**Apologies for the audio quality over the next few weeks. I'm experimenting w/new equipment to try and make this easier to do** What do you do when you are isolated to a hotel room running from the juggernaut that was a Cat 3 / 4 landfalling hurricane Milton? Well, let's do a podcast update w/a new lavalier (sp?) microphone from the TikTok shop. (spoiler alert - not very happy with this one!). The audio quality aside, I talk about being disrupted and how to pivot that into some positive productivity and much needed pause / rest to give perspective to this creator life. Again, sorry for the pops and ticks - more improvements to come! #timkuligfreemusic #timkuligfreemusicpodcast #disruptions #hotelroompodcasting #rawupdates…
