Dan and Broc interview Jeremy Boyum from Shadow of Whales, a band based in Texas. Jeremy makes some great points about business not being constant growth, but a series of ups and downs. Be careful not to let laziness strike and every time you fall, you will get back up a stronger person if you keep at it. He reminds listeners to speak positivity into their lives and as anyone that is part of the EDGY Empire knows to “Do the hard things.”
