Keith and Laura dive deep into the books, music, and experiences that have shaped their lives and continue to bring them joy.
Originally Released as part of Episode – 004 A Mixed Tape (09/28/2023), their conversation highlights the importance of surrounding oneself with positive influences and engaging in activities that spark creativity and personal growth.
Keith shares his excitement about Andy Weir’s “Project Hail Mary,” praising it as even better than “The Martian.” He also discusses his love for non-fiction books focused on personal development, mentioning “The Art of Possibility” as a current favorite. On the music front, Keith expresses his enthusiasm for John Batiste’s album “World Music Radio,” emphasizing the importance of giving challenging new music a chance.
Laura, on the other hand, finds inspiration in “Energy Speaks” by Lee Harris, using it as a tool for personal growth and mindfulness. She also shares her enjoyment of “A Death in Door County,” a murder mystery set in a familiar Wisconsin locale. Laura’s musical tastes are currently centered on LP’s new album “Love Lines,” which has reignited her passion for discovering new artists.
The conversation underscores the transformative power of books and music in shaping perspectives, providing comfort, and fueling personal growth. It serves as a reminder to actively seek out and surround one’s self with art and experiences that resonate and bring positivity to our lives.
As we navigate our daily routines, Keith and Laura encourage us to pause and consider: What books, music, or creative pursuits light us up? How can we incorporate more of these elements into our lives to foster joy, growth, and a sense of possibility?
Thanks for Joining Us.
**We talk at length about a favorite new artist of ours, LP. It came to our attention after recording and publishing the original episode, that in our discussion, we address LP with the incorrect pronouns. LP prefers they/them pronouns. We apologize for our oversight.
Our aim is to be inclusive and for people to feel comfortable listening, participating, sharing space with us. We can’t always be articulate. We wish we could. Even if we don’t have the ‘right’ words to express our thoughts all the time, we will continue to learn, grow, and make space for others as we strive to share and listen generously.**
