Michael Laird was no stranger to getting clean. And then relapsing. Then getting clean again. It wasn't until a judge believed in him and ordered him into a Specialty Court that he found the framework to rebuild his life. Michael and his mom, Angela, share their story of second chances and a saved life.

He started taking trumpet lessons when he was seven years old and set out on the path to becoming a professional trumpeter. While at the local high school (which is now a block of luxury apartments), he continued taking Trumpet lessons with the local peripatetic teacher - the young, up-and-coming Michael Laird. An eccentric, strict, but well-loved music teacher encouraged John to audition for a Junior Exhibition at the Royal College of Music. He was accepted, and so for the next six years, Saturday mornings were taken up with music lessons at the RCM. After taking A-levels, he went on to study Trumpet at the Royal Academy of Music with Sidney Ellison. The other love of his life was (and still is!) Mathematics and Science. While studying Trumpet a the RAM, he also began a Degree in Mathematics and Physics with the Open University, graduating with a First Class Honours degree and the DeBroigle Quantum Mechanics prize. He was a freelance musician and teacher for some years, including a private school in South London. While still teaching Brass there, he also started looking after the school's computers. When he began managing their systems, there were two old networks of RM Nimbus 186's, one of which was located in what used to be a changing room for the gymnasium! This was in the very early days of computing in schools. A year later, he was appointed Head of IT and Network Manager, and trumpet playing took a back seat. But it never stopped! While teaching IT, he also went back to his studies with the Open University – this time a Masters Degree in Computing. After almost ten year's teaching, John Hackett decided to go it alone and take up opportunities to work as an IT consultant building on his experience in Education and the Arts. He is now Director of Icon Information Systems Ltd, lives with his violinist wife in London and still enjoys playing for several amateur orchestras in London, including the Kensington Symphony Orchestra and, as Principal Trumpet, with the Salomon and Covent Garden Chamber orchestras. In this interview with John, you'll learn: -John's beginnings on trumpet... -Realizing trumpet isn't the best path... -Finding a niche to make a true impact... -What's it like to exist in an industry that has changed so dramatically over the last few decades (think musicians can relate to this?)... -How musicians today are collaborating using technology from remote locations... -That which musicians excoriated was the only creative outlet they had during the pandemic... -James' theory on why vinyl is making a comeback... -John recounts the experience presenting at the ITG online conference... -Tips on remote recording...

Hospice chaplain Michael Laird shares stories of clients. He says ninety percent of them have visions of "the other side" before passing on. Some see deceased relatives and ancestors; others see holy figures like Buddha and Jesus. All of the visions appear positive and function like assurances that a place is being prepared for them on the other side. This is a fascinating podcast because it is, in a sense, research into the dying process and can give viewers hope of a World Without End.For our free illustrated eBook on The Christian Mystics, go here. https://contemplativelight1.lpages.co/a-beginners-guide-to-the-christian-mystics/Support the show (https://contemplativelight.org/)

Declan's an interesting character. In that, he's an actor, so by default he's a character. He can switch in and out of accents. He plays different roles. Different careers. Different, well, characters. “Growing up I always loved movies - loved movies. I saw them as an escape, probably because when I went to the cinema and I was watching a movie, your mind shuts off for two hours and you’re not thinking about anything else and I used to see it as an escape. I used to watch the movies and think, I could do that! I could act like that. I could be that character.” When I first met him, I assumed him to be a budding producer. After all, he came into the VICE offices to pitch something to our team. In my haste to be prepared for the meeting, I googled the guy. Actor. Football player. Scottish. Producer? I don't get it. Which one am I dealing with right now. That was me, then. Fearful of The Unknown. Wanting to set myself up for success. Playing my cards right.  Last summer, as I was freshly embarking on my Recovery, Declan's instagram profile popped up. Mental Health Advocate. Hmph, I thought. Was that always written there? Or had I not paid much attention to it. Selective Learning. We miss a lot when we're trying to predict the situation and its' outcome.  I reached out. We talked on the phone. He told me his story, similar to the one you'll hear on this podcast. Raw, Transparent, Honest, Vulnerable. All the things I was striving towards. It's funny, right? How much choice we have in what we see? It was there all along, that Declan character, but I didn't want to see it. Perhaps, couldn't. But I could see him now. Clearly. We set a date and in the summer of 2017 we recorded this pod. I edited it a few weeks back, the content even more relevant than before. Now, with 25 Workshops in my belt, I have spent enough time with Men to fully understand the gems Declan was throwing my way. Like this "The conversation needs to be opened up to things like mental health. To things like addiction. Because nowadays, especially with social media, the rates of depression, bi-polar disorder, of any of these inner turmoil conditions that people are facing are going up dramatically." And this “Things like social media - no one puts the truth to what’s going on. It’s a highlight reel of their life, of their very best moments of every day, or every week, or every month. People then start to compare their insides to other people’s outsides and I think that’s a very dangerous place to be.” And this “My friend might call me and say, ‘hey how are you doing’ and you tell the truth, you go, ‘you know what man I’m actually having a really shitty day’ and that person on the phone goes ‘fuck so am I’, and you talk about it together on a real level. Then suddenly you get on a level where you’re a lot more comfortable talking about it with everyone.” There's plenty more. His life trajectory is quite fascinating, filled with characters, roles, changes, ups + downs, and most importantly, failures. “Not being excellent in everything that you do is okay. Nobody’s excellent at everything. Nobody’s great at everything. And constant failure is the key to success.” I'll let him take it from here.

This week we have yet another Scottish implant to Los Angeles, Declan Laird's story tells us how big an innocent $25 bet can become. Declan's Bio: Declan Michael Laird is a Scottish native now living in Los Angeles. Declan loves soccer, performing...ooh and staying out of trouble. Twitter: @declanmlaird YouTellYours.com was started by Lynn Ferguson after becoming embroiled in the storytelling community in Los Angeles. Lynn firmly believed that we all have stories to tell and so started teaching storytelling in Burbank. Since then we've confirmed that no only does everyone have a story to tell, but also that telling those stories enriches both the teller and the audience, creating connections and a sense of community. Our storytelling classes are available in Burbank, California with end of class storytelling events most months. We also deliver online storytelling courses with direct feedback incorporated into the experience.

I had the pleasure of interviewing our first sound designer. Michael Laird is a sound systems designer rather than a composition designer and we discuss the difference between these two disciplines in the context of live theatre. Michael is an established designer and operator but he is early in his career so we focus less on his resume and more on developing a base for future discussions with senior designers about sound. Michael also focuses on live musical theatre reinforcement rather than scoring behind acoustic voices in small theatre so there is still a large world of sound design to explore: this episode has really given me a vocabulary to speak to other sound designers and I am sure you will feel the same. We also have a discussion about sound designers as collaborators and the removal of the sound design award from the 2014-15 Tony Awards. This episode is also the debut of both a new theme, composed by sound designer Verne Good with voice over by lighting designer Gabriel Cropley, and the start of our Patreon campaign.
