Work Life Play with Aaron McHugh
Technology
Friends, this episode is part of my tenth-anniversary series. I began podcasting in 2012 with borrowed equipment, no training, and an idea I wanted to explore. I experimented my way forward-one tiny steps, then the next. Back then, there was no map to Podcasting. I booked my first two guests before I knew how to record and publish an episode (they didn't know that).
I knew not why but remained compelled to explore beyond the map of my life experiences, expand my mind and heart, and curate stories of good humans.
"This is something I can’t NOT do, for reasons I’m unable to explain to anyone else and don’t fully understand myself, but that are nonetheless compelling.” -Parker Palmer.
You're listening to a decade of exploration. The fruits are beyond just inspiration, but transformation for myself and many of you.
Enjoy, experiment, and keep going. It's worth it.
-Aaron
Transmission For The Outsiders
If I stopped writing for a while, a pause from publishing and promoting, I'd more readily find the words below the surface.
I see now I may never catalog the anthologies of my soul while in silence.
I believed the world's volume and density were too much to puncture.
I broadcast on a lower frequency for those beyond the crowds.
I used to believe I needed to understand what I was trying to say; who's it for? What's it about? how will it help?
Now I know the grounded substance of my Life, my rooted strength, transmits "wake up to your Life. God's with us."
I'm puzzled by five-year plans, same-day shipping, fresh strawberries in February, Alexa, and how humans claim to love while radically excluding.
Call me a zealot of simplicity, sustainability, and radical love of outsiders.
It's Love who wrote the play.
Keep going-
Aaron
