Hey, Creator: Do you hear what I hear?

​

​

Hey, Creator. We interrupt our regularly scheduled newsletter to ask you one simple question:

Have you checked out the new podcast yet?

Every Tuesday, a new audio issue drops that dives into many of the same topics we explore on this newsletter more deeply. But, you know, with spoken words instead of written ones—because that’s how podcasts work. ;)

For years, I had a podcast other people liked but one that I didn’t find inspiring. And if I’ve learned anything from this creative journey, it’s that you have to keep doing what inspires you. Otherwise, you’ll burn out and resent your work. You have to live and act in a manner worthy of your own respect. That’s how we keep creating.

Anyway, I am really loving this new show we’re creating together and would love for you to check it out if you haven’t. Here’s a list of what we’ve done so far:

And this week, we welcome Mike Kim to the show. Mike is a personal branding expert, a bestselling author, and a good friend. His brand-new book on branding, aptly titled You Are the Brand, is the best thing I’ve ever read on the subject.

In this conversation, he and I tell stories about playing professional music, our roots in the church world, and why telling the truth matters now more than ever. We also explore what it takes to be “authentic” online and why people don’t actually want “the whole story” from you.

Listen to this week’s issue on Apple podcasts or wherever you get your shows. And I hope you’ll click the “follow” button on whatever podcast app you use and be sure to leave a review as it helps us find new listeners.

Okay, that’s all for now. We’ll see you on Friday for our weekly roundup of links and other fun things you might have missed.

Audibly yours,

Jeff
