It’s you and me and the earbuds

My publisher decided they would like an audio version of my book and contracted through audible.com to have my book on tape. So I’ve been driving out to Command Productions, a very cool recording studio in Sausalito and spending hours reading every word from my book.

 Thats’s right, you can now hear my voice motivating you, educating you, coaching you and climbing into your car stereo or ipod earbuds.

Recording  this has been very gratifying, I get to revisit every word, paragraph, chapter, and story from the entire book.  Sometimes it’s extremely grueling because every word must carry the same energy level and if one tiny tickle gets in my throat, Rob the sound engineer who is separated by a glass mirror says, “lets take that sentence from the top.” And I glare right back at him hoping he never heard that.

There’s also the tongue twisters that don’t seem to spill out easily, like when I read about the six sales stages in salesforce and it starts sounding like the sex sells stages….oops.

No seriously, this is gratifying and I can’t wait for someone clear across the planet who decides to go on a loooooooooong road trip and pops my audio into their car CD player or the sales guy who is ready to start his first job and uploads this on his iphone and learns the basics and more.

This will be available for the holidays so stay tuned, and I may be giving one of these away!
