The supply chain for imported goods has been well and wholly disrupted. It has created weird gaps in areas we could not foresee and a few we have managed to anticipate and overcome. As the saying goes, we are not in the same boat, but we are in the same storm. Thank you for your patience as we continue to come up with solutions for every new challenge.
In this Weekend Update:

When Inspiration Strikes, Will You Be Ready?
While out on his weekly school visits, Drew had ideas for two impromptu videos: one recorded outside of a school and another while driving. In this video we take a deep dive in how to deploy gear that you can always have in your everyday carry to create great video content anytime, anywhere.

Excerpted from “Opportunity Will Knock, But Your Bags Must Be Packed” on The Podcasting Store's Medium page (link below)
“…Their Music Director backed out of conducting our performances at the last minute due to the widening gap in artistic vision with the Ballet’s administration, so that left us to find someone to conduct the orchestra for our scheduled performances. At the last minute, that job ended up falling to our Resident Conductor, Clotilde Otranto.
Fortunately, Clo was up to the task. She had been a ballet dancer in her native São Paulo, Brazil, retiring early from dancing due to injury. She then reinvented herself as a concert pianist, but unfortunately had to abandon that pursuit due to problems with her hands. Finally, she embarked on a career as a conductor, earning a Doctorate in Orchestral Conducting and working under legends of the podium like Seiji Osawa, Leonard Slatkin, and Leonard Bernstein.
In other words, she was uniquely qualified for the unexpected opportunity presented to her.
Her performances of that show were met with rave reviews from both the ensemble and the audience. After that, Clo was named the Principal Conductor of the Miami City Ballet. I lost track of her after I left Naples, but when I looked her up I discovered she was a full-time conductor for the New York City Ballet Orchestra, a post she has held since 2008.
What lesson can we learn from this? Someday, opportunity will knock at your door. You cannot know when it will be or what it will look like. When it does, recognizing it is not enough. You must have your bags already packed and ready to go along with it, wherever it will take you…”
