Episode 6: A Recipe for Brilliance

In a follow up to Epsiode 5, Terey introduces her listeners to the director who redirected her life. From an audition, on a whim, Terey was cast in a procuduction of A Christmas Carol, by the Prodcuing Artisitic Director of The Cookie Company at Phoenix Theatre. Alan Prewitt became a mainstay in Terey's life following that destined day on her way back to California. Unbeknownst to her, it was the day Terey moved to Arizona. This talented man, and now dear friend, Alan Prewitt, holds a beautiful place in her life for clearly significant reasons, most of which you will gather as you enjoy getting to know him in this episode.  

A rapping governor made me do it.

When it's 107 degrees, I will admit, I ask myself how did I get here. Meaning, Arizona. What was the lure? What was the bait? I thought it was a beautiful state, so it's not like it does't warrent a relocation. Many, many Californians do it, and have for years. Though I had never had the slightest yearning to move to this desert land, I did. Inadvertently. It was a gig and a character, and a long running show, that essentially moved me to Arizona. It was one of the best seasons in my life. And like the slushy that I'm slurping to refresh me, as we are breaking temperature record heat, recalling what "moved" me to Arizona sure helps me refresh, as the sweat rolls down the back of my legs. 

Episode 4: Oh brother!

We can't choose our family members. They happen without our having much say in the matter. But could we put in an order, and pick and choose who, let's say, our brother could be, like a custom order at In n Out for our double-double's, I got my perfect order. My brother is my friend and always has been. He is one of my very favorite people on the planet. I can't have a podcast with my name on it and not have at least- AT LEAST one episode totally dedicated to him. So, here he is. My brother. Mark Summers.

The Umpire Strikes Back

Ted Barrett has been a MLB Umpire for more than two decades. He's used to paying close attention, there behind the bases, watching and not talking.  And he's great at what he does. But when I sat down to take a swing at an interview with Ted, as you will soon learn, he is great behind the microphone. In his warm way, Ted shares about his career, the game, and how umpiring calls on him in ways that also serve him in life. There's so much to this guy, and all of it strikes me at the heart. As baseball returns for a modified season, enjoy getting to know this man who has his eye on the ball.  Play ball!  

Episode 2: I'm white. Help me understand. Help me know how to help.

Through a conversation with my friend Carlotta I arrive at a few ah-ha moments in understanding systemic racism and how I may really help.

Just a forgotten notation: A great source of education can begin with watching PBS's series "Reconstruction". 

Episode 1: Creatively speaking.

Episode 1 is all about my friend Brian Cole. Creatively speaking, he's a genius. We have had such a connection from the time we met, both creatively and heart to heart. Brian is a friend who is always choosing to support me in the best way he can. He generously offers his creative giftedness and friendship on behalf of me. I couldn't very well start this long awaited podcast launch and not honor the friend who truly roots for me with just about everything in him.

I can only hope you have a friend like mine.

Thank you Brian Cole. The Terey Summers Podcast has your fingerprints all over it. This episode is for you.
