November 2024 – In October, I added another audiobook to the number of audiobooks I’ve produced and narrated — Stop the Hassle: Simplify, Satisfy, and Succeed by Jim Bramlett. I also continued production on the audiobook for my 2012 book Long-Form Improv, which is effectively a side project when I get time here and there. I anticipate I will finish work on that audiobook later this month, with about four production days left on the project.

So far this year, these are other audiobooks I’ve produced:

• Stop the Hassle: Simplify, Satisfy, and Succeed by Jim Bramlett
• Life Lessons From 7 Miles High: The View That Captured My Heart by Jeff Senour
• The Kings Have Won: The Battle For The Wealth Of Our Nation by Adrien Gold
• Unlimited Heart: How To Transform Your Pain Into Purpose; by Jim Kaveney
• The Art of Coaching: Mastering the Power and Principles for Executive and Personal Coaching by Raymond Friedman
• Campaign Civility by Dr. Ruben West
• We’re Overdosed by Barry I. Gold, PhD
• Irwin’s Luck (ebook version) by Veeraj Lal
• Irwin’s Luck (development version) by Veeraj Lal
• We’re Overdosed by Barry I. Gold, PhD
• The Art of an Organizational Leader by Raymond Friedman
• From Turmoil to Triumph by Anton Dabbs
• My Invisible Father: Turn on the Light to See the Unseen by Jaer Armstead-Jones
• Princess Max Conquers the World by Kevin Cripe

The list of all my audiobooks narrated to date are compiled here on my voiceover website, Voiceoverpro.co.  That business is my related to my other voiceover businesses with my wife, Voiced By Us and PoliticalVoiceovers.com!

Aside from that and a slew of voiceover jobs, I picked up work on several television shows, including continuing stand-in work on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. With respect to that show, something pretty cool happened in September. On the New York Times Podcast was an interview with the host, and he referenced my work on the show when talking about a fill-in host. Suffice it to say I was blown away. It was a nice addition to the Emmy Award wins the show gained earlier in September. I love working on this show.

My fitness routine has been irregular, but I’ve noticed I’m maintaining and even gaining strength. Much of my fitness was weights and jumping rope, though I did squeeze in at least one run!
