In this special part 1 interview, Dave Kropf and I interview each other, we talk about our life experiences, our roots, and how they have shaped us to what we are today. We talk about moving on from things that are no longer serving us and how to actually know when something is not serving us, even if it's tied to our identity.

In this episode I open up about Why Making mistakes is crucial, why I get taken advantage of on purpose in the industry, why experience and diversification are everything in this industry, why I think you want to try all sorts of sync income, why fluidity is a must in this industry, and why this doesn't matter if you're not appreciating yourself and your progress

In a world that glorifies doing more than anything, I find it important to stop and talk about balancing the doing and being. I also talk about about being able to feel successful even when I am not completely where I want to be. In this podcast I go on a walk with you and talk to you about my relationship with this balance as of late, about my recent burnout and many more things

On this episode I choose to take you into my current 10 deepest vulnerabilities and flaws.

These flaws don’t serve me but they are a part of my journey.

I dive into each one of them and I talk about an exercise I do to help me cope with these flaws.

The reason I’ve made this podcast is the hope that someone out there has similar flaws and doesn’t know what to do with them. 

I am not a doctor/ psychologist/ guru/ master but I choose to talk about this because this has helped me and will continue to.

You can take this technique and adapt it to your rhythm and pace of life

On this episode I talk to Kyle Hunter (AKA K. Sparks). Aside from having sync placements everywhere possible, he is an industry vet and has shared stages and has done work with some of the greats in the music industry (The temptations, Kid Audi, Rapsody, Peter Rosenberg & more).

His experience is second to none and we get into his mentality, his approach to mentorship, Importance of Network, Strategy, Misinformation. We also touch on fake gurus and why a 9-5 is necessary for a lot of people going into the sync space

I have been dealing with burn out a lot in this past year. A lot of it is because the voice in my head saying some ridiculous stuff that sound like truths to me.

things like "man you suck", "man you're not doing enough, Step it up!", "Look how successful **** is"

In this podcast I talk about what I do about this voice, what I do to keep myself accountable in life and some recent examples of things I do to get out of my head and how I put this voice to sleep.

Join us for an inspiring episode as we sit down with the amazing Nathan Foreman, a music producer whose music has been featured in NBA, Rhythm & flow, Fortnite and many more. Nathan shares the invaluable impact of interning in a publishing company, providing a backstage pass to the inner workings of a label.

We explore the philosophy of being infinitely curious and how this insatiable curiosity has propelled Nathan to remarkable heights. The conversation unfolds into a candid exploration of dealing with burnouts, the transformative power of mentorship, and the profound influence of asking questions as a gateway to bigger and better opportunities.

Comparing ourself to others, thinking “damn he’s so successful!” Or “damn she has all the placements in the world”, or perhaps my favorite “oh my godddd he makes 5 figures from royalties” This podcast was recorded because I hear too much talk about success and there are too many people trying to define what success is for you so they can sell you stuff. Success isn’t waiting for the end of the year and realizing you’ve done a bunch of stuff or haven’t. Success is RIGHT HERE! 

Hopefully this podcast episode will help some people
