In this episode of You’ll Never Make It, we sit down with Joel Cassady, drummer for Walk Off the Earth — the band that broke the internet with their “5 people, 1 guitar” cover of Somebody That I Used to Know on YouTube.

Joel takes us back to the early YouTube days — from taping iPhones to hockey sticks to suddenly waking up on the front page of Reddit and realizing life was about to completely change. We talk about how the band turned a viral moment into a 15-year career, the crazy behind-the-scenes stories, and his newest project, MIRA— an AI-powered app that helps musicians learn and create in totally new ways that could change the music industry.
