The boys decided 10 minutes before the episode started that they were going to do a mailbag episode with some fans. Adam posted on his instagram story, asking if anybody wanted to be on the podcast. So we rang a few people and chopped it up. We had some interesting convos! Hope you dig it. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

This episode has pretty much nothing to do with the music industry whatsoever. Dylan watched a documentary called “Maternal Instinct” and felt compelled to share his thoughts. If you haven’t seen it, it’s on Netflix and truly a crazy story. Hang out, grab some popcorn and enjoy the convo. It was kinda fun to do something a little different for this one! Let us know if you dig it.

In this episode, Dylan Reese and Adam Yokum realize that the year is halfway over. They reflect on the first six months of 2026. The conversation leads to a discussion about the realities of building a music career in the digital age + the importance of building systems, while maintaining a mindset with adaptability, and mental resilience. Social media sucks sometimes, but it’s part of the JOB. Hopefully there are some gems to take away from this one.

The boys are back from touring. Adam played a show in Boston and stayed with Dylan’s parents. Dylan was not there and it was their first time meeting. Adam shares some stories about things he learned about Dylan while being in his hometown with his family. We apologize for the not-so-great audio - we ran into some connection issues and things should be back on par for next week’s episode.
