Learning From Friends

My guest today is Jeremiah Adkins, AKA TheMixGuru, with over 20 plus years as a sound engineer based here in Georgia. He is a Grammy winner and has worked with artists of all genres such as Taylor Swift, Lil Wayne, AAA, Lecrae, and many other emerging and established artists across the United States. He is not only a musical genius but a loving husband, father, and devote Christian. He drops so much knowledge of not just music but life lessons so I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it.

During the episode, I speak with Rick Carvlin on the major issue facing the non-profit industry right now that needs more awareness, that being the lack of funding which is, unfortunately, causing many organizations to limit their outreach and some even closing their doors. Rick Carvlin is directly involved in all operations, for a wide variety of arts organizations, from Ballet and Modern Dance, world-class Jazz presentations, Opera, Regional Theater, and Symphony Orchestra to major corporate and commercial events. He wears many hats as a collaborator and facilitator, utilizing his skills, knowledge, and network to help artists achieve their vision and enrich their communities.

After speaking with a former guest Robby about the University of Georgia football, I decided I needed another perspective on the other side of the famous Georgia Florida Rivalry. My good friend Ryan is a lifelong fan, so I pick his brain about the topic to help better understand what it means to be a Florida Gator fan and briefly discuss Ryan's opinion on NCAA player likeness.

In this episode, I am discussing music’s evolution from the 1950s growing up on the west coast upwards to today's world living on the east coast from a perspective of a professional drummer who lived it. We discuss how he became a drummer, growing up, styles of music he enjoyed, techniques, people he has played with, advice to new and older musicians, what the industry was like, and how the industry game changed when DJs came into the scene and much more. There was so much to cover in this episode so I turned it into a 2 part episode so please tune in if you enjoyed part one.

So  many times we hear people say they are a fan of something but most of  the time as people we never peek behind the curtains to get the full  story like how it all began, what are some of the fondest memories,  traditions, and much more. During this joyful conversation, I did just that learning about one man's passion for University of Georgia Football.

In this episode, I am doing a continuation on the topic of friendship; in the previous episode, I spoke with my longest known friend Eden. In this episode, I am talking with my closest friend Garrison Copeland. All friendships are essential, with each different playing role in our lives. The significant difference with this friendship is the face-to-face time invested. Garrison and I went from elementary school through college, lived, traveled around the United States, fought with each other, and continue to grow our friendship each day even though now we live in different states. We share fun stories, moments of change, good and bad, throughout the episode, and how we adapted and grew because of our differences. There is a lot to take away from this episode about how friendships grow through thick and thin.

Today I am speaking with my longest known friend. We literally go back to the crib. We discuss how friendships can evolve over the years when you don’t go to the same schools and only see each other a handful of times a year or sometimes years, but there is still an unspoken bond. Also, I speak with her about her fascinating career of being a pediatric dental hygienist.

Today, I am speaking with George Franco, The 'Good News' Auctioneer, whom I have been blessed with working alongside in fundraising for nonprofit organizations for 5+ years. We are not just making an impact here in Georgia but all over the world. During our time today, we spoke bout the 3+ decades he spent in the world of broadcast television news, his transition into the auction world, and how he impacts communities through these skillsets as a benefit auctioneer specialist. 

If you would like to get ahold of George to speak about an auction consult for your nonprofit organization's upcoming fundraiser event, here are some ways to reach him.
