my name is neal

Who am I and who cares what I have to say?

My name is Neal and I produce an Internet TV show called GeekBrief.TV with my wife Luria (aka, Cali).

I have an MA in Psychology, but never planned to practice. I had it in my head I would be a pop psychologist when I grew up. I would write books and speak. Then people started talking about this Internet thing. I checked it out and got hooked. I started desigining Web sites and before I knew it, we had a nice little business that wasn’t going to make it through the bursting of the dot com bubble, but for a few years, it was good.

The bubble popped, we hopped off the ride, got day jobs and started writing a book–a novel. The book was three-fourths of the way done, when Katrina hit New Orleans, and since the book was set in New Orleans, we shelved it for a while. Inspired by Dawn and Drew, we decided we would become professional podcasters, and we did.

So who cares what I have to say? I’m not sure anyone should or will, and that’s okay. A kid who majors in psychology tends to enjoy some self analysis, so for me, that’s what this is about…writing what’s on my mind to see if I feel better when I’m done.

I’ll probably write about marketing, our lives as professional podcasters, and my struggle to keep loving God the same way I did when I was a kid.
