If you’ve listened to our podcast for any length of time, you know that from a technical standpoint, whatever can go wrong typically will go wrong. Because Melanie and I have somewhat limited technical / production skills.
Well.
On this episode Melanie and I talk to our (hilarious) (also deeply gifted) singer / songwriter / comedian friend Dave Barnes, and unfortunately I forgot to hit “record” for the first 15-20 minutes of our conversation. SO THERE’S THAT. And what that means for you, dear listener, is that when I finally did in fact hit the record button, we were smack-dab in the middle of a conversation about the Enneagram and introversion / extroversion. So just stick with us during what will certainly feel like conversational whiplash. It’ll all make sense soon enough.
And despite my personal technical ineptitude, I have to say that talking with Dave was super encouraging for Melanie and me (and I think it will be for you, too). He has such great perspective on writing / creating, and the way he thinks through that whole process was really therapeutic for us. We talk a lot about calling and the vulnerability involved in walking out whatever that calling happens to be – not to mention that we laugh a ton.
We also talk about the State / Ole Miss rivalry. Because OF COURSE. Just keep in mind that we recorded this episode before Mullen and Sumlin left the Bulldogs and the Aggies, respectively (WHAT WE DIDN’T KNOW, y’all. WHAT WE DIDN’T KNOW).
Enjoy, everybody!

Hi Sophie! I’ve been listening to your podcasts, reading your books, and following your blogposts for about 2 years now. I recently manually entered your blog to see if maybe I’m somehow not receiving regular entries (I’ve been a little out of pocket with several family moves and my own!)…. only to find that you haven’t been blogging much for several months. Have you decided to quit blogging? I hope not, but I still follow you through the podcast and your books.
Love love love you guys!! Thanks for taking the time to do these podcasts. Here’s a link I think you’ll enjoy.
