Live Your Values

What does it actually look like to pursue a passion for music? Listen to Justin's story about scrapping together gigs, finding a community, landing steady stand-ins, and all of the challenges and successes along the way. We also explore SoFar Sounds, an intimate music experience in over 400 cities and growing, and learn about Justin's newest project to bring musicians together in the Charlotte area. Full of applicable lessons to any craft, this conversation will inspire beginners to take the first step and the experienced to master their art form.

Guest Bio: In high school, Justin sang in the choir and the a-cappela group. At Bucknell, he joined and led an A Cappela group and sang in a shitty cover band, while he majored in business and went on to work a sales job after school. A year later, he moved to Chicago to focus on music full time - he started writing music, started a rock band, played weddings, corporate gigs and proposals. Justin was paying the bills through tutoring, substitute teaching, playing weddings and other hired gigs. Then, he was lucky enough to come across a great opportunity in Charlotte.

What does freedom look like for you? Does it relate to allowing yourself to genuinely be you? What happens when you shed the expectations of others in favor of tuning into your own goals, dreams, and expectations? In this tell-all interview, our guest Danielle Gelber gets deep and vulnerable, and shares her remarkable story of stepping outside of her comfort zone to build a better life - one that she creates for herself.

Guest Bio: Born and raised in Jersey, with the honesty and sass to prove it, Danielle is currently living in San Diego trying to mellow the f*#$ out and discover her life’s purpose. After uprooting her life on the east coast then subsequently quitting her long-time (and not to be cocky but very successful) career, Danielle is now just a girl trying to figure out her life one sunny day at a time.

Be honest, be appreciative, provide value. What if these 3 simple rules guided your life? Can it be that straightforward? In this episode, our guest and long-time friend, Scott Kaplan shares how these powerful values guide him through life's relationships. With no shortage of stories, quotes, and real aha moments, this conversation left me feeling grounded and inspired to keep aligning my actions to what matters most in my life - those human connections. Dig in for some real talk and a whole lot of fun.

Guest Bio: Scott Kaplan graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in Management Information Systems. Seeing the intersection of two disciplines (business and technology) taught Scott to always look for commonalities between seemingly unrelated topics. He spent almost a decade freelancing as an Operations Consultant for small businesses and as a Personal Trainer for CEOs and other executives. In December 2018, he gave up the freelance lifestyle to join a 30 person start up that has grown 10x since.
