Once upon a time, there was a young man whose growing beard reflected his personality. Early on, his beard would frequently string him along, snip at his dreams, and tangle him up; obviously frustrating the man. As he grew into it his beard, the beard became charismatic and wiser, developing a stronger and more formidable personality. It was hard not to notice the beard’s fervor as it grew longer, but the man quelled the unruly beard knowing work had to be done. As the beard went from being bumfluff to full and from brown to salt and pepper, so did the beard's contemplations. Realizing the beard was not getting any younger, or shorter, the man surrendered to the beard's demands, unleashing the Bearded Talker. The Bearded Talker podcast is audio first show featuring Brian D. Avery, an edumacated professor, crackerjack expert witness, and half-ass serialpreneur who has a penchant for the finer things in life --- all of which provided valuable and sometimes costly lessons. Despite his serious demeanor (insert smiley face), the man behind the beard often uses his witty, humorous side to teach valuable lessons on life and life safety, professional development, and teaching. Each episode is packed with witty sage beardly advice and colorful anecdotes based on Brian’s experiences (successes and failures) in the classroom, the courtroom, and the workplace, with a dash of bourbon, fashion, cigars, and automobiles thrown in for good measure. Join the Bearded Talker faithful and get ready to be entertained by the most charismatic beard in podcasting and share in his opinions from the podium, on the stand, and behind the desk.
