Hannah Delynn was one of those people. We met at an art gallery outside of Nashville in February of 2022, just a few months before my trip to Alaska, where I ended up with a radio show on KMXT that inspired me to spin it off into The Doers Of Things. A year from our original meeting, I got to learn more about Hannah Delynn: how she builds her confidence and trust in herself, what her dreams are, and how she holds herself accountable.

Ryan Rado, painter/Make It Perfect host/ontological coach, was one of those people. Still early on in the interviewing game, I got a little carried away with sharing my view rather than getting curious about learning my guest's. I share this episode to be transparent on the messy middle of growth. As well as to share the vulnerabilities and challenges, to be brutally honest with oneself, which Ryan offered.

It is so special when guests invite me into their homes. It really allows for a conversation to flow instead of feeling too formal. Jonathan and I had a great time chatting about peeking behind the veil, following the rabbit trail, mind-altering epiphanies, the creative process, and fatherhood.

I love when I get to talk with people in their homes, studios, or personal spaces because it gives me a better idea of who they are. This chat in the home of Trish Clark, costume designer, seamstress, and tailor for the stage and stars such as Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and Wynonna Judd, was really pleasant because she is really pleasant. Just a great example of how going along with what fits you is more practical than trying to squeeze into something that just doesn’t.

Jackie Jolie was on one I followed, and her passion and wealth of knowledge inspired me to follow her on Instagram. On a trip that took me through where she was living in Covington, Louisiana, I reached out for an interview, and she obliged. So on April 19, 2023, we first met at a restaurant and had a pleasant dinner, getting to know each other. Then we walked down to the Bogue Falaya, which is a Choctaw name that means "Long River,” to chat about the importance of light.

When I met up with Guthrie on the west side, we determined that the spot we had picked was not the best place to conduct an interview. So, we hopped in his car and he drove us around while we chatted about his journey as a musician since the age of 6.

He is grounded, graceful, and inspiring. I met Victor Wooten while running the greenroom for UtopiaFest in central Texas fall of 2022. Despite not knowing when or how (or if I even could) to release a podcast, I knew I wanted to have people like Victor on the show. Getting a "yes" from him, paired with such an intimate conversation before I had hardly even produced much of my weekly 100.1fm KMXT show, was permission slip enough to march towards The Doers Of Things.
