There has been more than one occasion in my life when I began something new, I would cross the line into obsession.
Almost immediately, this became one of those incidents.
What started out as research and a rough draft kickstarter project
turned into an obsession. I had started out still unaware if I wanted
to devote the time and energy into such a project but that
indecisiveness quickly faded when I felt a long dormant passion that I
have for radio emerge.
Sounds cheesy doesn’t it? It does. But that is what really happened!
It had become clear that I had made my decision. Despite possibly
throwing away my career on a traditional FM station, I had no choice but
to chase this dream of mine into making this station become a reality.
This was not something I just conjured up on a whim, I have wanted to
do this for years. My decision had been reached and there was no going
back. I was all in.
In the first 24 hours since beginning the kickstarter project, I had
easily spent over 17 of those hours researching. Looking up what
permits and fees that needed to be paid, what equipment I needed to buy,
what music to play, etc. I even started this blog as a progression
blog to keep “backers” of the project well-informed. When I forced
myself to sleep I would toss and turn with the curse of continually
thinking of new ideas that could contribute to the project. Obsession
had taken a hold of me.
When I finally awoke the next morning, I was back at it again. I had a lot more work ahead of me.
