An Interview on “Being Healthy for Busy People”

by 1 Comment

I had the pleasure of being Talli van Sunder’s first interview on a show that seems tailor-made for me: Being Healthy for Busy People. This is Talli’s platform to encourage healthy living and good eating habits for people on the go…and this is why it has taken me so long to post it. It’s been a go-go-go kind of weekend.

Still, the interview is worth the wait:

This week we are going to do something different with the show. A few weeks ago on Show #26, I talked about my journey to becoming healthier. That show got a really positive response, so I thought that it would be interesting to all of you if I interviewed a guest occasionally and discussed how they fit being healthy into their busy life.

In this show, I interviewed Tee Morris who is an author, podcaster and an extremely busy person. We discussed some of the challenges Tee faced on his journey to becoming healthier and how he met them.

When they asked me for a show graphic, I found this one and realized just how hard I had worked and how important it is for me to stay healthy. It’s all about determination and drive, and sticking to your plan. And no, it won’t be perfect. I have fallen out of my groove of late, but slowly getting back in there. So if you see me on Twitter and I mark a workout with the hashtag #onourfeet you will know that I’m inviting you all to join me.

Take care of yourselves, be good to your body…and punish it on a treadmill or a pool! :^)

An interview on “Conversations with Coach Ian Scott”

by 5 Comments

Coach Ian Scott connected with me through my work on Podcasting for Dummies, both the podcast and the book. (No, the PFD Podcast hasn’t faded. It’s just been difficult to get to on the priority list.) I have been working with him on fine tuning both his podcasts, and as a way to say “Thank you” Ian invited me on his interview show “Conversations with Coach Ian Scott” which is a talk show featuring creative professionals from around the world. From his website, Ian says about our interview:

We talk about Tee as a podcaster and author. Podcasting: How and Why organizations, corporations, and individuals should be utilizing the power of podcasting. Social Networking, the CES 2009 Expo of January 8 – 11. Projects Tee Morris is currently working on, and a new book on Twitter to be launched around the Summer of 2009. Oh, and we had some fun along the way!

We most certainly did that! In this interview, I give one of the reasons I have not been on Twitter recently. (It’s a good reason, trust me.) I also have a few announcements to make after I return from Farpoint. Enjoy the interview and please leave Ian a comment on his blog concerning the interview. He’d love to hear from you!

by Leave a Comment

Here is the conclusion of the exit interview
hosted by Cian McMahon
and featuring Philippa Ballantine
Thanks again to the View from the Quad podcast
for hosting this live call-in event.

VFTQ 130 – MOREVI interview part 2 can be downloaded at www.ViewFromTheQuad.com. Part one can be downloaded for free here, or at the link at the end of the shownotes

ANOTHER extra long episode, this time with the second half of the Tee Morris and Philippa Ballantine. In this half, the phone in really gets going, with lots of callers with amusing and intriguing questions.ALSO, we have an EXCLUSIVE about an amazing “Steampunk CSI” project Tee and Pip are working on! In my words, “That sounds so awesome!”

[display_podcast]

Same drinking rules apply, with two additions. Here is the revised list.

-Tee blows his nose.

-Pip punches Tee or Tee says “Owwwwwwwh!”

-Tee drinks Tea.

-Cian, Pip, Tee or any of the phone-in guests make a terrible joke which bombs, and Cian edits out the silence to make it sound less terrible.

-Anybody refers to the “Tee Morris… You Are Muted” meme from the last call-in show I did with him

-Tee makes a mistake as too what is possible in an online game. (This should put you back no more then four or so drinks. Maybe Tee needs to listen to Starting WoW!)

-Cian lies to a guest caller about his ability to pronounce their name

View from the Quad: The MOREVI Exit Interview (Part One)

by 2 Comments

This interview hosted by Cian McMahon
and featuring Philippa Ballantine
is part of the View from the Quad podcast.
Special thanks to Cian for hosting this live call-in event
and dealing with a very sick TeeMonster!

This extra long episode (just under an hour) of View From The Quad is the first half of the Exit Interview I did with Tee Morris and Philippa Ballantine about Tee’s podiobook, Morevi, which can be downloaded in full from Morevi.net.

Please note that at the time of recording, it seemed that both Pip and Tee were not going to make it through the day. They had a serious case of Con-Funk and a two hour long interview was pretty much the last thing that they needed to be doing.

[display_podcast]

With this in mind, I have developed a drinking game for this interview.
Take one drink any time one of the following happens
-Tee blows his nose.
-Pip punches Tee or Tee says “Owwwwwwwh!”
-Tee drinks Tea.
-Cian, Pip, Tee or any of the phone-in guests make a terrible joke which bombs, and Cian edits out the silence to make it sound less terrible.
-Anybody refers to the “Tee Morris… You Are Muted” meme from the last call-in show I did with him

Thanks for listening, and come back next time to hear lots more phonecalls, some terrible humour, and finally find out if Pip and Tee cough out their lungs.

Some Halloween fun…

by 11 Comments

My kid’s day school teacher heard (from my mother-in-law) that I used to be a professional puppeteer. She asked me if I would be interested in putting on a show for her kids. Even with the schedule I have, I couldn’t refuse because this was for Sonic Boom.

I was told to come up with something that the kids would enjoy, and following a History Channel documentary on Halloween, some shopping on the official store of TAPS and Puppet Universe, and a night of testing sound equipment and recording rigs, this was the end result. As I found myself flying completely solo in the morning, I can’t say this footage will be winning me a Parsec anytime soon…

…but it was a lot of fun, and it will probably not be my last trip there. Laugh with me, or laugh at me — you choose. Whatever the case, Happy Halloween!
