This week I talked with Dan Shinder drummer, entrepreneur, and founder of Drum Talk TV.

Dan has lived a life full of rhythm and responsibility from raising a blended family of 11 kids (plus 19 grandkids and even a great-grandson) to building one of the largest online music communities in the world.

We got into:
→ Growing up in LA and moving to a small Arizona town
→ Why community matters more than clout
→ His travels to over 100 countries and what they taught him about people
→ How Drum Talk TV became a global hub for drummers and music fans
→ And why authenticity and giving back are non-negotiables

Dan’s energy is contagious whether he’s talking family, music, or what it means to stay authentic in a noisy world.

Shane’s story is about surviving, healing, and learning to live authentically after leaving Orthodox Judaism. We got into what it means to carry trauma, the stigma of being “off the derech,” and why self-love has to come before anything else.

This week I talked with Cathelina Duvert teacher, writer, and author of The Box.

Cathelina’s story is layered: years in publishing, stepping into the classroom to teach English, and finding her way through depression by turning her experiences into fiction. Her debut novel grew from journaling her struggles into a protagonist who carried them too transforming pain into art.

We talked about:
→ Balancing teaching with writing
→ Living with depression and finding ways to heal
→ Haitian-American identity and cultural perspectives on mental health
→ Why creating time for yourself is survival, not luxury

Cathelina reminds us that resilience is built one page, one student, one step at a time.

This week I talked with David Mysliwiec founder of Upstate Sound Music Group in Nashville.

David and I went deep into how technology, AI, and community are reshaping music. From Limewire nostalgia and Brian Eno experiments, to AI tools like Suno, we looked at what’s being lost — and what indie artists stand to gain.

We also got into:
→ The culture clash between engineers and mechanics
→ Why community and collaboration still matter more than clout
→ How Nashville’s indie scene is rewriting the rules
→ And what it really means to be American in the middle of all this change

David runs Upstate Sound like a mentorship hub — teaching artists how to be captains of their own ship, not pawns for labels.

This episode isn’t just about music. It’s about independence.

This week I talked with Jenna Udenberg a disability advocate, educator and author based in Minnesota.

Jenna’s nonprofit, her book all about her journey. all rooted in humor, honesty, and a refusal to be boxed in. We talked about how disability shows up in the art world (and how it doesn’t), plus what it means to reclaim the word “cripple” on her own terms.

She shared her thoughts on:
→ Growing up in Two Harbors MN with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
→ Being the “odd one” and owning it
→ Creating space for disabled artists
→ Why laughter is a weapon and a balm

Jenna’s work is funny, political, and fiercely personal. This episode is about more than art — it’s about showing up as your full self, no apologies.

This week I sat down with Brennan Jasso a South Florida-born singer, songwriter, and producer now based in Los Angeles.

This was Brennan’s second time on the podcast, and this time we got deep. We talked about moving through creative burnout, the isolation that comes with change, and how music has remained the constant.

He shared what it’s like to:
→ Write music when you’re not okay
→ Relearn your purpose after the high fades
→ Make peace with your younger self
→ And stay grounded while building a career in LA

Brennan doesn’t just make songs he tells the truth with melody. If you’ve ever had to start over or find joy in the fog, this is the episode.

After being catfished by someone he loved, Andrew didn’t just retreat — he started a podcast to process what happened and talk to others about lies, manipulation, and emotional recovery.

We talked about:
→ What it’s like to be catfished in your 50s

This week I talked with a sci-fi author who knows how to craft stories that hit hard, get weird, and still keep you grounded.

We got into:

→ The real-life dystopia of social media
→ Writing “Failing Gravity”
→ Why sci-fi should challenge, not comfort
