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.
I've been working on this new daily discipline, and that
is you cannot go to your emails at any time
when you're inside the production studio, when you're in this

(00:22):
place of sharing. Do not go anywhere near texting, don't
place a phone call, do nothing but create a moment
of togetherness right here. Because in those moments that I
was receiving emails, I was texting, and I was calling
people up because I got to book my artists. I've
got to be able to have a future that I
can jump into that requires conversation. But what it did

(00:45):
was it took me away from you. I had program
directors in my past. I'd always tell me, erro, get
off the phone, Get off the phone. Do your radio show, please,
get off the radio station phone. I didn't understand it
at the time, maybe it was my age. But today,
as I look back, I sit here and I questioned myself,

(01:06):
why didn't you get off the phone, And that little
eighteen year old self would probably tell you because it
was part of the connection, learning to know who my
listeners were. We didn't have internet back then. We didn't
have Twitter, Facebook, we didn't have Instagram. We had a phone,
a fax machine. We had all of these things that
were there, but we didn't use them as the tools

(01:28):
that they needed to be. And that was placed over
there until I have time for you, because it takes
away from this you and me. Hey, Sara, this is
the daily mess, A chronological walk through in everyday world.
I am a daily writer, a silent wolf. I watch,
I study, I observe, I learned from I take notes,

(01:52):
and then we get to have a conversation. This is
the daily mess. A change is building? Am I the
only one that's saying that a change is building? Accepting
it is always a choice, But how long can you
keep reality at bay? Dealing with it one breath at

(02:12):
a time allows the pace of life to grow in
ways that clears the way that we think. But even
at that, the greatest teachers, preachers, and business leaders still
must face the changes that are building. If we could
just see one glimpse of one day next week, how
much would we change before the big change? Doctors try

(02:36):
to play that game with medical testing to get a
look at what's going on on the inside, and look
at what dentists do. Every six months, you got to
go in for that checkup because they're seeing things. Your
story is right there in your mouth. As a martial artist,
I was taught to listen to my entire body, which
I did. On July twenty first, two thousand and nine,

(02:56):
I was at a dock in the box, you know,
one of those street corner doctors like for emergency things.
I had a pain right here, right here in my
throat the right side of where you can feel my
vocal cords. You can feel everything right there, right there,
there was a pain. I thought maybe I had strap throat.
The doctor said, no, no, you don't have strep throat.

(03:18):
I think it's acid reflox. And I went, no, I'm
not tasting any acid in this. Huh huh, that's not
And so my wife and I we were joking around
July twenty first, two thousand and nine. I said, put
those little dotty things on me, let's see what's going
on there. I was listening to my body. I was
training myself for a future that was about to change.

(03:43):
The change was building six fifteen pm on the twenty
first of July two thousand and nine. I was having
a heart attack. Everybody thinks it's right here in the chest.
Everybody thinks it's in the left arm. M m. They
call it a silent killer for a reason. Preparing yourself
for the big change begins with body awareness. Your body

(04:07):
is going to talk to you no matter what. But
the question is do you have time to listen. I
was reading a story about our present day experiences with COVID,
and do you know that on the college campuses across
this nation, this is what's going on. According to this article,
if you get COVID, you have to leave. You've got

(04:29):
to put yourself in a different position for five days.
Students are ignoring the test. They accept the fact that
they're sick, but they won't take the COVID test, the
reason being they don't have five days to sacrifice. And
the same is true about the everyday job in this country.

(04:49):
You don't have the time to sacrifice, so we choose
to not take a COVID test. A change is bill?
Where is that change? If we could just spend one
day observing one day next week, what would the big
change be I'm Eryl, and that's the daily mess
