Colin's Conversations

Adi Rei is a man in love with music. He is most commonly known for his work as a musical engineer as well as an emerging hip hop artist. I had the chance to "invade" his Nvasion Studios recording studio and record his first ever full length interview. In this episode you will learn about the Cleveland hip hop scene, how and what god Adi Rei into the music business, and some great tips for aspiring musical engineers.

Kat is one of the few experts in front of and behind the camera. It was a pleasure to get to know her and a privilege that she drove an hour each way to be apart of the podcast! Good stories and great info! Enjoy!!

Ove Menduza is a tattoo artist working out of Akron, Ohio. Growing up with a mother who was an artist inspired Ove to start art early and he found his skills to be well suited for tattooing. He has people coming as far as China to get his work and shows no sign of slowing down. He was a great person to have a conversation with and I hope we can do it again sometime!

I had the opportunity to meet and interview Josh Dobay of Josh Dobay Productions. Josh appeared on my radar after my interview with Skuff Micksun. He worked on a video set with Skuff as well as they worked together on a spoken word video.

Josh specializes in photography, videography, and content production. What I love most about those specializations is that he knew how to do none of them when he maxed out all of his credit cards to make a transition from the rat race back to a life of creativity. For a guy who grew up wanting to be a musician, working management in the hospitality industry as he said was “stealing his soul”, something that it does to most who are in it long enough. He couldn’t take it any more and and decided it was time to invest in himself and enroll in the school of Youtube.

Armed with a bit of new gear and a shit load of passion, Josh literally lost it all in search for a life that would give him purpose and meaning. His fiancee left him after he left his secure job, he lost his home and couch surfed from Ohio to Indiana, to Pennsylvania, all the way down to Florida until deciding to come back to Cleveland to settle some unfinished business.

Since then, he has found his calling by never allowing himself to give up. He has developed skills and built a framework around himself to allow him to use his creativity on a daily basis.

I encourage you all to spend the hour and twenty minutes to listen to or watch the full interview, there are a ton of great pieces of inspiration, motivation, and life lessons to take away.

Even though Josh and I do similar things for a living, I also encourage you all to check out all of his stuff and book him for whatever creative project that you need him for.

I hope that my podcast interview with him is the first of many great projects that I can work on with him, you heard it here first that

I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Christopher Feran of Phoenix Coffee. He has travelled all over the world to drink, buy, and learn about coffee. After knowing that, its awesome that all I had to do was drive from Willoughby to Ohio City to pick his brain!
