It's a simple show. You've got episode 38.

Hey, I'm Toshawkson Rider, and it's really good to be back. As you know, I took a bit of a work break this summer, and it was just fantastic.

I was barely online, and it was just what I needed to hit my reset

button. And on breaks like these, after a few weeks of staring into space, I usually start

brainstorming. I love my work and the creativity involved so I can't help but use this time of

white space to take a step back and evaluate what's working

and what's not and what changes I'd like to make. Well, I'm excited to tell you that I've had some

pretty big changes coming to the podcast this fall. I want to leave you in suspense for now,

but just know that they're coming. It'll all begin around early October, that's 2016,

because first, I want to share with you

a few conversations I did have over the summer.

I really did mostly stay offline, but I couldn't help myself, and I recorded a few chats

with some lovely people in the nooks and crannies of my time.

I've got four of these conversations, in fact, which is why the big podcast change is waiting until October.

All right, first up is my friend and writer at Shauna Nequist.

She's just released her latest work, Present Over Perfect, and it is a fantastic gym of a book.

It's actually right up our alley around here, so if you haven't checked it out yet, please do.

We've got a link to the book

on the show notes of this episode. That's the art of simple.net slash 38. So let's get right to it,

shall we? Here is my chat from the summer with Shauna Nequist. Hello, Shauna. How are you?

I'm good. How are you? I am doing very well. I am currently on my annual summer break,

and so I haven't been online in quite a while, and it has been the best thing ever.
