Welcome To Episode 4 of Your Story Addendum.
Well the trip and testing of my method is over and I’m on my way home to Brisbane.
What I’ve learnt is that I can do this and that I have a lot of support from people as I travel to help me. I’m a little surprised that when I mention the idea that I’m collecting stories everyone seems to think it’s a great idea, which is heartening as I think it’s a good idea as well but I’m being utterly self indulgent with this show so I don’t necessarily think others will rock with the idea. Surprisingly they often do.
I need to continue to get faster at the post production of the episodes as I’ve found that I can spend a huge amount of time on the tiding up of the audio and I still don’t have it any where the standard that I want to eventually get to. I’d like if possible to be able to spend no more than twice the audio recording time in post production if I can. At the moment I’m probably spending about four times as long in post. Hopefully I’ll just get faster.
As I’ve mentioned before I don’t have much experience at travelling and this trip was to get me familiar with it again. That has worked brilliantly and it was a good idea to do it in a local but unfamiliar city rather than waiting until I get to Berlin and have the additional issues of culture and language.
So Melbourne went well. I’m a bit behind in getting the episodes out so I’ll attempt to get them out in the next week. Then I need to get the last of the things organised for the Eurodessy which is only five weeks away.

Welcome To Episode Eleven of Your Story.
Once again through the assistance of Juan Mann I meet and we talk with Jenny who while working at University in her studies came down with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. CFS is a condition that leaves the person exhausted from the very simplest of life’s activities.
Jenny explains how life for a young woman is with this condition and the way it impacts on living a normal life. How she lives a life of work, socialising and university. The challenges of getting enough rest while wanting to still have a full life. How to have hope and excitement for a future when there is no way of knowing how she will feel and even if she will be able to participate in what is planned.
Along with the challengers of this condition Jenny has an underlying enthusiasm for life and a desire to participate fully in it. There is a lesson in Jenny’s story for all of us.

Welcome To Episode Six of Your Story.
Today we talk with Juan Mann of Free Hugs fame. You have probably seen the video, if not here it is.
A runaway viral success that has lead onto things greater than anyone could have imagined.
It all started for me when I saw on Twitter that Richard Giles had gone to visit Juan and I thought well there is a story in that!
So I found his Welcome To My Home site and asked if I could drop in, seeing how I was in Sydney. Generously, he agreed.
We talk about the runaway success that the video has become for him and what it has lead on to, including appearing on Oprah and Andrew Dentons Enough Rope along with opportunities that you would never write into a business plan.
Surprisingly this has lead to him developing a career as a public speaker enabling him to continue to get his message out there and to motivate others to follow their passion. Continue Reading »

Welcome To Episode One of Your Story.
In this episode I chat with a young lady I’ve worked with who decided at school to get into the film industry and has achieved it in only three years and now has to consider her future.
I also bring you up to speed on how it’s been going for me to get this podcast up and running and some of the frustrations that I’ve faced.
Hope you enjoy.
