In this episode, I continue my four part series where I attempt to share as much as possible from my recent trip to Boston for the CNMC (Catholic New Media Celebration) hosted by SQPN (Star Quest Production Network). I was invited to come and speak during the event, as an expert in the field of podcasting and new media.

I would highly suggest that you start with episode 475 of this podcast which is the first part in this series. Also, full show notes can be found on that episode.

This episode covers everything following the official CNMC event, including the Boston Social Media Tweetup that I had organized and a totally awesome 24hrs spent with my dear friend, Fr. Roderick Vonhogen.

I would highly suggest that you start with episode 475 of this podcast which is the first part in this series. Also, full show notes can be found on that episode.

This episode actually covers the official CNMC event itself as well as my attendance of a Catholic Mass. It was the first time in 24 years since I had been to Catholic Mass. I will tell you that I actually considered not releasing this episode. In fact, this episode is very heavily edited. In it’s original form, I feel like I had shared a little too much. I wonder, as I post these show notes, if there is still a little too much shared here. However, as I listened to the edited version back, I do feel that I give a very genuine and authentic reaction to what it was like for me to attend this Catholic mass.

I want to say, for the record, that I found the folks from SQPN to be among the most generous, caring, and charitable people I have ever met. I felt at home with them and very much felt as though I was a member of their family.

In this episode, I begin a four part series where I attempt to share as much as possible from my recent trip to Boston for the CNMC (Catholic New Media Celebration) hosted by SQPN (Star Quest Production Network). I was invited to come and speak during the event, as an expert in the field of podcasting and new media.

So what was it like for me, a non-Catholic, Protestant, Christian to attend an all Catholic conference? In this first part of my four part series, I set the stage by explaining my history with the Catholic Church and my first impressions when asked, by Father Roderick, if I would be willing to come and speak with him.

Here are some photo highlights from my trip: (CLICK HERE FOR A FULL SLIDESHOW)

I Want To Make Less Bad Decisions

In this episode, I share some REALLY AMAZING things that have been going on with my business. I believe that sharing my experiences in this episode will be a continued source of inspiration for those who are considering the pursuit of their passion. Each week, I learn more about the possibilities that are out there for me. I simply share how blessed I feel to be where I am today in my business.

Also, in this episode, I share that I finished reading Dale Carnegie’s How To Win Friends And Influence People. I’ve been reading this book on and off for the past several months. I can honestly tell you that the concepts and principles provided in this book has helped me to grow by leaps and bounds. I feel like I’m a better husband, father, friend, etc. I can not think of a single relationship that I have with another human being that has not been positively impacted by soaking in all the insights gained from reading this book.

My only regret is that I didn’t read this book 20 years ago. If you have never read it. I highly suggest that you BUY IT TODAY!

Finally, I also share that while I am extremely blessed and things are going really well in most areas of my life. There have been a few occasions where I’ve made some poor decisions. Of course with each poor decision I make, I experience the consequences that come along with them. I share my heart that moving forward, I want to make a conscious effort to make less poor decisions.
