Lately

Quick note to let you all know that I’ve been busy lately. The holidays got busy as they always do. But, while most people were taking a much needed vacation, I’ve been freelancing full time at GA Communications in the “deep East Bay.” I’ve got to tell you, it’s nice to be working in an agency environment again.

Working alone can be extremely productive - and I love it when I need to grind out a pile of “to-dos”- but I have to believe that creativity is not a solitary beast. It comes about through interaction and sharing of experiences. How can one ever come to know of universal truths, if their universe is limited to self.

It’s good to be talking at work again. I’m not even minding so much that I haven’t been paid yet. But, I may change my mind about that on Friday.

    I have enjoyed your podcast so far. I too am aspiring to get into an agency as AD.

    I recommend that you edit the volume levels before the final audio file podcast is published. John N’s audio is much louder than your voice. Your intro music is much louder too - almost covers your voice. You may also want to EQ some high-mids into your voice too (muddy now).

    I hope that helps.

    I look forward to the rest of the series!
