Misfit Radio: Hal O'Leary
For the last two years, AJ and a man named Hal O’Leary have exchanged poetic pleasantries over email. Hal is in his eighties; a World War II veteran; a former professor; a man of the theater; and a lifelong Misfit.
He is also a prolific writer, particularly of poetry, and has made a point of regularly responding to AJ's thought-provoking essays on the Pursuit of Everything with inspired, poetic replies. In fact, AJ now has an entire email folder dedicated to Hal's writing.
Recently, we had the honor of interviewing Hal for a new Misfit podcast series that will feature the remarkable Misfits within our community.
The following interview, produced by our Princess of Organising Chaos, Jessie White, and Fargo-based Wordsmith-in-Residence, Dane Johnson, records stories from a life driven by curiosity, surrounded by wars, and still clinging to the hope that man is innately good.
Without further adieu, we sincerely hope you enjoy the wisdom and poetry of Mr. Hal O’Leary.
Bonus track: If you want more of Hal's poetry in your life, listen to his reading of A Failed Man; a poem about his ongoing friction with society.
A Liberated Enterprise
As you may recall from an earlier post, Misfit Inc has a close and ongoing relationship with software magicians Apperian. They've been undergoing a bottom-up re-branding for a few months now, and we've been with them every step of the way. The sorts of things we've helped them conceptualize and produce ranged from the geekish to the beautiful (have a look at those murals again).
But, while software platforms and murals are good things, you can't wear either of them. For that reason, we've added a new quiver to Apperian's re-branding arrow: T-shirts. (Designed once more by the inimitable Miriam Castillo).
If only every company out there rocked t-shirts this good, eh?
