Speaker 1 (00:00):
Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.
He it's zerow. This is vocal d fragging. Vocal defragging
is taking the time to ask yourself the questions and
question the answers. Now, what we're about ready to do
(00:21):
here is not vocal defragging. This is just you and
I having a conversation allowing you to understand the importance
of asking those questions and then questioning those answers. Because
we're always running to people to locate answers. What gives
them the right to hold the answer that you think
you need to do and what happens if it doesn't
(00:41):
pay off. I don't know about you, but I've ghosted
a lot of people for giving me the wrong answers.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Oh that's not a happy place to be.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
But you know, you just ask yourself the questions and
you question the answers. I do it two different ways.
I do it with a vocal dfrag and I also
do it in a journal which I've kept since November
of twenty seventeen. Just ask yourself the questions and then
question the answers. This is vocal d frag the subject
this week. And I know you can relate with it
because I'm sure you've said it, but have you lived it,
(01:13):
lived it in the way of correcting the situation or
growing with or away from the situation. And that is
there's always something next, no matter what you're doing, what
is next? No wonder people live in their past, because
if you're living in your presence of right now, the
situation is this, you don't know what's next, and that
(01:36):
can be a really uncomfortable place to be because nobody
likes change, nobody likes being unknowing. So therefore we would
rather live in our past because we know what happens
next and we know what our reactions were, so we found.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Comfort in that next.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
But the problem is, and this is where people kind
of not go wrong, but they kind of step off
the beaten path. And that is when you return from
living in your past, those golden memories. Guess what, There's
always something next. Your next is getting back in this
real world. So how do you prepare for what is next?
(02:14):
I do a lot of show prepping. My wife and
I have a lot of deep conversations about writing the
story before it happens. Her side of the next is
that she says, if you're not prepared for what could
go wrong, then something next would involve the lack of
prep which could showcase you in a situation of unprofessionalism.
(02:36):
I totally get that, and I'm going to give you
a good example. I prep for every single live performance
that I do, be it on a podcast, or be
it at a wedding or some sort of outdoor performance.
I prep one hundred percent because I want to make
sure that I've got everything covered. And yes, my wife
and I do talk about what if it rains, what
(02:59):
if this doesn't show?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
What if? What if?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Because we're preparing for what could be next. That example
is I had a computer during a wedding ceremony freeze up.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
The music continued, but I couldn't load anything up.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Next was the bride walking in with her parents, but
I couldn't get the music onto the computer. So what
was the situation? What was next? That's what I had
to plan for and prep for. Did I freak out?
Not really, because I knew that I could get away
from this this next by being the professional that I am,
(03:36):
and it did work itself out, like maybe fifteen twenty
seconds before the bride and her parents were about ready
to go. In the reality of that story is a godwink.
My next was blessed by a godwink because I do
not know how that computer and that mixing board finally
started communicating, so that my next wasn't going to be
(03:58):
a disaster.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
But it didn't end there. For that particular wedding.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I happened to notice while the guests were arriving, I
was looking at the layout of the day because I'm
always prepped. It doesn't matter how many times that I
look over the notes or how many times I dig
in and start adding things to it. I have to
make sure that I am fully aware of everything. I'm
prepping myself. I took note that in the past six hours,
(04:23):
the bride and groom had added a final dance, a
final dance that included a song from the nineteen forties.
Oh no, I didn't have the song, Oh yes, My
next was filled with question, Oh no, what was going
to happen after that next? And it's next, and it's next?
(04:43):
What was going to be the situation? It was their
final dance on a day that I hoped was going
to be as beautiful as the love that they have
for each other. Of course, through careful reaction and not
freaking out and using total professionalism. The song we Got
Everything Ready to Go and it played on time. There's
(05:05):
always something next. How do you react to your next?
Do you do it by jumping into your past? Do
you do it by trying to get away from the
subject and creating things that maybe you don't need to
be talking about, or to divert yourself from the situation
to get yourself involved with another next, something that you
can handle. Ask yourself that question and then question the answers.
(05:29):
You can't predict what is next, but you can prepare
for it. I'm Marrow and that's vocal d frag

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
