Off The Cuff by HindLight Media

In our first-ever remote/virtual recording, I'm happy to have one of my very good friends Brent Bailey on the show this week! He and I met in my early days of high school; though, our close relationship began in 2012 when we collaborated on a feature-length documentary for his church as I was finishing up my degree in video production. Brent graduated from Liberty University in Virginia, and we ta...

Today I welcome Joy Battles to the show! Joy is a retired postal carrier and a personal family friend! Her son, Zach, is one of my all-time besties, and I've traveled with their family on more than one occasion—so I basically feel like one of their own. I've always had a particular interest in the U.S. postal service—mainly because my mind simply wanders from time to time. It's one of three things...

As promised, here is a bonus episode from yesterday's release featuring my friend Jack! The In The Moment series allows us to stray from our traditional format to bring you an intimate conversation that captures the essence of spontaneity.
