Enjoy!]]> I’ve been wanting to podcast for a while, but life has always seemed to get in the way. I decided this year would be the year where I’d give it a try, so I picked up a Blue Snowball microphone, made myself comfortable with GarageBand and started recording.

The result is a discussion about your Personal Image, a concept I first wrote about five years ago when I created my (suddenly timely, equally obscure) book A Bright Red Package. With so many people out of work, looking for work, etc. I decided it might be a good time to dust off the material and see if any of it was still relevant. Turns it it was.

So put on your headphones and take a listen. If you have feedback on how to improve it (make it shorter, make it funnier, never do it again, etc.) please let me know. I’m looking forward to exploring this with you!
