Today I have the opportunity to release an interview I did with my very talented Singer/Actor/Teacher husband, Robert Meilleur. Since I have started Cue To Cue people have been asking when am I going to interview Bob?! Today is the day!
I was definitely more nervous than usual leading up to this interview. I mean, this is my person! I always want to make sure I am honouring each guests journey and pulling out the biggest gems when I sit down with them so people can take away absolute most value from each episode but I definitely felt a little but of added pressure for this one ( completely self-inflicted of course). I, however, have trained myself that as soon as I start to feel nervous that is time to start before the nerves take over. So at the beginning of the interview I called him Robert, which I never do (I always call him Bob) and fumbled to find my words and then after a couple of minutes we found our rhythm and we were off! After 10 years of knowing Bob he is still surprising me. I learned some really interesting and new things and I love that after all this time I am still learning about this person. This artist. I am so grateful for that.
