E73: Brandon Newbould | Music Is The Shorthand Of Emotion

Brandon Newbould joins the show this week.  “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less.:  -CS Lewis.  In this age of endless self-promotion, in which achievements, position, and influence blow down from high like a Chinook wind, Brandon is a breath of fresh air.  He doesn’t post on Facebook otherwise you’d probably already know he’s an accomplished professional musician.  He doesn’t use Instagram or you’d already know he won the Baystate Marathon twice (8 years apart), PR’ing that second win.  Lastly, he doesn’t have an X account, or you undoubtedly would have noticed that, as a prep school XC and track coach, he’s help develop athletes with professional running career aspirations.  All of this is what makes him so incredibly fascinating.  If you really want to know what makes him tick, rather than asking how his running is going, ask him what book he’s reading.
