He's a dad. He's a granddad. He was a decades-long sporting goods salesman in his town. And he worries about the negativity in the world today and wanted to take a stab at sharing the philosophy that helps him. That's Larry Stigsell and his new book, Looking Through Our Eyes of Curi Osity. I knew Larry through his son; we used to work together in B2B publishing. I think you get a feel for Larry's energy and goodwill, and the evergreen sensibility at the base of his advice to everybody, in the new book, this interview, and his fun experimentation with videos on YouTube. If you're ever thought of self-publishing a book, take a ride on Larry's magic carpet for a bit in this episode and try to heat up a bit in the joyful energy for his confidence and friendliness ... P.S. The cool thumbnail from the book cover is from Larry's graphic-designer son. You can find that dude, Shawn Stigsell, on LinkedIn.

Conversation with Roger Leslie was very uplifting. Roger was comfortable with the podcast. He expressed himself, and he kept it real with me. Roger spent his childhood in Michigan, loving books & movies. The age of 13 creative diversions ignited an idea for him that he would become an author. He took inspiration to action and wrote his first novella. Roger sensed to his very soul that he was on his journey of a lifetime. After Roger moved to Texas with his family when he was a teenager, he set his sights on being a novelist. At the time, he didn't know if he would have the talent to achieve his dreams. But the passion that Roger felt to succeed ran deep enough to sustain him through years of disappointing rejections and fateful detours. Roger writing throughout his high school years was empowering. Roger was setting a goal to write his first novel before graduation. This gave Roger's life, a driving purpose, and created his first social identity. To all of his peers, he became “the guy who wrote the book.” Roger undergraduate degree focused exclusively on creative writing. Roger received advice from a career counselor, and he changed his major to English education, which expanded his professional prospects to include decades as a teacher, professor, and school librarian. Roger earned a Master's degree in creative writing and a doctorate in education. Roger kept writing and submitting, and over time, he expanded what he wrote. Finally, multiple publishing successes converged to create a career-paving direction. In a single year, Roger became a reviewer for Booklist and received contracts from different publishers for a novel and three nonfiction books. He became open to writing in an array of genres, both nonfiction and fiction. As a result, he found more publishing success through large, medium, and small publishing houses. Roger even won multiple local, state, and national awards. Years as an award-winning educator paved the way for international speaking engagements.

A prayer for you

On this week's episode of the Words, After All podcast, I get personal and make a commitment to improve this space by making it more diverse. To get you started, I've recommended six books by Black and Indigenous authors that have inspired me and my work in progress. This reading list isn't a one-time tokenistic offer, a tick box, but my first steps toward a new normal that is more representative of the myriad of voices we are lucky enough to have access to. For full show notes with links to the books mentioned in the episode click here. I look forward to bringing you more of me and more of my diverse reads here on the podcast. I would love to answer a question about writing or life on a future episode of the podcast. Contact me on Instagram or through my website here. If you want to add to the conversation, or discuss the podcast online use the hashtag #wordsafterall, and I'll stop by to say hello. *Some links to books are affiliate links.

James oversees the music education program at Gustavus and in addition to directing the wind orchestra, teaches a number of conducting, instrumental techniques, and culture and music courses.

In addition to a number of other experiences, Dr. Miller has been involved in the commissioning of more than 30 works for a wide variety of vocal and instrumental ensembles. I first met James during my time as an undergrad when he served as an interim professor for Doug Nimmo. Since James officially taking up a professorship at Gustavus, I have been fortunate enough to see him work with my students as a guest conductor, contest clinician, and honor band host. James is fantastic! So I was thankful to be able to get him on the show. Fair warning at the front - during the recording of this conversation I was coming down with a cold so my voice liked to cut in and out as I was talking. It is basically gone at this point, however that might account for the residual gravelyness of my voice. The good news about you listening to a podcast though is that there is no possible way for you to catch my cold! I am glad that I can keep you safe. Haha, alright let's jump into the conversation.
