Readily Random with Larry Roberts

This episode of the podcast was EXTREMELY high energy and a ton of fun and ever so insightful.  It features a conversation between Dana Wilde and myself and it's one that you won't want to miss! Dana Wilde is an internationally known expert on how to intentionally and systematically change your mindset so you get better outcomes. After growing her own business from zero to a million dollars a year in under 19 months, Dana can teach you how to make money by being happy and get paid for being YOU!

I gotta be honest, this is an episode I didn't really want to release, but sometimes you gotta take one on the chin. With no voice left, I was forced to come up with something that would allow me to still do the episode and still salvage what's left of my vocal chords.  So, the Robot Edition was born. We talk about New Year's Eve plans and more on this shorter than average episode.

Merry Christmas everyone!  Thank you for being a part of the Readily Random family!  Earlier today, after I'm sure all of the early morning Christmas festivities had subsided I found it interesting to see how long it took some folks to get back to normal.  In some cases, I was blown away.  Christmas trees on the curb by 8am, people looking for open stores and one that really got me...a mom was asking in a Facebook group if there was any place open that would be something for teenagers to do.  

After an internal debate on whether or not a Christmas Eve episode would be something anyone would be interested in, I quickly found out that not only would folks be interested, but that they would join me for this episode of TMI! This one takes us back to this day in 1984 for a little top o'the charts review and the irony of the name of that song. Then, we talk taters in the oven, Wal-mart deliveries and lesson that you're never too old to learn!  

I'm feeling obligated to start this episode off with an apology for apparently missing last night.  However, I didn't miss, I just deleted the vid and didn't upload the episode.  Why?  Well, it wouldn't be a teaser if I told you here! Then we spend some time covering several holiday's that are similar to Christmas inluding...you guessed it, Festivus! So, grab your gladius, have a seat on your maximus and listen to this episode of the podcastimus!

This is a primary example of persistence.  My goal is to show up and hang out with everyone for at least 10 minutes and that's exactly what we did.  I assumed that most people would be out finishing up their Christmas shopping and it looked like that is what happened.  Topics this evening ranged from there only being 4 days left to get your shopping done to watching The Witcher on Netflix. So, take the next 10 minutes and check out this diamond in the rough!

During my daily review of the Facebook universe, I found an article out of our local Dallas Morning News newspaper.  It was an article written by a local comedian where she outlined why comedians do what they do regardless of how big the stage is.  It really spoke to me since comedy was such a huge influence on me my entire life and how podcasting has filled a similar creative void for me. Grab a tissue and snuggle up to your warmest bluetooth speaker and listen to your buddy Larry break it down for yo

10 Minutes In - 6 More Days

We're joined by Rudolph on this episode and he's shaking with anticipation!   I became a proud owner of this vibrating Rudolf by...you guessed it, winning the Ugly Sweater contest!!  It was a joy filled day thanks to my Catmas hoodie!   This episode also covers my review of Joker, which may not be exactly what you would expect. So, let's put a smile on that face!  Hit the play button and let's get after it!

This episode opens with a Christmas song being plucked out on a couple of banjo's by two fellas that call themselves The Moron Brothers.  You can hear more of their hilarious hi-jinx on their YouTube channel moronbrothersKY. The rest of the episode takes us through the torment of our garland scarf, my desperate desire to watch Joker, the value of audio branding and so much more in this longer than usual episode of Ten Minutes In! So, where did Mrs. Claus come from anyway?  Serious question! 

The Hidden Gem of Marketing Did you know that GOLDFISH have longer attention spans than humans do?  Especially with the increased number of distractions we have these days. Did you know that you have approximately 8 seconds to catch the attention of your intended audience?  That's a long time if you're strapped to the back of a 1200lb bull and you're tryin' to win the rodeo world championship, but a goldfish thinks about those fish flakes you just dropped in their bowl for a full second longer!

It's Monday Funday here in the TMI studio!  I got some new stuffs in the studio for the new Batman and his snack bowl!  Bet you can't guess what it is! Seems there was a mix up with this weeks vacation plans.  Big things are on the horizon at the office and I gotta watch my big mouth!  But, there is a lesson for everyone in here if you listen close. So crank up that Miracle Ear and listen to me drop some knowledge on ya!

Mr. Grinch! The green grouch with gravel in his throat and thistles between his toes greets us with an amazing rendition of his ever popular theme song!   Then we take the time to just chat it up a bit about last night's UFC, podcasting one sheets, recent cyber security attacks and more before we slither back out of the episode to our name sake's booming, baritone bars that could only be described in three words...stink...stank...stunk! So, sing along...if you can. 

This was more like 9 Minutes In, but it's not cause I don't love ya!  It's because it's fight night!  UFC 245 has been at the forefront of my mind all day and I'm stoked!  It's an insane card with massive consequences at stake! Get this!  The show now has a call in number!!  720-7-RANDOM Call in, leave me a message and let's talk about whatever YOU want to talk about.  Leave a message.  Ask a Question.  Or, just tell me what's on your mind!  Maybe I'll shout you out on the show!!

Lunch turned out to be  more interesting that I could have ever imagined today and you get to hear all about my fun, little adventure on this extended episode of TMI! I rode in my very first Tesla, sang Queen karaoke, enjoyed a mediocre filet mignon and discovered that dogs like 69...WHAT? We also talk about how the podcast audit went! So, grab some A1 steak sauce, butter up some bread and snack your way through this episode!
