I'm taking some down time this week.
To relax. To read. To play guitar. To hang with my kids. To watch soccer.
To work on my book. And podcast.
A few weeks ago in a comment thread on one of my posts I shared a few pieces from the blog on my website.
The person I was conversing with said something like, "I love those pieces. Short. To the point. Almost like they're LinkedIn posts."
Funny you should say that, I said, because they are LinkedIn posts.
And I went on to explain that most of my LinkedIn posts get duplicated on my blog with about a six to eight week delay.
Ready made content. To stay relevant.
And an easy place to collect pieces for a book.
Tentatively titled "A White Guy Talking About Race and Other Stuff That Matters".
And a podcast with a simple format:
Short intro. Read a piece. Quick callout for a sponsor. Plug my work and upcoming book. End with a short guitar riff to wrap up.
Each podcast will max out at about three minutes.
Easily shareable for individuals, nonprofits, organizations – anyone, really! – to continue the conversation.
So that's what I'll be doing this week. Stay tuned for more soon.
And thanks to Rajkumari, Dominique, Nika, and others who have helped shape the direction of this project.
