Episode 1 of Rough Pumpkins is here.
Travis sits down with longtime friend and fellow musician Joe Defelice to break down what life really looks like when you choose music as a career instead of a “real job.”

They talk about:
• starting music for the love of it
• why being “too loud” actually hurts your performance
• the pressure creatives feel to justify their careers
• how to survive without a traditional 9–5
• chasing art while balancing real life
• the moments that make it all worth it

This episode sets the tone for the entire show—honest, real conversations with people who accidentally built a creative life.
