A few murmurings from a Bond fan...

You think it's easy to get gifts for us James Bond fans? It isn't! In fact it's downright challenging and in this podcast I discuss some of the reasons why WE are some of the most difficult people to shop for....

It's the holiday season, and in this podcast episode I discuss some of the things I am thankful for in the Bond Community and the need to be appreciative for what WE have, vs. what we don't have... It's an episode for EVERYONE, no matter what corner of the Bond World you relate to.

On October 14th at the Hippodrome Casino in London, from 1pm-6pm, come experience this free Bond fan event....

A contemplative moment around a celebration makes me think about how fortunate we are to have the connections and relationships we have...

Ugh! I fell hard from the the Bond Fitness Challenge that many of us have embarked upon. Too much eating, drinking, and not enough exercise. So what do I do? Have a listen as I kick off my journey to get back to my target and goals....

Reflections of the GATHERALL 4 event....

GATHERALL 4 is nearly upon us, so here is some mission critical information for those attending or thinking of attending!

What happens when you seamlessly weave Bond ACTIVITIES into your vacation? The side effects are significant and profound!

A Bond event with Bond lifestylers from around the globe, but what to wear? Well, there are some details to know in order to make that decision and MORE!

As we approach GATHERALL 4, I contemplate the psychology around WHY we Bond fans feel so compelled to come together!

The escapism and fantasy fuels our love of the Bond franchise, but how does this effect our real world? And more importantly, do appreciators of Bond have more of a sense of fantasy as part of the DNA? And is that a bad thing? I explore these thoughts and more in this episode.

Is there such a thing as too much Bond content? In this podcast I discuss this question and contemplate the creation of prolific 007 stories and experiences.

What drives the motivated Bond fan? It's what drives 007 himself, a MISSION! In this podcast I discuss the inspiration of how we will carry on as fans and create experiences in this non-movie time....

In the journey of Bond Fitness, one should set goals around WHY they are doing what they are doing, as well as time or event goals. In this podcast I discuss my personal goals and how I develop them....

Much of the content I create or co-create with others is opinion based, which adds spice and flavor to an otherwise repetitive conversation. But when those views are shared, the tendency of people is to LABEL someone in a particular category based solely on said opinion . But are we Bond fans more complicated than a simplistic label? In this podcast I discuss this subject in relation to a recent conversation on the Fleming Bond book edits and argue that varied opinions, even counter to your own, should be welcomed and embraced.

"It’s a weird time to be a James Bond fan."

So starts a recent article by Bill Koenig , owner of The Spy Command channel. In his article he discusses Bond fans being in a weird time of 'No Bond'. In this podcast I discuss my thoughts on his article and ruminate on the status of potentially a neutral moment in the world of 007 for fans.... Original article the podcast is based can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/4a4rpbtu

In this podcast I take a look at how we are doing year-to-date on our James Bond journey....

Lots of rumors and speculation in the world of James Bond, so in this podcast I address some of the "news" that the media has pushed out....

I hope you all take a moment to listen to this episode...it's a little off the beaten track for Bond, yet dead on as well. Bond is a character that practices self-care but in a society where focusing on YOU is often looked down upon, its actually more important now than ever to be like Bond in this regard....

A contemplative discussion on WHY I focus on certain content on The Bond Experience channel....
