Freelance Pawlooza and Madison Hughes Wows 'The Voice'

Here's the latest dispatch.

Good afternoon,

For you newbies out there, welcome to Outsider on the Inside. I hope this dispatch from in and around the nation’s capital on underreported topics finds you well.

If you’re just discovering my musings, here’s a backgrounder and make sure we’re connected on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.

Let’s keep Floridians in our thoughts and prayers. We all have friends who’ve already been impacted by Hurricane Ian. They will need our help in the coming days and weeks. To support those in need, give to the Florida Disaster Fund.

Now here’s what I have for you today.

Join Me at Freelance Pawlooza in Northern Virginia

Love dogs, beers, and independent contracting? I hope you join me at Americans for Prosperity - Virginia's upcoming "Freelance Pawlooza" event this October 8th at Barnhouse Brewery in Leesburg, VA!

When Your Friend Aces Her Blind Audition on NBC’s ‘The Voice’

My dear friend and frequent video collaborator, Madison Hughes, made her TV debut on NBC’s The Voice this past Monday.

When not doing freelance video worker, Madison is a singer/songwriter. And a very talented one at that.

Madison selected “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” for her blind audition and wowed all four Voice coaches. She got three chair turns from Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, and Camila Cabello.

See Madison blow the judges away below:

Her performance was praised by Taste of Country, The Boot, TV Line, and other reality TV show publications. Madison also spoke exclusively to First Coast News in her hometown of Ponte Vedre Beach, Florida, to recount the experience.

After some deliberating, Madison ultimately chose Blake as her coach. Smart pick, if you ask me. Gwen would have been great too.

Watch The Voice on NBC this fall to see how far Madison goes on the show. Follow Madison on Instagram and YouTube to see how she does on the program. And hire her for your next video project.
