Podcasts about michaelbrent

2024 is reaching an end, and I'm honestly looking forward to getting on with 2025! This year was a bit of a bust: the sudden loss of my Mum tainted most of the year with various repercussions, and even this podcast suffered from some neglect! But with a shiny new year ahead, I'm happy to look back on what travel I did manage in 2024, as well as talk about what seem to be the most likely travel trends for 2025. I also asked listeners about their resolutions for 2025 and I'm glad to include a wonderful selection of ideas - most especially because all of my listeners are so thoughtful! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and I look forward to being back in your ears every week in 2025. Happy travels!

He shares his journey of switching from a law career to writing, highlights the importance of storytelling, and how it affects communities.

Up until now, I've wanted the seasons of this podcast to be evergreen and act as a resource on how to write a particular element of a story. My desire to create short evergreen episodes focused on a single topic is the reason this podcast tends to be free of interviews. However, throughout season three, I will share short interviews with other writers discussing how they write stories, and in particular, I will try to interview as many writers who "pants" novels. But these interview episodes will be treated as bonus episodes and will not be the focus of the podcast season.In light of that, in this bonus episode, I chat with Michaelbrent Collings on how he writes his fiction novels.

Author Sumira Sarai, now sex advocate says "I wrote the book before Fifty Shades Of Grey, but I never released it, during the time I wanted to give people something to read in a poetic form, that would capture their attention, and give them something to think about. This book was intended to spice up the sex life of individuals, who needed help in the bedroom, and I think it has so far from those who have read the book. Since it's release I also wrote another book of poetry and released it free, "Safety Within Lust", which gives readers the opportunity learn about the precautions that should be taken before having sex, and how so many young females are constantly victims to lack of knowledge on sex."   Josh Gressel just had a book released by University of America Press (Embracing Envy:  Finding the Spiritual Treasure in Our Most Shameful Emotion) which talks about some of the deeper meaning behind what we envy and concrete steps we can take to use our envy to become better versions of ourselves Josh is a clinical psychologist and a practiced public speaker so I won't stutter on air.  Michaelbrent Collings is a #1 bestselling novelist and screenwriter.
