What a profound and captivating interview that I had with Bre Morrissey as we talk about the background of her new album, While You've Been Gone. From the loss of her brother, to understanding her self-worth, and much more, Bre goes indepth on the creative process, and how music has been a catharsis for her. Check out the LinkTree below for all the content we referenced in the interview!

Recently, I have had the wonderful opportunity to get into audiobook and voice acting work. Today, I sit down with the author of the Golden Copper series, Rex Rian. Rex and I dive into the characters of the novels, the principles in which the novels wish to teach, and the inspiration that went into it. Start off with a sample of the audiobook we completed, Golden Sapphire: Treasures in Life and Beyond. The audiobook, along with the ebook and hard copy, can be purchased at the links below!

Every episode holds a very special place in my heart, but this was particularly meaningful for me becauseI was able to interview the woman who was my first musical instructor- and it was her first ever podcast appearance! On today's episode, it's my honor to introduce award winning singer/songwriter/guitarist/educator Helen Avakian.
It has been a while since Helen and I have seen each other, but it was wonderful catching up, and learning even more about her backstory. Bringing it back to her early education Delaware, to how she moved to New York and how we met, to where she is now in Wisconsin, Helen went into detail about how her passion grew. We also had an indepth conversation on focal dystonia, her challenges with it, and how mindful practice is key to building your skills and overall health. And lastly, we wrap things up about talking about some musical achievements, including the story behind her 2014 Fingerstyle Championship win along with other amazing awards and accomplishments.
In regards to music, Helen had some fun with aliteration. So, on today's Walsh Wednesday, you get to hear "Wilma's Waltz" and "Waking Up in Winfield," both accompanied by her partner, David Irwin.
For links people can find Helen Avakian at www.helenavakian.com as an artist and instructor.

Hey everybody! We reached Episode 30! And it is just me this week. I thought we could have a narative about things opening up again, and the feelingss that come along with it. The pandemic has been difficult on us all, and as things get back to "normal," we need to recognize how we have changed, for better or for worse. Only then we can properly move forward into this new world, at whatever pace we choose. I hope you take the time to join me this week because I feel this episode could be quite the cathartic experience, especially if you have been feeling alone and overwhelmed lately.

Thank you for tuning into this marvelous episode of Walsh Wednesday. This week, we have musician and actor Jarrad Green. Jarrad shares with us much of his love for theatre, his years on the stage, how he has pivoted since the pandemic, his recent marriage and move to the UK, and much more! Jarrad and I talk deeply about what the arts and the craft mean to us, along with the importance of understanding that we are also more than our profession. I know that it was a conversation I needed. As artists, we are not solely just our craft, and we have to take the time and energy to acknowledge that, and own who we are entirely. Quite the inspiring episode, so may sure you save this episode, it is not one you would want to miss!

Welcome back to Walsh Wednesday: The Reflective Series! As we begin a new chapter on the podcast, we are ending an old one. This episode ends “That First Step,” as you know it as of now… TFS is not necessarily going away, but taking a new shape, and we are excited to share it with you!
We’d also like to introduce you to our next step with our good friend, Stefan Feibel! Stefan will be joining Harrison and I moving forward with new videos, podcasts, and other creative endeavors.
Listen in on the first third of the episode as we talk about our vision for the future, and what you can look forward to! The next third is about Harrison and I recapping our progress from TFS. And stick around for the last third to hear us derail the whole episode, and just be really silly. Essentially, you get a good glimpse at our dynamic! We have fun, and we hope you’ll have fun with us!
Stay tuned, and stay hungry for some Porridge Co… or Porridge Productions… or Porridge Inc… Porridge Co., let’s go with that!
