Ryan: I was pretty impressed as well, and with barely any coaching!

I completely agree — when you’re reading a book or a news article or a blog post, it helps to develop your own ideas — almost like one idea can spark a thousand more. And I think that only really works like that when you’re passionate about what you’re doing. I’m glad to see you’ve found that for yourself, you’re doing great things with your blog and your work.

It’s so fun to get to know each other not just as bloggers but on another level — as people with passions. Jun is doing a great job in that respect, especially.

Joan: I’m so happy that you could stop by and so appreciate your words. I hope we can see each other in person soon, it’s been too long! Please give my love to all!

I can totally relate to how writing kind of spurns out of our passions. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that when I’m burned out in the real world I have the hardest time sitting down and writing, yet after reading a few posts from my favorite writers, or watching a Gary V keynote, etc. I all of sudden have more ideas than I could ever put on paper.

I really enjoyed watching your video. Jun’s done a great job helping us all get to know each other better!

It was absolutely a pleasure interviewing you. I hope to hang out sometime soon. Maybe at the end of the year when I go to the East Coast!
