Instead, I got asked to speak at Home Textiles Fabric Suppliers and gatherings. We decided instead to engage the audience during this time. As I did this, people would often ask, 'So when is your book coming out?' to which I would encourage them to read all the other wonderful books we'd used to develop our ideas. Once we got going, things flowed in an amazing way. DS: What was the most rewarding thing about writing and publishing your own book?
BG: It was the collaborations with my co-author, Dave Wolpert, artist Tina Hudock and the readers of the book. They all seek out dance partners or are lucky enough to recognize them when they show up. It's amazing how quickly you will get to your core! I also work with a wonderful partner in Austin, Dorsey Cartwright, who helps people experience the three energies through a Voice Dialogue session. Yet another friend, Steve Harper, has recently written his book,
The Ripple Effect, which applies the ideas in THF to relationships. DS: How do you 'find the time' to devote energy to so many different projects? BG: By working with others and enrolling them in my endeavors! Every project I've done has involved at least one other key 'Dance partner'. Having a number of paid customers before a single copy was printed was also a nice side result! DS: Who are the writers that have inspired you on your journey?
BG: Wow, there are so many! Here's a smattering that come to mind at the moment: Dr. DS: What inspired you to write the Human Fabric? BG: Interestingly, I had never planned to write a book. I think the world of Peter Gabriel and hope to work with him some day. Something magical happens when we bring others into our game and we truly get more done in the process. DS: What advise would you give to budding authors reading this interview? BG: Get started, get your work out there, find co-conspirators and know that you're on a unique path. We are all truly part of a great Oneness. I also love composing music and have recorded some of my songs. Seuss, Peter Drucker, Salman Rushdie, Herman Hesse, Paulo Coehlo, Lao Tzu, Michael Lewis, Malcolm Gladwell. So I gathered a few of my friends for beers at a local pub in Austin and thus Bootstrap Austin was started. When I find them, I keep exploring until we find the project we're meant to work on
