If you've never moved a record, and you  don't know who broke in the south first, and you aren't the reason we have a Christmas song from OutKast, then you're not the Godfather of ATL music.

For us talking with the tastemakers and real music historians of our time is a perk, but it's also the best way to learn how it all began!

The South Got Something to Say!

Ian Burke is a HUGE reason that it does, join us in this walk down memory lane and why Diddy/Love needs to put some respect on Jermaine's name! (see what we did there) 

Welcome to season TWO!!! 
This episode goes out to those who say they never know who to talk to about their career. Keith Perissi is the Director of the Joel A Katz Music Business and Entertainment. 

We leave you with that and the rest you just have to listen in for...

You're Welcome.
And THANK YOU for an amazing first season!

This week's podcast was a special one, we had not one, but two special guests.
Radio and Hip Hop legend Ed Lover was our guest host and Atlanta, mayoral candidate Kasim Reed was our pod guest.

Candidate Series:
The Atlanta Mayoral race is in full swing and with just two weeks left to vote, GEA thought it important to talk to the candidates and get their take on the way things are going. 
No one candidate has been more polarizing than the former mayor and current candidate for Mayor Kasim Reed. 

We look forward to continuing our Candidates Series as the race gets closer. 
Sit back and enjoy!

GEA is nonpartisan and does not endorse any one candidate. 
Invitations to other candidates have been sent and we are awaiting response. 

Water is a many splendid and complicated thing...

We sat with Xeni water #creator/scientist/ #chemist #owner and #newyorker Alex Getahoun. He explains why water is needed and not just because you’re thirsty...

Water is also commodity, not everyone has it, can get to it or have the resources to make it drinkable....just ask the NASDAQ

We think of this as third world problems but here we have our own issues....

"The studio" is synonymous with so many things, mostly drugs and infamous moments, but Stone Stafford has a "Why". He and his wife started Icon studios over 10 years ago to give artists a place to make great music. The stories and journey themselves are amazing and another reason why Atlanta continues to be the music hub of the South. 

Take a listen and enjoy some fanning out as host Ali Roc and Stone discuss Icon's impact on the music world. 

That which is like, unto itself is drawn...
Welp... 
Mr. Daniel Dickey is unlike many people in that he actually gets that statement. 
From finessing his way into his first major event to running his own company (The Resource Guild) to getting the "boot man" a job,  manifesting has been apart of the journey that has led this tastemaker to the many places and clients he's worked with here is Georgia and around the world. 
Enjoy this great convo on how to move yourself and life forward when North Carolina is not enough. 

Most people think life is this one thing that only changes with time, but really life changes with circumstance. Kim Ford knows that life can throw you some curveballs, and in this week's show,  she talks about leaving home the day after graduation, to being a featured guest on CNN, to author.  Listen in and learn why It's Never Too Late!!! 

"The South Got Something to Say"

Does Atlanta Influence Everything?

If 'I said what I said" was a person; it would be Bem Joiner. Activist, community organizer, and Co-founder of "Atlanta Influences Everything". The AIE team has created a brand that started from a statement fueled by a passion to have the contributions of black people in the South recognized for more than just Coca-Cola.
