Announcements Videos

No Action News Crew this week, but we bring you the top announcements that impact your life this week, and provide you with a great look at Psalm 1 to encourage and challenge you on your journey this week.

It has been a week of difficult decisions. From it, I have two things to disclose. First I m taking a hiatus from development on Podiobooks.com. The reason is simple: I lack the time to do the PB 2.0 project justice. It kills me to admit that. When we started PB five years ago, I had two small kids, a simple 40 hour a week job, and my wife was not working. Now, I have a 12, 9, and 4 year old with all the commitments that follow from that, plus my wife is working full time, playing in two bands, teaching violin and fiddle, and I am working full time and filling in as Mr. Mom. It has become impossible to find the time to truly lead the project. Those things, combined with some recent health developments, have put the whammy on many of my personal projects. The PB2 project will go on (we are looking for new leads right now), and Evo and the PB2 team will continue driving it. It will grow and flourish, and I cannot wait to see where it goes next. Second Michelle and I will be recording the final Shadowdance podcast tonight. The reasons there are similar: my personal schedule and Michelle s schedule no longer match up quite as well. She s writing books, appearing on television and traveling, and I have my family and my career to look after. Also, my opinions on the subject matter of the show have changed, and I feel disingenuous continuing to give advice on a subject that I do not fully embrace. More on this in a future post. For the record, The Secret Lair is still going strong: Kris and I will continue with our fun until the men in white coats come after us to take us away.1 In fact, we just released Episode 29, chock full of goodness from the likes of Dr. John Cmar, Natalie Metzger, Jay Lynn, and our special guest, Mick Bradley. So, that s the news. How s your day? If they can get past the giant squid and the rabid zombie poodles.
