Hi, It has been an honor and great adventure to spend time with this vocal diary and post it vulnerably for the world to hear. It feels like it is time for me though to process through other creative outlets. This outlet has been a huge blessing and I hope it was somewhat inspirational to you as it was to me.

Wow this year is FLYING by! (Smirk) If you are sensitive to current events in the United States, I share my Georgia senate runoff story which runs from 1:26 to 4:43.

Yo, Here is the Instagram link to my lion drawing: https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ihmvbBchI/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Thanks for being here. Within 24 hours, my relationship with Riley (my fern) came up in conversation three different times. So, I might as well tell you too… We've gone through a lot between toxicity, control, smothering, distance, silence, brokenness, new environments, and most recently realizing how she thrives when I take care of my mental health
Greetins! There is a slight weight to this episode, but I would be lying if I said life were perfect all the time. Fall, election, Halloween, seasonal affective disorder (S.A.D), pandemic, etc. Thanks for making it this far
Hi! 59 days until Christmas
Thanks for tuning in this week! Wow, sometimes things DO get difficult. As we know, it will be ok and you are your own worst critic. Shoutout to one of my favorite countries and my friend (you know who you are) for teaching me this phrase I will never forget… “Ne jemi ndryshe” which is Albanian for “We are different.” Twice I mention the book of Genesis from the Bible, the second time I read a scripture from it. Topics start at 7:23!

Thank you everyone else too… The United States, Bangladesh, and Norway even! Thank you thank you thank you
Hi! This might have the most focused yet tangential intro, but I am super proud of the transition out of it! This episode is a little on the “real talk about the valleys in life” side with some injected funnies. Topics one and two lead up to three which is the big kahuna (12:16 – 15:20.) We ALL go through hard times. I even read one of my favorite comfort passages of scripture to you. On a side note… I gave my website a makeover! http://www.johnmichaelcollins.com (www.johnmichaelcollins.com) Thanks for being awesome
Don't be misled by the episode titles. Well, mmmm, yeah. The titles are a naturally accurate depiction of something on my mind, which I'm sure you've figured out by now. Hurricane Sally made her way inland and Riley and I made it through, she did lose a few more fronds though. I think she's gone through 15-20 since January? Atlanta is nice and I've visited 7 mail courier locations so far! In regard to this episode... The second topic may be sensitive to some. King Solomon is a guy from Biblical times and I share my conversion story from a slightly different angle, including a reading from Ecclesiastes 12: 13-14. "To when I learned a ton about investing" "To when I identify with King Solomon" 2nd topic: 14:03-18:45 Ecclesiastes 12: 13-14 (16:39-17:01) DISCLOSURE: GOING ON TANGENTS MAY OR MAY NOT BE INVOLVED; THIS SHOW IS CONVERSATIONALLY TRUE TO HOW I SPEAK.

Hello again :) Riley and I made it! Including backtracks we logged 3141 miles between Seattle and Atlanta. I am grateful for good friends who let you sleep in their home, eat their food, drink their water, use their wifis, watch their Netflix, pet their dog, etc. It's been a rough week trying to micromanage finding a place to stay but I found one! Somehow finding the time to edit hadn't been a huge issue on the road. GQT goes through transitions every week, like all of us, but I hope you find one or two things here.
