In this episode, Gordon interviews Brian Drake, the author of the Scott Stiletto novels.  Brian emerged from the self-publishing world and is now publishing novels through Wolfpack publishing.  His official bio reads... "A twenty-five year veteran of radio and television broadcasting, Brian Drake has spent his career in San Francisco where he’s filled writing, producing, and reporting duties with stations such as KPIX-TV, KCBS, KQED, among many others.  Currently carrying out sports and traffic reporting duties for Bloomberg 960, Brian Drake spends time between reports and carefully guarded morning and evening hours cranking out action/adventure tales.  A love of reading when he was younger inspired him to create his own stories, and he sold his first short story, “The Desperate Minutes,” to an obscure webzine when he was 25 (more years ago than he cares to remember, so don’t ask).  Many more short story sales followed before he expanded to novels, entering the self-publishing field

In this episode, Gordon follows up on the previous Free Friday episode where he talked about telling people, “ICNU”. This is when you encourage people by telling them, “I see in you _______.” It’s an opportunity to affirm and encourage people about what you see in their lives or what you see God doing in their lives. This initiative comes from author Dave Ferguson and his book “Hero Maker”. Learn more about both at http://www.heromakerbook.org/.  Gordon shares a personal story about when someone told him, “I see in you…” and pride snuck in wishing they said something different. Gordon shares one of his weaknesses so it might be an encouragement to you.  Thanks so much for listening.
