This week Nina and Dan have a lively conversation with Dawson White about what brought each of them to Houston and how they got hooked on Houston life. They discuss everything from moving to Houston in the heat of summer for school, jobs, and family, to the excellent local music scene, music education, band camp, aggressive networking, cokes, and buggies (i.e. shopping carts). Amidst lighthearted banter, they also discuss self reflection, taking breaks, being productive, going back to school, innovation, and creativity during pandemic life.
