It's definitely not what you think, thats for sure. If you told me 3 years ago I would be living here I am not sure I would have believed you. It's crazy how much life can change in such a short time. Getting robbed wasn't on my bucket list, but I live to tell the tale so there's that.I always knew I wanted to live somewhere different. It had to be somewhere outside of my comfort zone. I don't think that I would have realized Costa Rica was for me. It's crazy how much life can change in such a short time.

It's been a few weeks since I have posted a podcast but Im back with some accountability and a few excuses, but most importantly Im back.

Or it could be because, despite all of your efforts, you simply can't seem to get ahead.

I am pretty sure that your entire life is dictated by the relationships you cultivate in it.

Ok, I lied it's definitely not the only mic worth buying but pretty dang close. The Shure MV7 is a machine and can make anyone sound better, no matter how technically challenged you may be. If you are in business and want to go on podcasts, have a podcast, do virtual speaking, or networking, or want to close deals...you need a microphone. You have no excuse anymore. I hear you in the BMI meetings and you sound terrible, no judgement of course. Well, some judgement actually.
