Almost Brothers Podcast
Fail to Prepare, Prepare to Fail
Preparation might just be the most underrated skill for reducing daily stress and creating freedom in our lives. The Almost Brothers explore this concept through their own struggles and successes, sharing candid stories that will make you reconsider your approach to planning.
When service providers announce they'll arrive "sometime between 9 and 5," it forces us to structure our entire day around their convenience - and they inevitably arrive at 4:45pm, just as we need to leave for another commitment. This frustrating scenario kicks off a deeper conversation about how proper preparation impacts everything from weight loss journeys to professional music recording sessions.
One host shares his intermittent fasting strategy as a form of preparation for health goals, while the musician in the group reveals how creating organized track lists transformed what could have been six chaotic hours of recording into a more productive four-hour session. The hosts don't shy away from their weaknesses either - confessing struggles with procrastination, organization, and the tendency to let meetings run long without boundaries, creating a domino effect that leaves entire days feeling rushed.
The podcast captures perfectly that unmistakable contrast between walking into a situation prepared versus unprepared. Whether leading worship services or managing daily family routines, "there is freedom in preparation" becomes the episode's unofficial mantra. Having buffer time—affectionately termed "wiggle room"—allows us to handle inevitable surprises without derailing our schedules or our peace of mind.
Ready to transform your approach to daily planning? Listen now to discover practical insights from three friends who've learned through trial and error that preparation isn't just about efficiency—it's about creating space for joy and showing respect for ourselves and others through thoughtful planning.

Speaker 4:That's a long episode, that's a series of episodes that's messed up the whole seat and they're both muted, so that was perfect timing. Yeah, but I know you were kind of telling a story. That's why I told you to hold up talking about like somebody having to come to your house to do something and they give you this large time period to do it. So go ahead with your story okay, yeah, uh.
Speaker 1:So yeah I had was having someone come chop some stuff down and clear some stuff out, uh in my yard, and they're like we're looking. I asked them one time. They said we're looking around the evening. I was like, okay, whenever I'm not going to be home, I'm going to be home. And they said as soon as we find a chain for our chainsaw we'll head out. And so me and him go to a jujitsu. We leave around 5.30, 5.15. We come back around 9.
Speaker 4:And they never showed up and they just never showed up. Yeah, speaking of being prepared, okay, we'll go back to your story One. Every single week, every week, like without fail, we record, and every single week, this man's phone goes off Like he doesn't know how to mute it.
Speaker 2:Every single week. Okay, first of all Wait a second wait, a second wait, a second.
Speaker 1:For the people not watching on live.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's Richard.
Speaker 1:It's Richard, Okay yeah.

Speaker 2:With a Z.
Speaker 1:Yeah, me and my sd card problems dang with az.
Speaker 2:Yeah, y'all just have memory problems.
Speaker 4:I know he did not just go there so, first of all, yeah I.
Speaker 2:I turned it off silent because I had it on silent last night so I thought that I turned it on to silent it usually is on silent.
Speaker 4:Every week it's on silent, it is, it just vibrates loudly oh, okay, so so a vibrating loudly would mean there was sound coming from your phone, so you would think you would move your phone to a place where it didn't interrupt the podcast recording do you want to feel how hard I can punch?
Speaker 2:We do not condone violence here on the Almost Brothers podcast You're about to get us kicked off again. That's all.
Speaker 1:I got.
Speaker 4:Talking about that. Don't you hate when cable company Cable guys. We'll be there tomorrow. Okay cool, I'm going to prepare. Get everything together.
Speaker 2:There are some people that won't have a clue what you're talking about, because cable man yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4:Okay, phone company, well, no, that's kind of the same thing. The plumber Internet. Come to hook up your internet.
Speaker 1:I have a modem, so I just plugged it in.
Speaker 4:Well, they had to hook it up for the thing to go into the modem.
Speaker 1:there they didn't come to my house though Then they had to Sometime.
Speaker 4:They had to come to your house, yeah.
Speaker 1:No, I have like a little box.
Speaker 4:I plugged into my outlet. Where did you get the box? From T-Mobile and they just what they just gave it to me. They just give it to you. Yeah, so they had to run wires, eventually out by your house so that you can get the internet. It may not have been while you were there, but sometime they had to run something around there so that you can get internet from their house or from your house.
Speaker 1:I feel like that's a little different from your situation.
Speaker 2:I feel like I don't know why we're talking about it.
Speaker 4:Well, can I get to the point?
Speaker 2:I didn't stop you.
Speaker 4:Mute, mute. Well, can I get to the point? I didn't stop you, ok, so I'm going to try to get to the point that I was trying to make before these two ok dumb and dumber over here. So when they tell you they have to come out to your house and they say, ok, I'll be there sometime from 9 to 5, and now you have to prepare your whole day around when they want to come out to your house. And how come? It's never the, the former, it's never the nine o'clock, 905, it's always like 4 45, so you're there just the whole day and then you have something going on.
Speaker 1:You gotta get going. They end up leaving.
Speaker 4:They come by oh guess what, sorry we missed you. Sorry we missed you. I've been hit with that a couple times. Sorry we missed you.
Speaker 2:Post on your door yeah, it's nonsense it's crazy well, I don't even understand like why you can't at least give like a two-hour window right right. Why does it have to be all day?
Speaker 4:and and and. Then they'll be like well, our, our guy, he'll call on his way over. And he calls and he's around the corner. He's like, hey, I'm about to pull in, that gives you no time to get there from anything.
Speaker 1:My thing is, whatever that is, whoever's doing it probably has been doing it long enough to know how long each job is going to take, so he may have three other places he's going to before you. He can probably determine hey, each one's going to take about an hour and a half. Yeah, I'll be at your place between 1 and 3 pm, right?
Speaker 2:okay, cool, now I've got a little bit more of a window there's no way that you don't have any idea how your day is going to go that's scheduled now, if something changes right hey, I'm gonna be.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna be a couple hours hours earlier. Yeah, you make that work, or?
Speaker 4:hey, I'm gonna be a couple hours later yep and and this thought I had sparked before you even started your story earlier, because you know we're talking about things that we're we're trying to trying to do throughout 2025 okay, you get the weight loss journey, you got music writing and then all of these things, and I preach every week, multiple times every week. In each of these things it takes a level of preparation and I'm good at I myself. I'm good at preparing a sermon, but bad at preparation in my everyday life and different things. So, what are some of the things that y'all see that you need to do and some things that y'all don't do well enough? Going towards preparing for you got kids coming up. You know preparing for kids, preparing you know to be able to get into the studio and make the most of the time that you have. Preparing for what I'm gonna eat today to stick on my diet and not just kind of throw stuff together. I'm so bad at it, man, I really am Sorry, sorry, my bad.
Speaker 2:He muted himself. I like it Equal opportunity muter. So in my weight loss, first of all, the main thing that I do is intermittent fasting, so I don't eat from 8 at night until 11 the next day, and that's huge in and of itself. Just doing that has been huge. And then intentionally not getting sugar in my diet. I avoid all sugar except for coffee, because it's what I use as a meal replacement. So that's my preparation. And now I've bought an exercise bike, so I'm starting to put some exercise in on that as well.
Speaker 4:I know Jamie is really good at preparing, like even her meals. She'll know, okay, tomorrow this is what I'm eating. This is what I'm eating.
Speaker 2:This is what I'm eating, and that's where I need to improve is is meal prep, because you know I drive for the transit, so I'm I never know where I'm going to be shout out dunklin county transit that's right, dct. Anyone can write. But there's, I just never know where I'm going to be, when I'm going to be, when I'm going to start my day. You know, it's, it's, it. It's a variable situation, so it's hard to prepare for that.
Speaker 4:How do you prepare going into a studio session? You've got one hour to record.
Speaker 1:Gosh, that's it, what do?
Speaker 4:you do in preparation for that.
Speaker 1:Well, one thing I've come to learn about recording. Well, one thing I've come to learn about recording because I'm learning as I go is no amount of time is enough time, yeah, yeah. So, like yesterday, I decided because I'm still in the process of writing.
Speaker 4:So I said OK, because I want to work on something, we'll do a cover. Three and a half hours, almost four, of just doing instruments.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just laying down and yeah, yeah, yeah, because you record all that right yeah, you do all your own music stuff because you have a music degree yes, oh my gosh, gotta throw that in there, yeah, just guitar.
Speaker 1:So I had two guitar tracks yes, the bass track and a couple percussion tracks so probably six tracks in all took about four hours and that's and that's, and I haven't done like any, like actual, like tweaking, tweaking. I just I they, I put on, I put on compression eq and that's about it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just the bass level yeah yeah, and that's really cool that you don't have to hire studio musicians to lay down those tracks.
Speaker 1:Yeah well, that's the beauty of it, and uh. But going back to preparation, I've learned um one thing about it. That I've learned so far is having a plan of what I want to record, what parts, if it's my own song or if it's a cover, what the instrumentation is going to be. Am I going to have an acoustic guitar? Am I going to have an electric guitar? Do I want a piano? Do I want some bass? Do I want a regular drum set or do some kind of auxiliary percussion sounds in there? Um, having that planned out is that way. When I'm because, because I did it yesterday I made a list of all, of of all the the parts that I want, and so I actually made that four, that three and a half four hours is actually probably could have been five or six. Yeah, because, because, instead of trying to figure out as I go, I at least made a list of all the tracks I knew that I wanted, yeah, and was able to.
Speaker 4:As soon as I finished them this one I go to the next one well and I know just watching you come from, you know, when you first started at at remnant and you came in and you were doing praise worships, to now the preparation has definitely grown just in you. You know you kind of come in and and and kind of be fumbling around, you'd start something, be like I'm, I'm completely in the wrong key sorry, everybody, start over. I'm, you know, and you'd kind of be fumbling around to now where you're like super prepared, you're ready to go and and things go pretty smoothly, like I know the last time that I played with you, we practiced and it was like 30 minutes. It's like all right, well, we're done, like it's good to go, like it all sounds good. You know, because you come in and you, being the leader, has it all prepared and it's ready to go. You know that's right, so that goes a long way.
Speaker 2:Do you think that being in that leadership role has prepared you for that and made you better at that?
Speaker 1:100, it's all, and it's always a.
Speaker 4:It's always a learning experience by fire yes 100 that's what I'm saying, like you know, hold up pause that for a second.
Speaker 2:I want to start doing something on our episodes okay where we do a this is what happens when you have an adhd host.
Speaker 4:Yes, it really is where we, where we do a tyler clears his throat counter oh, oh snap, yes so so we're at three so far this.
Speaker 2:You've been counting, yes, so he just did one. Now he's gonna be very conscious of it.
Speaker 4:He wants to do it right now. He looks away, okay, sorry, go ahead gosh, dang it. You made me self-conscious so every episode I want what happened. We're gonna take we're gonna take guesses secretly. You and me take a poll, yeah, and the closest one, without going over, wins we do, when we do video.
Speaker 1:There needs to be a counter like in that corner. Oh yes, oh yes, I love it anyways. Sorry, I don't remember what I'm saying I knew that would happen, yeah I'm so sorry um crap.
Speaker 2:Uh, you asked me something if uh being in that leadership role prepared you for being prepared.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, so because it's basically there's. No, it's not like a regular, you know, like job where someone's trained you and like, oh, here's your checklist, right of what you got to do before you clock out and all that it's. Uh, it's very much. You're just going with the flow and figuring out what works and what doesn't work yeah, and it changes every yeah, every time you do it.
Speaker 1:Yes, like even even now, after you know, in the position I'm, and now I'm still and every church is different, every worship team is different too I'm still figuring out what works and what doesn't work and how I need to lead the team and things like that. So really it's just like you said. It's like, like you said, it's kind of trial and error of figuring out what doesn't work, what does work, and holding onto the things that do and letting go of things that don't.
Speaker 4:And I know, I know for me, I know for me uh, that's four I know for me I'm going into whatever. I'm going into the next day. I'm going into a message, going into praise and worship, whatever it may be being prepared, I just feel more comfortable, more at ease going in and I know that ahead of time that if I prepare I'm going to go in feeling a lot better. But I still I'm a procrastinator, really, really bad. Yeah, you know. So there's a lot of times where I don't do that preparation that I need to and I go into it and I feel flustered and I feel rushed and every time I tell myself what I'm going to do better at getting ready for this ahead of time, like something as simple as getting my clothes ready the night before, getting the kids' clothes ready the night before, so we don't have that headache in the morning of rushing around trying to get stuff done.
Speaker 2:But I just ready the night before so we don't have that headache in the morning of rushing around trying to get stuff done. But I keep I just push it.
Speaker 4:I push it to the back.
Speaker 2:You know a lot of your problem is organization in general. Yes, I mean you're.
Speaker 1:You're a terrible organizer yes, correct, okay sorry I said we just make fun of how bad he is at organizing man.
Speaker 4:No, yeah, you're right, yeah and and it, and it comes from multitasking to the point, multitasking to the point.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna have a button at least he's doing it away from the mic now, yeah make me self-conscious.
Speaker 4:I try to multitask to the point of where it's kind of chaos, you know to not to the point of not being able to get the task done, but the fact of I've got like a bunch of stuff going on at once. So so I've usually got, you know, paperwork in my car with my lunch that I had to grab on the go on my way to the hospital while I'm trying to prepare a sermon, in the middle of all that, and I've kind of got a bunch of things going on. So I'm usually carrying litter, physically carrying multiple things for multiple reasons, you know, and I've just got to do a better job, especially at like I get in a meeting with somebody and instead of saying, ok, we're going to meet and we'll meet from this time to this time, I'll just kind of let it go Right, and then it pushes everything else I had back. So I'm having to rush around.
Speaker 2:I need to do a better job of hey, I need to be out of here at this time and keeping things on a schedule, and it's it's almost where you have to set a timer, but some people find that rude. So it's like you know what do you do, and it's you know there are certain people that want to have conversations for two hours instead of dealing with what you originally had to be there for. Yeah, and I fall into that a lot.
Speaker 4:I really do I you know, know, we'll sit down and talk. And then I've got like I've got something I've got to do from three to five, right, and I sit down at one and and I kind of let it go to 240, yeah, and then I look up and I'm like I've got to rush out and then now everything is. I've got a shrunken timetable to get everything else done which rushes everything else right and it pushes back everything.
Speaker 4:And then that's when that chaos starts happening, because I'll I'll try to schedule things like okay, I've got time to squeeze this in, squeeze this in.
Speaker 2:And then when one thing runs super long, then I really really you know, run out of time and that's the way I get if I oversleep yeah which doesn't happen a lot, but it it happens. Even when you, even when you get caught up, it still feels rushed all day. It's like you never get caught up. And that's kind of the way it is when you overdo a meeting. Now the whole day is rushed.
Speaker 1:I hate that feeling of having to be rushed, so I'm always y'all. Y'all make fun of our lateness.
Speaker 4:but I promise it's not me, I promise y'all, and it's funny every time because you come in and that's the first like you're, just like shaking your head because I'm, I'm, very I, I plan ahead.
Speaker 1:yeah, I plan, and sometimes I do that to a fault, but I very much plan ahead. I hate being late to things. I know that it takes 35 minutes for us to drive from our house to the church. I have a staff meeting at 745. We leave the house at 7 so I can be there 10 minutes early, just in case something happens and you know what. I've got 10 minutes to spare, but I like being there early so that way I don't have to feel rushed.
Speaker 2:yeah yeah, I 100% get that. As somebody's been labeled the time nazi, I understand being early to something.
Speaker 1:Yeah because I always I've told this with every worship team whatever there is freedom in preparation.
Speaker 4:And it just makes you feel a little bit more relaxed, knowing, okay, I'm on time. There's literal wiggle room. You can wiggle. Why don't you do that? No, stop that.
Speaker 1:Wiggle room but have, but you know there's. There's literally room for you to just breathe. Yeah, as opposed to, because you know, especially like with me for church, you know, like, yes, I work for the church, but it's also a church service. It's time of worship and all that I don't want.
Speaker 1:I'm at church Again. I'm there, I have no job to do, but again I'm also there to enjoy the service, to worship, and I don't want to feel so tense the whole time that basically the whole service is just thrown out the window for me, oh yeah, and that's a difference between somebody who serves at church and somebody who attends church. Yeah.
Speaker 2:You know somebody who just walks in and sits in a pew. They don't understand the preparation that's needed and why we come in early. Which, mike, you come in at 4 am. That's probably a little extreme.
Speaker 1:Hey, he actually just sits. Nice and early baby he just lays across a pew and takes a nap and that's exactly why I do that.
Speaker 4:It's so that I would way rather get stuff done, look up in it and and have three hours left and go, oh man, I got everything done. I, okay, cool, and I can kind of relax. Then look up and go I've got to hurry up, I've got to rush and get stuff done, you know. So I'd way rather get up extra early, like just ridiculously early, and get things done and have a lot of extra time, then rush around, right, you know, and and try to try to put things together last minute absolutely which, because there's always going to be something that goes wrong anyway.
Speaker 4:So you're going to need that wiggle room and you can do it wiggle room there you go.
Speaker 2:You can tell like you can tell when you're watching a sermon or a lesson or whatever. You can tell when the speaker is unprepared yeah, I mean you, it did. It really shows, when they've not put in the work, yeah, and I've come across some people, most musicians that stupid musicians.
Speaker 1:Easy now, easy now. You're about to get us blocked. He's got a music degree, yeah I forgot that's right, um, that believe there's, they're so good, so talented, and they are, but to the point they don't feel the need to prepare.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Right yeah, and I've seen many times where again good musician does know the music.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:It bites everyone in the butt.
Speaker 2:Well, me and Mike have talked about that before, how, um singers, you know where. If you don't play an instrument but you're just seeing, you take that for granted and you don't learn the songs and you don't know what your role is in that and it's just lazy and it's it's unacceptable and they, they use the.
Speaker 4:You know, we have screens and we've got monitors and we've got, you know, things that help the singers, that have all the lyrics there. It is right in front of them so they feel no need to prepare because they could just read it off of the screen until those screens don't right. Well, you've seen you know you've seen the, the viral clip of the lady. That's like singing, like I need the word and it's like, shouldn't you know the song?
Speaker 2:shouldn't you at?
Speaker 4:least know most of it right like I get it. Some of these songs like the way that they go. Yeah, the words are interchangeable, which each you know each verse or whatever, but it's like you don't know any of it. You don't know the start of the song. Like, really, if a guitar player, if a drummer, if a whoever gets up there and just doesn't know it, they'd be asked to get down, right. But singers can go up there because the lyrics are right in front of them and just come in and I have.
Speaker 1:I have this problem, uh, when I lead. So our confidence monitor it has has the the top half, it'll show the slide that's up the words, and ours has has chords on it too, which is nice. So the top half has the, this current slide that's on the on the screens and it's a little bigger, and then below it has the the next upcoming slide.
Speaker 1:My problem is I like to jump ahead, yeah, and then as soon as I'm jumping ahead and going and I'm moving to the bottom one, the bottom one moves up, and I ended up skipping one and I mess up or I read the wrong word or I'm like I read, my mind is reading one word and I'm reading a word down here and I like jumble them or something while playing.
Speaker 1:Yes While playing yeah, there's no way I'll be able to do that I do that so many because and I try not to uh make the the person running pro presenter thing it's their fault, like they must. I'll just be like oh sorry, no, I can't read. You're good, I can't read, that's my bad. That's my bad.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I forgot how to read it happens and and I did want to, I did want to as we, as we begin to transition into that's what's up I did want to say happy birthday to my oldest daughter yeah, alia, it's her birthday today. She doesn't listen but she does sometimes it turned into Cartman.
