What do you do when you achieve your rock-star dreams, and then discover they're killing you? You may know Ross Flournoy as the frontman of Apex Manor, whose song introduces every episode of our sister podcast. His story is one of frustration and perseverance, from his time in the late, lamented Broken West, to his changeover to a more hard-driving style in Apex Manor, to battles with addiction, and finding a way to survive in today's music industry.
