88 00:07:02.420 --> 00:07:08.220 not really an oppressions guy, but I have different voices that I can use. 89 00:07:08.379 --> 00:07:12.459 Is Whatever. I don't know. And the other one is crypto arts, 90 00:07:12.699 --> 00:07:18.529 otherwise known as nft, non fungible token artwork. And since discovering those 91 00:07:18.610 --> 00:07:25.610 two things in particular in the past year, I think there's a real possibility 92 00:07:25.649 --> 00:07:30.600 that many people I know with mental problems can affect positive change for their life 93 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:38.160 if they pursue some of these super cutting edge like technologies and ways of life 94 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:44.079 that aren't widely adapted yet or adopted yet. I mean, but are certainly 95 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.029 the way of the future. Things like the metaverse, where nfts and that 96 00:07:46.110 --> 00:07:50.430 crypto art are sold and sold for that's not going anywhere. That's going to 97 00:07:50.509 --> 00:07:54.870 get bigger, there's no doubt about it. And voiceover work, oh my 98 00:07:54.949 --> 00:07:57.949 goodness, there are so many hundreds of thousands of books that have not been 99 00:07:57.990 --> 00:08:03.459 turned into audio files. There the backlog of work in the audio field is 100 00:08:03.579 --> 00:08:07.060 enormous. And then moving forward, there's a lot more content that's going to 101 00:08:07.139 --> 00:08:11.459 need voiceover work on top of that. Regardless if the bots are in AI 102 00:08:11.540 --> 00:08:15.290 voices are doing it, somebody has to make the AI voice, which is 103 00:08:15.370 --> 00:08:18.569 another thing I'm doing, creating a voice through an AI company that will just 104 00:08:18.730 --> 00:08:24.689 send me royalty checks when they use that voice on selected book products. I 105 00:08:24.769 --> 00:08:28.000 don't have to be there, I don't have to reread the script or anything 106 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:33.639 like that. They will use a digital voice of my own to make myself 107 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.279 a little bit of money. And let's get this straight. And not only 108 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.950 am I stubborn, I have a mental illness or two or three. I'm 109 00:08:41.990 --> 00:08:46.629 not exactly sure at this point which ones are in effect at any given point 110 00:08:46.629 --> 00:08:50.350 because, frankly, not many of the MED's have done much of anything. 111 00:08:50.629 --> 00:08:54.029 Sometimes people think will maybe you don't have anything. Yeah, maybe I fucking 112 00:08:54.070 --> 00:08:58.379 don't. Maybe I'm just a fucking Weirdo. That's entirely possible. But what 113 00:08:58.500 --> 00:09:03.700 does that mean? It's just I suffered the same regardless if I have bipolar 114 00:09:03.740 --> 00:09:09.740 disorder, addhd. What the fuck is the other one? Geez, of 115 00:09:09.860 --> 00:09:13.009 depression and anxiety. But, like, doesn't everybody have depression and anxiety at 116 00:09:13.049 --> 00:09:16.970 some point? So that's not it. I think it's severe depression off and 117 00:09:18.049 --> 00:09:24.639 on for like decades. And I'm a SPAZ. So's that mania or is 118 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:30.080 that hyperactivity? They could they don't know they and who's they? The doctors 119 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:35.200 I've seen over the past couple of decades. Dozens of doctors. How many 120 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.950 dozens? HMM, yeah, probably close to two dozen doctors. So if 121 00:09:39.029 --> 00:09:43.750 you are new to this show because you're searching for a podcast on mental health, 122 00:09:43.789 --> 00:09:46.149 yeah, you're in for a long discovery trip. You know, I 123 00:09:46.190 --> 00:09:48.990 don't want to say journey, I'm not really into that term. May share 124 00:09:50.029 --> 00:09:54.299 your journey whatever, but a man just buckle up and take everything with a 125 00:09:54.379 --> 00:09:58.580 grain of salt. There's no quick fix and, worst of all, a 126 00:09:58.659 --> 00:10:03.179 lot of times you're going to mind that. Yeah, nobody can really help 127 00:10:03.220 --> 00:10:05.980 you. There'll be people that can do things for you off and on, 128 00:10:05.460 --> 00:10:09.330 sometimes the things that are really helpful and sometimes the things that are less than 129 00:10:09.370 --> 00:10:13.570 helpful. But whatever, the people that are around you will do what they 130 00:10:13.570 --> 00:10:18.529 can, and it's not much sometimes. I'm not saying I'm an ingreat. 131 00:10:18.210 --> 00:10:22.759 I'm saying that sometimes people can't. If we can't, if I can't communicate 132 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.039 what I need from the people around me, I'm never going to get it, 133 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:30.159 or if the people around me are just worn out because I've asked for 134 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.720 too much. So you'll run into that for sure. So you're going to 135 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.230 have to have to you going to have to figure out ways to fend for 136 00:10:37.309 --> 00:10:41.950 yourself as if your parents have died, there's no more family left, you 137 00:10:41.070 --> 00:10:45.029 don't have any friends at school anymore. You're an adult in the world. 138 00:10:45.110 --> 00:10:48.549 You have to learn to fend for yourself. And if you're a creative person, 139 00:10:48.870 --> 00:10:52.179 the last thing I want is for someone to think this is hopeless, 140 00:10:52.179 --> 00:10:54.059 I'm just going to end it all now. Don't do that. There's cool 141 00:10:54.100 --> 00:10:58.340 stuff coming up in the future and the future starts right now. So if 142 00:10:58.379 --> 00:11:01.940 you jump into some of these things, man, you could be really successful 143 00:11:01.940 --> 00:11:07.009 and make a name for yourself despite your mental problems. So to that end, 144 00:11:07.409 --> 00:11:11.210 I'll share what's working for me and if I learn anything that cost me 145 00:11:11.370 --> 00:11:13.330 money, I will for sure pass that on to you so you don't make 146 00:11:13.370 --> 00:11:16.409 any mistakes with your money, because, frankly, if you're listening to a 147 00:11:16.450 --> 00:11:20.879 podcast like this and you might have mental problems of your own, you probably 148 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.440 don't have much money of your own to spend anyway. So that's kind of 149 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.480 a drawback for a lot of folks in the NFT space. But I will 150 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.950 work around that myself because I have a job, thank goodness. Oh, 151 00:11:31.990 --> 00:11:35.429 you know in that neuro that lifted a ID thing or whatever, the brains 152 00:11:35.509 --> 00:11:39.750 apper, I think it's helped me at work like I have not the fight 153 00:11:39.830 --> 00:11:43.509 or flight thing has kind of diminished or freeze. Never Really, I'm not 154 00:11:43.509 --> 00:11:46.779 going to freeze in place. I have to move. Fight or flight pretty 155 00:11:46.779 --> 00:11:52.740 much, but I haven't left the job. I've, you know, maintained 156 00:11:52.779 --> 00:11:56.659 a steady pace. I get recognized work for doing my job and then some. 157 00:11:58.100 --> 00:12:00.220 So all's good, they're oh, but here's the thing too. I've 158 00:12:00.259 --> 00:12:07.129 also been there long enough now where I have pretty aggressive recruiters trying to get 159 00:12:07.169 --> 00:12:09.330 a hold of me. I haven't seen a great deal and I don't necessarily 160 00:12:09.409 --> 00:12:13.730 know that I want to jump just for more money because I like the people 161 00:12:13.730 --> 00:12:16.720 I work with and they're flexible, so I can keep doing the voice over 162 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:22.279 and the nft thing. But think about that in a short year I've kept 163 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.039 a job through a pandemic of not gotten the COVID. I did get the 164 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:31.190 shot, so I don't yeah. For the record if you I don't really 165 00:12:31.230 --> 00:12:33.350 talk about that much and it's too political now. But anyway, if you're 166 00:12:33.389 --> 00:12:37.909 wondering, yes, I have my fucking covid shots and I wear a mask 167 00:12:37.029 --> 00:12:43.110 when there's people in the buildings out in public. Anyway, things are going 168 00:12:43.230 --> 00:12:46.419 well. Like I said, people are offering me jobs, but eventually maybe 169 00:12:46.419 --> 00:12:48.940 I'll make more money and I've got goals. This is one of the neat 170 00:12:48.940 --> 00:12:54.340 things I've been reading to about a lot lately and it's a great reminder humans 171 00:12:54.419 --> 00:12:58.009 are goal oriented. We're goal oriented. If you don't have goals, and 172 00:12:58.129 --> 00:13:01.970 they don't have to be huge aspirational things you have to make giant to do 173 00:13:01.129 --> 00:13:05.330 lists or anything like that. Just have something set in your mind that you're 174 00:13:05.330 --> 00:13:07.529 working toward, because, man, if you don't make goals for yourself, 175 00:13:09.210 --> 00:13:11.769 other people will start putting their goals on you. They'll put that impression on 176 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.840 you, like you're supposed to be doing their thing. Now, fuck that. 177 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.200 Make a goal for yourself. And you see a lot of people without 178 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.320 goals. Look how they feel. They're confused, they're anxious and they're depressed 179 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:24.639 because they don't know what they're doing or where they're going in life. And 180 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:31.110 that's not the say they're bad for that, because I was one until two 181 00:13:31.190 --> 00:13:33.509 weeks ago and then I all of a sudden I have a really firm idea 182 00:13:33.549 --> 00:13:37.870 of what I want to do, or I guess more of the details kind 183 00:13:37.870 --> 00:13:41.460 of fell into place maybe once I got the sugar out of my brain. 184 00:13:43.860 --> 00:13:48.059 So things are working well, you know, brains getting healthier, bodies getting 185 00:13:48.139 --> 00:13:52.019 healthier, people are trying to hire me away from my job and I've got 186 00:13:52.139 --> 00:14:01.970 too cool goals in voice acting and nft artwork right so join along. I'm 187 00:14:01.970 --> 00:14:05.289 putting together a team for NFT'S I'll try not to talk about NFT is. 188 00:14:05.330 --> 00:14:09.769 I'm not going to like turn this into an NFT podcast, but to the 189 00:14:09.850 --> 00:14:15.840 extent that we are artist in creative people with mental problems trying to make it 190 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:20.360 through life. I will mention updates about that and, you know, keep 191 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:24.750 you posting on to factually make any money. That would be exciting. If 192 00:14:24.789 --> 00:14:31.309 you want to be a part of that, email me John at Emo dojocom 193 00:14:31.110 --> 00:14:33.830 and we'll figure out, you know, what do you want to contribute to 194 00:14:35.070 --> 00:14:39.820 the community and we'll figure out how to make it work, because I'm pretty 195 00:14:39.820 --> 00:14:45.299 good at building organizations and getting things started, and all my freaky friends are 196 00:14:45.419 --> 00:14:48.980 getting together on a zoom call this weekend and we're going to figure out how 197 00:14:48.980 --> 00:14:54.169 to build a fucking killer and FT team. That said, there's always room 198 00:14:54.250 --> 00:14:58.009 for you and if you don't want to join the team, for sure follow 199 00:14:58.049 --> 00:15:03.289 the podcast and see what you're going to miss. I guess now. I 200 00:15:03.289 --> 00:15:05.169 don't want to rub it in your face, but I think it would be 201 00:15:05.250 --> 00:15:09.559 successful one way or another, and if you're a creative type that's struggling, 202 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.200 for sure consider it right. So, yeah, that's the focus for Emo 203 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.320 Dojo. It's kind of like a big group Hug, like an emotional support 204 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:22.149 group for artist in creative people, and I think that's a good tagline moving 205 00:15:22.269 --> 00:15:26.590 forward and it also fits in the various spaces that we're going to be working 206 00:15:28.269 --> 00:15:33.870 particularly the nonprofit drum Dojo in the real life, and then Emo Dojo dot 207 00:15:33.950 --> 00:15:39.740 art, where our NFT's will be hosted shortly. There's a couple placeholders up 208 00:15:39.740 --> 00:15:41.139 there right now, but you know, if you want to support the show 209 00:15:41.179 --> 00:15:46.059 in the future and become part of like our crew, he just buy one 210 00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:50.529 of our ear NFT's and now you're in man. So I think starting on 211 00:15:50.610 --> 00:15:54.450 the next podcast, here's the format I'm going to do. We're going to 212 00:15:54.490 --> 00:15:58.169 start with a quick intro, give you a kind of like a sign post, 213 00:15:58.250 --> 00:16:03.929 if you will, of the day's topics. Two, three, maybe 214 00:16:03.009 --> 00:16:08.720 four ideas. Most the first segment will be either a guest interview, like 215 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:14.679 the three I had mentioned earlier, an artist, poet, musician and a 216 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:19.909 writer. Absent any guests, I will do a segment called found on flipboard. 217 00:16:21.389 --> 00:16:23.110 Flipboards one of my favorite APPs and has been for many years. I 218 00:16:23.230 --> 00:16:30.470 aggregate lots of news headlines and RSS Feeds into one and I collect them all 219 00:16:30.750 --> 00:16:34.860 in Emo Dojo John Emotions account on flipboard. So I say all the things 220 00:16:34.899 --> 00:16:37.659 I read about, all the Weird Shit I talked about. It's an article 221 00:16:37.779 --> 00:16:44.259 there well, because I'm doing voiceover and I would like to give credit where 222 00:16:44.299 --> 00:16:48.250 credits due on all these ideas found on flipboard. Will basically, in place 223 00:16:48.330 --> 00:16:52.690 of a guest I'll just read a portion of a killer article about it. 224 00:16:52.809 --> 00:16:59.289 Interesting thing. So that serves two purposes. I get to read and practice 225 00:16:59.409 --> 00:17:03.480 like voiceover narration and you get to hear straight from the horse's mouth, so 226 00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:07.359 to speak, where the fuck I read such a weird idea. I'll also 227 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:14.720 give the link on my website and credit in spoken word to the author via 228 00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:18.349 the show here. On the back half of the show I'll give you updates 229 00:17:18.750 --> 00:17:23.029 on the NFT and voice acting stuff much quicker than today's. And then, 230 00:17:23.109 --> 00:17:30.140 in closing I will do a bit where I make fake voice mails to people 231 00:17:30.180 --> 00:17:33.660 I miss. I'm not doing crank calls anything like that. I'm going to 232 00:17:33.819 --> 00:17:40.380 just find voice mail beeper and kind of a scratchy audio effect that makes it 233 00:17:40.460 --> 00:17:45.529 sound like I'm leaving a message on someone's answering machine. And for all of 234 00:17:45.569 --> 00:17:48.569 the people in my past lives who, for one reason another, out of 235 00:17:48.650 --> 00:17:56.609 communication with I'm going to leave fake voice mails for them, which very cathartic 236 00:17:56.730 --> 00:18:00.799 to me because at least I can get it out of my soul and into 237 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:07.559 the ether. And most of them are apologies and clarifications and things like that, 238 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.759 but kind of a personal touch there. Yeah, and then at the 239 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.910 end I'm going to change it up like we're going to do, like all 240 00:18:15.950 --> 00:18:18.109 the podcast do. It like a closing call to action. That the whole 241 00:18:18.109 --> 00:18:23.549 thing. We're like a remember to listen to John emotionscom or Emo dojocom like 242 00:18:23.670 --> 00:18:27.619 the give the fucking url and all the ways to get a contact at twitter 243 00:18:27.779 --> 00:18:33.259 and facebook and all that Shit. So I hesitate to do that. Sounds 244 00:18:33.259 --> 00:18:37.420 always junks up the space in my mind, but it seems to work. 245 00:18:37.460 --> 00:18:41.450 A lot of people do it and I think if they beg often enough, 246 00:18:41.849 --> 00:18:44.730 says doesn't feel like began. I guess if just a clip for the audio 247 00:18:44.809 --> 00:18:48.130 that I get to paste in every time, but I just the idea of 248 00:18:48.210 --> 00:18:52.210 like begging people. Oh, please, like me, please, like me, 249 00:18:52.809 --> 00:18:56.359 so ridiculous. But maybe if I put a closer on it, that's 250 00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:00.200 reminds people how important it is to leave a review, things like that, 251 00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:04.960 maybe more people will. So anyway, I'll put a closer call to action, 252 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:11.069 so to speak. And now back to the wall. Yeah, I 253 00:19:11.150 --> 00:19:14.190 think that will make a decent show and then I can kind of keep it 254 00:19:14.269 --> 00:19:17.309 in the half an hour range. Cool. Cool. If you have anything 255 00:19:17.349 --> 00:19:18.630 you want to add, if you want to be a guest, if you're 256 00:19:18.630 --> 00:19:23.339 a creative person that just wants to share your soul, by all means come 257 00:19:23.380 --> 00:19:27.980 on and you're totally welcome to come on as your Avatar name, whatever. 258 00:19:29.059 --> 00:19:30.700 You definitely don't have to use your real name. Just tell me what you 259 00:19:30.819 --> 00:19:36.900 want me to call you while you're on the show and what your art is 260 00:19:37.059 --> 00:19:38.970 like. What do you consider art? What are you doing and what struggles 261 00:19:38.970 --> 00:19:44.410 are you encountering? If you like to do that from by all means same 262 00:19:44.490 --> 00:19:51.329 thing. Just email me John John at Emo, dojocom or a call. 263 00:19:51.730 --> 00:19:55.680 Call the studio line. Area Code for hundred and five hundred four oh three 264 00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:59.799 hund and thirty three hundred. Keep it simple. Don't need to fucking DM 265 00:19:59.960 --> 00:20:03.640 me. I think it's creepy when like dudes are DM and other people like 266 00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.990 I really hesitate to DM people I want on the show because it's still kind 267 00:20:07.029 --> 00:20:11.950 of weird. But a lot of times I don't know how else to get 268 00:20:11.990 --> 00:20:14.670 hold of people. But in this case you know how to get a hold 269 00:20:14.670 --> 00:20:18.309 of me, you can email me. That's fine. We have a normal 270 00:20:18.470 --> 00:20:23.539 like email exchange. So yeah, things are going okay, moving forward. 271 00:20:23.779 --> 00:20:30.700 Like whenever you have like some kind of imbalance personality, mood and you kind 272 00:20:30.740 --> 00:20:37.849 of in balance like that, whenever you feel good it, you're always on 273 00:20:37.970 --> 00:20:41.609 the lookout for when the bad's about to come, because it gets sometimes our 274 00:20:41.650 --> 00:20:45.369 bad is so much worse. We get into way worse trouble and cause so 275 00:20:45.369 --> 00:20:48.690 much destruction in our lives. It's scary. You're always watching out for bad. 276 00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:56.039 So it's hard to really appreciate good when it's going on, and sometimes 277 00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.160 it's really, you know, neurotic to like it. Sometimes the people compliment 278 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.720 you can't even appreciate that. You think they're full of it like that. 279 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.670 Just don't know. They don't know the Secret Evil slimeball that lives beneath the 280 00:21:07.869 --> 00:21:10.869 skin. So I'll just yeah, I'll just leave it at that. Man, 281 00:21:10.910 --> 00:21:14.589 I feel feel fine. Things are going pretty well. All signs point 282 00:21:14.630 --> 00:21:18.390 in the right direction and I would love to share the good fortune because I 283 00:21:18.430 --> 00:21:22.539 think, you know it's I'm really an individualist. I'm into my own head 284 00:21:22.579 --> 00:21:26.299 a lot, I totally admit that, but I'm such an individualist, I 285 00:21:26.579 --> 00:21:30.940 really genuinely see the value in community. So I want to build a bigger, 286 00:21:32.059 --> 00:21:38.049 better community by giving what I have as far as resources and find other 287 00:21:38.170 --> 00:21:41.569 resources of the community so we can kind of all give it back around to 288 00:21:41.690 --> 00:21:45.690 each other, kind of like a infinity loop of reciprocity, if you will. 289 00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:52.079 So if you're creative at any kind, please consider getting in touch with 290 00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.359 me to learn more about the art projects we're working on. Or if you 291 00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:59.400 just like to be on the podcast anonymously, if you will, you know 292 00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:02.190 as your Avatar name, that's great to just come on, just give me 293 00:22:02.269 --> 00:22:04.630 a call or an email. I know it's creepy calling people and feel weird 294 00:22:04.950 --> 00:22:07.230 leaving your voice, but if you're going to be on a podcast, you 295 00:22:07.269 --> 00:22:11.269 got to get used to like leaving a voice, at least on a voicemail. 296 00:22:19.380 --> 00:22:23.140 Did I tell you I was excited about nfts? I think about them 297 00:22:23.220 --> 00:22:26.420 so much and it's so in depth I feel like I'm almost man at about 298 00:22:26.500 --> 00:22:30.970 them, but I haven't done anything irrational for man, I just can't stop 299 00:22:30.009 --> 00:22:48.319 talking about this funning who I go and it teas and it teas. And 300 00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:49.279 now back to the wall.
