While it's a simple enough topic to understand, putting it into practice can feel damn near impossible. Because staying healthy isn't about one magic-bullet trick allowing you to live forever. Instead, it's a multitude of small life decisions that compound throughout a lifetime.

This is especially true for those working in the music industry, as the high stress, rigorous touring schedules, daily uncertainty, and more all take their taxes out on the body in their own ways. Slade Templeton has experienced the full spectrum of impacts one's health can have on their career. Having done everything from touring with a band, gigging as an international DJ, running a recording studio, and running the operations at LBack Octopus Sounds, he knows full well how staying healthy can change your life and define your career.

In the eighth episode of the podcast, Slade dives deep into some of the following topics.

• How his approach to staying healthy changed over the decades, he's been working in music (...and ways to adapt so you can have a lifelong career in the industry)

• What the stakes are for living an unhealthy lifestyle, but for you and him personally (...he was recently diagnosed with a serious health condition but manages to stay ahead of it by staying healthy).

• Why developing unhealthy habits early in life is dangerously easy (...and why they are exponentially harder to kick down the line).

• When he started taking his health seriously (...so you don't need to hit the same lows he did before you take your health seriously).

• ...and much more.

For those working on the front lines of the music industry, it can be all too easy to only look at the end goal of where you want to be in a decade and completely ignore the steps that it takes to get there. But growth as an artist, record label, band member, or anything else takes small and committed moves each and every day that compound over time to create something truly magical.

Nobody knows that better than Gravitas Recordings' head honcho, Jesse Brede. This is why there is no better guest than him to break it all down in its entirety for the seventh episode of the Magnetic Meaning podcast.

Jacob Henry of Monstercat Silk is an industry professional who, after running the A&R department at Silk since its earliest days alongside Silk founder Max Flyant, recognizes that constantly striving to be as transparent as possible is the quality in himself and in his work that has made the most significant impact on his career.

This is why he is the ideal candidate to dive deep into transparency, its benefits, the hard conversations it provokes, and the lasting relationships it nurtures on the sixth episode of the Magnetic Meaning podcast.
