Brian and Stephanie have shared many stages and green rooms as bandmates, and as substitute players. Though Stephanie scared Brian during their first encounter on stage, their comfort with each other has since changed, and it shows. During the conversation, Brian highlights what could have been traumatizing early performances as a child, how he was able to dust himself off, and walk right back onstage with even more confidence the next time.

He can also be seen performing regularly with Red Carpet Riot, as well as many other bands. If you take anything from this episode, it’s that you should remember to have fun, and make sure every moment counts.
