S1E4 - Information Is The Best And Most Important Currency With Zoltan Bathory


Listen Later

Zoltan Bathory never felt that he deserved his success when he came to America. When he decided to form Five Finger Death Punch, there was no "master plan" to see the band succeed to the levels they see today. In fact, he and Ivan Moody [vocalist] created music they were excited to make for themselves and didn't involve the professional music reps to see whether the music was good enough or not. To this musical duo, they created songs, heard the songs and knew they were onto something really special. Ultimately, this resulted in Zoltan finding his happiness as he continued to live in the United States. He was happy with what he had--even though it wasn't much at that point. But Zoltan never settled to just be in a normal rock and roll band. He found strength within himself to take advantage of the resources that are all around us and apply them to his personal and musical life. You will also hear the rest of the interview with Nothing More drummer, Ben Anderson as we continue our discussion about the music industry and how personality strengthens a brand to the masses--regardless of what the "haters" will think Also, I today we answer a listener question with regards to how much I spend on my groceries each week in relation to my healthy eating habits.
