I like to have conversations. I have tried my hand at writing, I have been a musician, I&#8217;ve even tried acting, but what I love more than anything is a good chat. Some of my best ideas come and go in a conversation and never make it to the written world. So, since I like people and I like stories and I&#8217;m a big fan of the underdog this is what I&#8217;m going to do. I&#8217;m going to talk to people and record it. These aren&#8217;t interviews exactly although I call them that sometimes. They are mini forums, one on ones,and brainstorming sessions. The subjects are known to me and maybe mostly the community of Richmond, Virginia but I don&#8217;t think that matters if you know em already you&#8217;ll get to know them a little here and maybe you&#8217;ll learn something about yourself. I want you to identify and I want you disagree and I want you to say so. Don&#8217;t be shy.This is a town square I&#8217;m sweeping it but it&#8217;s yours. Make yourself at home.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tantricconversation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/328703_226654534050927_100001191477287_642101_4337998_o.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-16\" alt=\"At the get-together\" src=\"http:\/\/tantricconversation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/328703_226654534050927_100001191477287_642101_4337998_o-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> -Curtis Payne<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been listening for a few years now.
