My sister and I talk for a bit about toxic friendships, what FOMO means (because I really didn't know), and being overly empathetic. In my interview with Matt, we chat it up about teaching and the crossover with being creative and educating little ones, the subtle separation of faith and creative content with his band, Talkie, and much, much more. Thanks for another great week!

Cameron has been (and still very much is) heavily involved with the Northern California hardcore scene for quite some time. He was kind enough to invite me over to his spot so we could do the interview in his backyard (a first for HWFT)! We talk about being down with the clown, health scares, his relentless work towards his music, his involvement with Lionheart, and much more. Five points to whoever counts how many times "ykwtfgo" is said in this interview. Thanks for tuning in.

Bryant is an artist, versatile in many abstract formats. We met through working for the same company but have become good friends outside of that through a common interest in expressionism and vulnerability. We talk about art, the struggles that come along with an artist's lifestyle, finding inspiration from unlikely places, and more. Give him a follow on IG @bryant.sina to check out his work.

I call up my buddy, Devan Bentley, to talk to him about his new life he's beginning in Colorado, his history with Such Gold and the pop-punk world, bettering his livelihood, his passion for visual arts, and much more. Thanks for listening!

No Right is a hardcore band from the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. I hang out with Toshio and Sierra from the band and have fun talking about Toshio helping me with my gear troubles, the formation of their band, having a good time with playing their songs and making friends in hardcore, and lots of other things. Enjoy!

I call up a great friend of mine - Ricky Clarke. Ricky is a professional youth soccer coach with fifteen-plus years of experience in working with and developing young soccer players into not only strong physical players but strong, good-habit-forming human beings, as well. We talk about his history as a player and a coach, as well as his successful, innovative coaching methods that have propelled him throughout his coaching career. Thanks for listening!

On this week's episode of HWFT, I go over to my buddy Tre's place in Castro Valley, CA to talk about his unique songwriting style, treating music as a medium for story telling, and making the change from playing in a melodic hardcore band (ex-Worthwhile) to taking the reigns and beginning his current, ever-growing rock-reggae band, SeaView.

You either know Bryan as Olivver The Kid, the singer/guitarist of the band, La Bouquet, or, as the guy that used to play drums in The Neighborhood. How ever you know him, you know that he's a passionate guy that isn't afraid to be transparent. I hope you enjoy listening to our time together. Hot Wheel Fish Tank, baby.

Hey, everybody. Welcome to my podcast. I rambled and riffed for a few minutes this morning on a tiny bit about myself, why I'm interested in the things that I am, and, most importantly, why I am doing this show. Thank you for taking the time to check this out. Here's to more episodes!
