I like your idea. I will have to contemplate the questions... Here are a few ideas: What do you feel your purpose is? What gives you hope now and why? Why do you think this world exists? What is the most loving way to exist? What does transformation and change look like for you?

YES!!! We sure are in sync, my sister, because these are questions I have also thought of to ask.

Thank you so much for your comment. I’m about to reply to your email! ❤️

Yes, I did check it out and enjoyed what you call out and point to exploring more deeply. I look forward to reading future offerings. Thank you.

Nice idea. Would offer to be interviewed, but I'm oceans and continents away. But who knows, once your podcast grows and you embark on a global tour - let's call it "Global Conversations" - perhaps we can meet in Nairobi.

Don't know about asking the same 8-10 questions to every guest though. How about different questions to guests to enrich the podcast (same questions sounds mechanical and rigid)?

8-10 appears a lot also, how about few, even one, and then we go deep, real deep? I like a podcast where people just talk, exploring ideas to their full length. Idk, 1-3 would do. Just thinking.

Just offering these suggestions because you asked, I'm sure you know what's best. Once again, nice idea. I hope it does well.

I appreciate and love ALL of your suggestions, Patrick! Thank you very much. :)

You could be a guest if we zoomed, no? I'm planning on zoom for all convos.

"Don't know about asking the same 8-10 questions to every guest though."

I hear you.

Knowing myself, I need to start a new project without it being too daunting or out of my ordinary, or else it just doesn't get done. So my thinking is, if I had a set of questions that probe at deep answers it would A. allow me to show up as the host without the pressure of having to be AMAZING, and B. the answers would be so varied and interesting as to negate the sameness of the questions.

It is a brand new venture...so I am open to any and all ideas that serve to make it the best it can be!

You're welcome. Yes, Zoom can do. Again yes, esp on "the answers would be so varied and interesting as to negate the sameness of the questions." I'm sure it'll do well.

Well, here's one question that may be more targeted towards a certain type of guest:

"What Challenges Do You Face in Writing About Real People?"

I like it. I haven’t done much of that, but I can imagine it gets tricky to walk the line between honesty and respect for privacy.

Beautifully spoken, Jacqueline. Keep on!

H O L E Y T O L E D O A N D E V E R Y O T H E R P L A C E N O R T H S O U T H E A S T A N D W E S T O F H E R E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am standing here beside myself. I have witnessed a birth. I must take a moment to gather myself. This is a beautiful moment. There is magic in the air. You made me cry and stare in wonder. It's like that. *feeling self, checking arms and legs.....yeah. Okay. WOW. You have my 100% support. Geez and Geehozeefatts. Clearly I don't know what to say. Your presentation is a thing of beauty, in every way. Your voice and your care and your words and your images and your ideas and your music and everything is just incredible. You are embarking on a journey this day. And we are lucky enough to walk along side of you. I feel like I should light off some firecrackers or something. I can't hit enter on this. It's still just hitting me. You have no idea how much you are inspiring me right now.

AWESOME.

How and when is who's what's where, and Why.

Well that's six.

There's also Quark Strangeness, charm, spin and probably a probability of , never mind don't look in the box unless you don't like cats. I love murder floofs, Ignore the dog.

Thanks man!! 🙏

Glad you like the idea and I appreciate all your suggestions- even the weird ones.

I could never ignore a dog though- it hurts just thinking about it.

Expand full comment

It's not really a dog tho, it's a sheep in wolves clothing that's gone baaad.

Rock on.

Interesting idea! I would enjoy watching a group of writers answering deep questions through the perspective/voice of the characters they've created/channeled.

Expand full comment

Ahh that is an interesting angle. I suppose it would be good to have a set of questions specifically for fiction writers. Thank you so much for your comment! 🙏

It is always when we quiet the mind when we can hear what is being “said” to us - I think you “heard “ a great idea and expanding it sounds wonderful - best wishes and sending love ( because it triumphs everything ) to your new venture !
