Hey everybody welcome to Eggs. This week's guest is Jamal Collins AKA Jayworking. I met him briefly, or I should say he came into my awareness at the often discussed WMC fest in Cleveland where Jamal was a keynote speaker. Jamal is well-known graphic designer, speaker and perennial podcast guest, but he’s probably better known for the amazing work he does in his community. After years of decline and hardship in Cleveland Jamal set out to create a program that offers graphic design training to underprivileged children in the hardest hit parts of town. A Cleveland native, he has dedicated his life to rebuilding the city that he loves and giving opportunity those who might not otherwise have it. He is a truly inspirational figure and we are grateful to have him on the show, ladies and gents, let's give a warm welcome Designer, Educator, Mentor and Community Advocate Jamal Collins.

Hey everybody, this week on Eggs we take you on a little walk down memory lane that was literally 10 years in the making. We had the opportunity to sit down with our old friends Curtis Casey and Bill Delrieu, singer and bass player for the international rock music phenomenon, Phoenix, Arizona-based Vayden.

Who knew it would ever work out but the moons literally aligned and we found ourselves in a room in downtown SLC reminiscing about the Phoenix, AZ rock scene circa 2005 — which was on-point BTW — building a following, concert and show promotion, Mike and Ryan's history in Phoenix and beyond, trials and tribulations of the music business and a rise to international success. This episode is a real feel-good-fest and we're excited to share the reunion with you guys. Tune in and turn up! Rate, like, share and subscribe!

This week on Eggs we have a CEO clipshow! Summer is in full-swing at the Eggs show and travel—and a guest cancellation—got us thinking. We have been blessed to meet with some amazing business owners and CEO-types recently so why don't we mash em' up and give the listeners a crash course in business? And that exactly what we did. On this weeks show you'll hear from some of our all-time favs including Brett Pinegar (CEO - Xgroup), Ryan Carson (CEO - Treehouse), Scott Halford (CEO - Foursite Studios) and Dan Davis (CEO - Stiry). So grab a pad and paper, few episodes will do so much in terms of inspiring you to get your "egg" going, whatever it might be! Lets gooooo!

Welcome back to the second round of our EGGS exclusive two-part conversation with John E. Necro, singer, songwriter and founding member of the world famous music group OPM. After a stratospheric rise to fame there was a cataclysmic fall going from literally top of the world to break-ups and personnel shifts, finding their home on a smaller label and overcoming the harsh realities of the music business. We also talk about the future of the band, Jiu-Jitsu and starting a business—Tarantula Hill Brewing Co.—a new craft-beer brewery located in Thousand Oaks, California.

Because of the epic, long-form nature of this discussion we not only broke our conversation into two episodes but we've left it largely in its raw, unedited form for your enjoyment. Wether you are one of OPM's millions of global fans or this is the first time you've heard of them, either way you're going to love this. You aren't going to want to miss this final part of the two-part series from your friends at EGGS live from MNO Studios in Marina Del Rey, California.

On this very special two-part edition of EGGS we have John Edney. John, better known as John E. Necro is a singer, songwriter and founding member of the world famous music group OPM. Known worldwide from the success of their single "Heaven is a Halfpipe" OPM came to see stratospheric success right out of the gates playing to sold out shows both in the USA and abroad. John took some time out of his day for what became a nearly four-hour discussion on the past, present and future of the Los Angeles based group. Because of the epic, long-form nature of this discussion we not only broke our conversation into two episodes but we've left it largely in its raw, unedited form for your enjoyment. Wether you are one of OPM's millions of global fans or this is the first time you've heard of them, either way you're going to love this. Its a wild ride, so buckle up and get ready for part one in a two-part series from your friends at EGGS live from MNO Studios in Marina Del Rey, California.
