Nick Rapley joins us on the show this month to discuss all things music and audio production. We dive into his history - from picking up the drums at 9 years old, to attending Ball State University, to working with Taylor Swift's fiddle player in New York City, and even all the way around to what Artificial Intelligence is doing to the music industry as we know it.
Nick is the perfect example of what can happen when you just go out and do the damn thing.
His story is fascinating, his energy is captivating, and I hope you enjoy this special episode of Conversations.

This episode is EPIC! Not only did we travel allllll the way to the west coast to records it, but today's guest Austin (also known as Lostinvegas) has so much to offer.
We had a great conversation both on and off air. We had a good 25-30 minutes together beforehand searching for a quiet spot to record. He is a real down to earth dude, with a lot of passion, a lot of talent, and a good mindset.

Sometimes it's hard to see what you're fighting so hard for. He shares a relatable perspective about being stuck between what you thought you wanted, and what is actually meant for you.

As always, THANK YOU for tuning in. We appreciate your love and support more than you know. Please share the show, and leave a review if this had a positive impact on you today!

Also, huge shout out to Mod Sun & Machine Gun Kelly for what you've done, are doing, and will do. You were an inspiration and influence for Austin ,and definitely are to me as well.

Woah, its Monday, and we're releasing an episode?! I know. Crazy. But truth be told I had to advance through some adversity to get this episode up LOL. Technology and I are still figuring out our relationship. But 10th time is a charm - or whatever they say - and here we are!

I could have held off for another week, but this episode is too good not to post...

Wes is an incredibly talented, well versed musician song writer and producer from Illinois. He has some impressive accolades, like touring for CHICAGO (Yeah, like THE Chicago), traveling the world, and standing up against toxic religion.
After seeing him perform on the drums like a true Chicago Jazz Cat, I knew I had to have him on here. Thankfully, the feelings were reciprocal and here we are!

If you are struggling with your faith, wishing you could see things from a new perspective, or just love music in any way shape or form, this is the episode for you.

On today's episode, we get up close and personal with my irrational fear of recording in front of my fiancé. It's this weird, unnecessary perfectionism thing... It's held me back from so much for so long, and I'm tired of it! 
This podcast was created to help you find inspiration and shift your mindset to live a positive and fulfilling life.  It's easy to speak about it... It's a lot harder to BE about it. 
I think it's really important to be honest and transparent about everything - in hopes of helping you (AND MYSELF) face those fears and uncertainties. We see a lot of people on the other side, but not much from those of us in the thick of it. So join me for a really cringe-worthy episode! And thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to those who are following this journey. I'm excited to be on this road with you. We meet you where you're at. Let's grow together! Have a great day, and remember to smile (:

I'm back, baby!
This podcast is renewed, and is about to get EPIC. Consider this season 2 episode 1! Some big announcements in this episode so please tune in!

Here's a quick little chat I had with myself about authenticity, and the meaning of Advancement Through Adversity. "I Can't" culture is toxic, and keeps you small. You deserve to think bigger, and be the best version of yourself every day - even when real life is effed up. There is beauty in imperfection. Embrace that shizz!

Hey! Did you know that it's possible to not burn bridges with people you used to do business with? Jeff used to be my broker.... But when he left eXp (explained in the episode) and I stayed, We remained friends! So here is a ridiculous episode full of incredible nuggets, lots of swear words, and real estate jargon. 
Enjoy!
