This is the first episode of the Outsiders Journey Podcast. As such, I was gently trying to find my voice, i.e. comfort level with the situation. I'm a loud guy, normally. Not so much with this first broadcast. It was a tricky experience to settle into, at first. But you'll see that I picked up some juice the longer I spoke. Got kinda pumped around the middle. Carried it through to the end. Since then, I've come to really dig the act of podcasting. OK. You'll hear some of the key things that led me to here, some ideas of why certain Outsiders are as they are and will NEVER be like "normal" folks (thank God). I'll turn you on to a few really powerful resources for seeing if you're one of us or not and what to do about it if you are. Subscribe To OJ Podcast!
