Hello. I’m Tom Hailey.

The Good Old Days of Cassette Tapes

When I was twenty-two, the owner of the engineering company I worked for loaned me a Zig Ziglar six cassette tape set named Lead the Field.  I became a fan of personal development material, including tapes and books.

Some of my favorites were  Zig Ziglar, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Jim Rohn, Dennis Waitley, Steven Covey, Dr. Joe Vitale, Brian Tracy,  Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill and Earl Nightingale.

Thinking back on all of those hours spent listening to cassette tapes, I now realize I was putting the pieces in place that would provide a solid durable wall of inspiration, knowledge, and motivation. But it also inspired another interest.

As I drove many miles listening, I dreamed about interviewing these experts on my own radio show. But, I didn’t have a radio show!

I would also have interesting conversations with fascinating people and think how valuable and fun it would be if that conversation could be recorded and shared with others.

I really wanted to have my own radio show!

Today

Now I do!

Today we have podcasts, and I host my own show, The Break Out Session Podcast.

My goal is to engage in constructive conversations that encourage, enlighten, enthuse, and entertain with people who are striving, overcoming, achieving, and inspiring. 

UPDATE: January 2022

I took a break from The Break Out Session and now I’m back working on developing it further in 2022. Stay Tuned!

That’s a little bit about me.  I hope you will listen and subscribe to the podcast. There’s some good stuff there!
