When I started this, it was a project to keep sharp. Having conversations with interesting people and learning. I’m always trying to learn each day.
Today we hit a magical number, 50,000 downloads of Beyond the Mic with Sean Dillon.
It’s a labor of love. I don’t make money for this. I do it because my grandfather and grandmother passed and I know they had incredible stories to tell me. I always thought tomorrow would be the day when I sat down in front of them and let them start talking.
Recording those stories would have kept them from disappearing.
So I want to find the stories, from people you THINK you know. If I can get them to tell me one story, one thing that people might not know and when they do, BINGO, it’s never gone.
I asked someone I work to bring you these conversations to describe Beyond the Mic. Why her clients love working with me.
“I can assure you there are plenty of things that make your conversations stand out. However, I believe the #1 thing that makes them so unique is that you ask more questions about the person than the production. Everything moves very quickly when it comes to entertainment. With the constant travel and tight schedules, it’s pretty rare for an interview with a cast member to exceed 15 minutes or include anything more than a few surface level questions.
I think the reason that I get so much positive feedback from the press agents and the people you speak with is that you try to get to know them, and ask the kind of questions that allow your listeners to get to know them as well.”
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for allowing me into your cars, living rooms and wherever you listen.
I’m always looking for a good story, because I am a story teller and a listener.
If there is someone I need to go Beyond the Mic with, let me and them know. This project is successful because of you. If you would like to help, it’s easy. Share a story YOU like with a friend who would like it too!
From my family to you. Thank you and to the next 50,000 downloads.
