Rudy Sarzo, one of the world’s top rock metal bassists, joins NOL to share how he became a prolific, professional recording and performing artist with a career spanning over 35 years. Rudy has played with Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot, Whitesnake, DIO, Blue Oyster Cult and many other bands.  He's as busy as ever, with shows coming up in December with The Guess Who!

I was honored to meet and sing with Rudy in 2008 here in Los Angeles.  I must say, Rudy is an incredibly solid, upstanding, family-oriented man, and he is certainly one of the most ridiculously-talented yet humble musicians I’ve ever been blessed to meet.

I encourage you to visit his website at www.rudysarzo.com and to connect with him on Facebook and Twitter.

Also, don’t forget to pick up his book!  Rudy authored "Off the Rails”, which chronicles his time with Randy Rhoads during their Quiet Riot and Ozzy years.  We barely scratch the surface of Rudy’s career adventures in these episodes, but here are a few things you can expect to hear about in this show:

- Why Rudy loves doing his own housework

- Rudy’s immigration from Cuba to the U.S.

- What his childhood was like in Miami and NJ

- What got him interested in the bass and how he learned how to play

- His time on the club circuit in Miami

- His moves from NY to Chicago to LA, and his early band experiences

- How he became part of Quiet Riot

- His spiritual journey and personal impact of making peace with God

- What it was like to become part of the Ozzy/Sharon family

In Part 2, we continue the conversation from there…so be sure to come back for more on Rudy's life and fantastic career!*

The wonderful Lisa Schoenthal and I recorded this episode of NOL way back in May, and it felt right to release it this Thanksgiving weekend.  Listen as Lisa and I talk about the awesome, huge subject of *love*, with a focus on determining whether it's really love or just a love lesson along the way.

Wess Haubrich, a self-trained visual artist and photographer from Quincy, IL, joins NOL to share how expressing emotions through art can effectively manage anxiety, depression and chronic migraines...all without medications.  He shares his journey through mood swings, depression, chronic pain and an addiction to Dilaudid, how he kicked it, and how anyone - even those who think they aren't artistic - can take real control over their own addictions, depression and/or anxiety through art.

Wess and I discuss:

* his influences of film noir, crime scene photography, gothic literature, southern gothic

* what art brut is, and the advantages of self-training vs. formal art education

* understanding the rights you have to your art and successfully promoting your art

* his experience with the 12-step program for his former addiction

* his natural foray into film making

I really enjoyed this conversation with Wess, and I hope it gets you thinking about the healing power of art too.

This week we turn to music, one of my favorite topics, with the incredible Damien Horne. His manager reached out to me shortly after the NOL launch, and when I heard his story, I was super excited to get him on the show. Damien's story is impactful, not only for hopeful musicians, but for anyone who needs a boost of motivation and inspiration! 

Damien has a way of making everyone feel special, and it's because he believes they are. Damien has a real knack for tapping into people’s gifts and talents and inspiring them to reach their fullest potential. In fact, if you were to ask Damien what his purpose in life is, that’s probably what he’d say: to make others believe that they can fulfill their own purpose in this world. Whether it’s through his songs, his public speaking platform or simply via a one-on-one conversation, you’ll walk away from him feeling like anything is possible.

Damien’s credentials are loaded. Although he was homeless in two different cities (LA and Nashville), he has shared the stage with the likes of everyone from Faith Hill and Big & Rich to Robert Randolph and John Legend. He’s landed publishing deals with Big Love and Warner Chapel. He was also a part of a country music trio The Farm that was signed to Warner Brothers. During their stint, they had two charting singles. “Home Sweet Home” (Billboard Top 20) and “Be Grateful” (Billboard Top 40).

When Damien’s not on the road as an artist, he’s working alongside The Salvation Army and Boys & Girls Club to share his story of being one of 12 children, the first to graduate from high school and avoiding being a victim of the streets. One of his latest projects is EncourageInspireMotivate.com. It’s a weekly blog that showcases people who are doing their part to make the world a better place. It’s an online platform that complements what he’s currently focused on: his single and personal motto “Shine” and his upcoming one man show with the same name. Stay tuned.
