Hey there, my wise friends and welcome to Episode 32 of The Collective Wisdom Podcast, which is boldly titled Take The Time You Need. And that seems so fitting at the moment because taking the time to do stuff that matters has been a big part of August for me, and it always pays off. My guest this week is a very talented Canadian singer songwriter Michael Averill, whose song Thank you, you may have heard if you listen to the last episode of season three. I don't know that many Canadians but what I can say is that of the Canadians I do know 100% are really stellar people. And Michael doesn't disappoint. We talk about his creative songwriting process, and how it's taken him all over the world, including a trek to Nepal and a 3000 kilometre hike across Canada. As he shares some really intriguing insights about some of the magic that happens when you start to tune into those intuitive hits that so often, we ignore. Michael is someone who has taken the time to really reflect on what life is all about doing things you can because you want to and connecting with others along the way.
