I’m excited to share a recent interview I had with Eric David Lough, artist and founder of the Famous Beard Oil Company. I’ve been following Eric for a while and have been really intrigued…and impressed…with his work. I was curious about what keeps him motivated with his art and business venture so I sat down to talk with him. He’s based in Denver, Colorado so we did a phone interview. I have to say that if you have some idea that you have been thinking about, or some project you want to start, this is a great story to get inside the head of a guy who is out there every day creating and making his dream come true. And, if you have a beard, or know someone who does, the last 10 minutes will really interest you. So, have a listen and i hope you enjoy.

The voice behind The Give Voice Project.

With the NFL football season coming to a close for all of the unlucky teams out there, I felt compelled to explore a topic that I've been fascinated with for years. And since The Give Voice Project is designed to showcase the extraordinary voices of everyday people, I wanted to know how a typical Cleveland Browns fan continues to be steadfast in their loyalty. They have suffered more than any other fan group that I know. Yet, in spite of year after year of season ending tragedies, they plug along. And I am one of them. I even put out a survey trying to understand what makes these diehard folks keep believing. Click on my audio blog to get a better understanding of fan loyalty.

I was introduced to yoga about 10 years ago. My first yoga experience was a lot more challenging than it probably should have been. I showed up really early with my brand new mat because I had no idea what to expect and wanted time to check out the place. Once I checked in and asked about a hundred questions, she told me to go in to the studio. I was 20 minutes early and asked what I was supposed to do in there for 20 minutes. The instructor politely said, "just sit on your mat." I asked for some magazines or something to read while I was waiting for class to start. She again told me to just go and 'sit.' It was an awkward 20 minutes. I didn't know what to do with my hands... my legs... my MIND. I was constantly looking for some stimuli to make my brain spin, because that's what it has been doing for the past 30 years- spinning. Class finally started, and an hour later, I was sold. It was the first time in my life I can remember ever being focused. My yoga has evolved over the past 10 years. And while it comes and goes in my life because I don't always go regularly; when I DO go, it is life-changing. I am able to, for the most part, comfortably sit on my mat and be still. Present. And while I don't exactly meditate, and anyone who knows me will say I could definitely benefit from more 'mindfulness in my life, I do by and large, 'get it.' I understand the powerful impact it can have in a person's life. A very good friend of mine has not only embraced mindfulness, she is taking it to a whole other level. She has co-founded Speak Your Soul, which helps people to not only create the space to 'be', but helps you take that off of the mat and into your every day world. Check out the audio blog and listen to Bridget Doyle, co-founder of Speak Your Soul' talk more about her initiative. Learn more at www.speakyoursoul.com
