STOPTIME: Live in the Moment.
Ranked in the top 5% of podcasts globally and winner of the 2022 Communicator Award for Podcasting, STOPTIME:Live in the Moment combines mindfulness, well being and the performing arts and features thought provoking and motivational conversations with high performing creative artists around practicing the art of living in the moment and embracing who we are, and where we are at.

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!
I hope you enjoy this episode with my friend and colleague Michael Alden as much as I did. Although his resume reads like a who’s who of the entertainment industry, I invited him to speak with me because I’ve had the great pleasure of knowing Michael on a personal level and wanted to offer you the chance to learn about someone who is not only a great proponent of the arts but a thoughtful human being who strives to live a meaningful life of purpose.
I’m certain that you will enjoy the rare insights into his journey from inventory boy to vice president of post production at MGM and so much more!
