Nice Minds

This episode is with my good friend Ben "Jammin" Kath. Ben is a super talented producer and sometimes rapper. A master of the keys. He's an old friend that was a part of Nice Guy Entertainment when it ran as a record label and someone who I have partnered with on numerous occasions including the Yeah Dude Samples sample pack brand.  

This episode is with my very good friend Claude Culotta. We shot this episode in Cluade's back yard in early October.  

Just as the description says. Haha. I didn't have a full episode ready to go this week so I thought I'd give you a short and sweet episode to hold you over until I finish next Friday's episode!  

Check out the other stuff I have going on. Including beats for artists, sample packs for producers, and more: http://www.NiceGuyEnt.com​​​​

This episode is with my good friend Doug "Layte" Linburg. It was recorded over Zoom in late September right before Doug moved to Hawaii.  Doug is someone I met when we were both students at IPR (Institute of Production & Recording) and we clicked because we were similar in a lot of ways. We both started as rappers who started our label/production companies while we were students. Together put together many shows with our artists and even shared an artist that was part of both of our companies. Doug currently does photography with his company Initiative Media Group and also started "Wingsburg Station" on YouTube where he posts chicken wing related content.  

I'm joined once again by my friend Kevin Loesch AKA Kev Loe. Kevin is a podcaster, musician, music biz wiz, and operations manager for CLM (Cato Live Music) Presents.

This episode is with my very good friend Bryan "Mengy" Mengelkoch. We recorded this at Mengy's house by the lake on the first day of fall, September 22nd.   

My amazing and beautiful mother passed away on June 2nd. I thought it would be a great tribute to do a mini solo episode in dedication to her. 

Huge thank you to family, friends, all the listeners/viewers of this podcast, and everyone who's reached out to wish me and my family well and for all of the support.

This episode is with my friend Dan Bianco. Dan is someone I've known since 2005/2006. I met him when he was 11 years old (I was 20 at the time) because he would frequent the teen center where I worked inside the Maple Grove Community Center. Over the years that I worked there, I became somewhat of a mentor figure to Dan. Dan told me that I helped shape his taste in music among many other awesome things involved in his growth as a person. Dan and I kept in touch over the years well after I stopped working at the community center and we remained friends who touched base every now and then.  

In early 2021, Dan reached out to me and presented the idea that he had to start a Bachelor based podcast where he would interview different contestants on the show as well as the related spin-off shows. I told him his ideas were solid and he hired me to edit his podcast and quickly became one of my favorite clients to work with. This idea grew into The Roses That Be Podcast. It's been amazing to see Dan's growth over the last couple months as he begins his podcasting journey!  

This episode is with my good friend Mawuli AKA Bass Violator/Free Drugs. Mawuli and I met about 6 or 7 years ago in the local twin cities music scene through mutual friends. He quickly became a good friend and joined Nice Guy Entertainment when it operated as a label. We did a bunch of shows together and heavily collaborated throughout the years.   

This episode is with my friend Rhaelee Gronholz. Rhaelee is one of the most impressive people I’ve ever met. We met as students at IPR (Institute of Production & Recording) and have collaborated in a couple different ways.
