The Ryan Sullivan Show

People are the answer. 

Recently I’ve leaned into investing my time with experts instead of learning everything on my own, on and off the podcast. I don’t think it’s healthy to be bound by your titles, and our guest today is certainly not.

On top of being a yoga instructor and book publisher, Bridget Scisco is fascinated with living life on her own terms. After battling Lymes disease at 13, her perspective about the medical industry shifted. She wondered, is there something I’m not getting here? The answer was yes, but this wasn’t a one-off realization.

Over the next decade, Bridget would begin to carve her own path; a common thread with many of our guests, and even more evident today with Bridget’s pursuit of yoga, and later a publishing company.. Today, we go into the details of publishing, auditing your circle, mental diet, and much more. Use the timestamps below to navigate this wide-ranging episode.

BopSolo is a new solo podcast series diving into listener-submitted questions and breaking down topics I have direct experience in. It’s also the format BopCast started with and one I’d be happy to officially bring back. Today I uncover how to start a side hustle and by that, I mean the 4 step process anybody can follow to launch their own. 

Keep in mind that what I speak on today is from personal experience. I’m not guaranteeing results, trying to upsell you to a course, or convincing you to do this, rather I’m zooming out from the last few years, and giving you the after-the-fact playbook. Follow these steps with caution; the path is often unpaved and unknown. 

The only thing I ask of you as a listener is to be included in BopCasts growth by sharing it with a friend and leaving feedback on the video, in a message or DM. That’s the only way I know if these are actually valuable.

They say if you don’t do the business, the business will do you. But how do you actually ‘do’ the business side? We uncover more than a few tactics today. 

It’s always exciting to step from one passion to another episode by episode. Today I got to sit down with an expert and scratch my business itch. Gabby Braddock is the owner of No Plan B Consulting, the Next Generation Network, and cofounder of The Vault Music Studio, in Boonton, NJ. She emits an aura of positivity and realism that is undeniable, and I was taken away by her articulation and self-awareness. I was so curious about this, that I had to ask her where it came from. Her father being an immigrant, encouraged hard work, but also instilled an unstoppable mindset from the age of 6. We dive into the pros and cons of this, and much more today on the show.

We have a lot of rappers on the show, but after talking with 50+, I’ve found that most artists are even more dynamic than their art. Today I sat down with Bobby Doc, who is pursuing a career in music in an attempts to change the game for those that come after him; and that’s only one of his goals. 

Hiphop is competitive. At times it’s detrimental to the artist, and at others, it’s the reason they succeed. Regardless, I know we can all benefit from more support coming from those that are a bit further down the line. 

Bobby and I dive into how we can take notes from comedy and comedians in general, and as always on BopCast, we work our way around. Use the timestamps below to navigate, or take the plunge with us for the whole conversation.

(8:35) - Why Bobby started writing music and why he never sits down to write. 

(14:33) - Artists are always efficient in the final hours. Why TikTok consultants charge so much. 

(17:41) - Is hiphop being competitive a bad thing? Why hiphop should learn from comedy. Is T.I. good at comedy? 

(22:21) - Donald Glover is the modern-day Dean Martin. And Mark Normand in my DM’s. There is no King of New Jersey in terms of music. 

(26:46) - Jersey has some of the most talented hiphop artists in the world, but venues don’t want rappers. 

(31:25) - Getting bumped after selling tickets, why all artists want to get signed, and how Bobby got signed.

(01:49:30) - The future of Bobby Doc.

This is a once-in-4-years podcast. Buckle up. 

There are artists who primarily focus on the craft, then there are artists who stand for and enact social change on top of what they do in the booth. Tunez does not only speak it in the music, but he’s fighting for something bigger than himself each chance he gets, and today only made that clearer.  

Tunezzup! is a rapper, songwriter, and producer from Newark, New Jersey. His undeniable bars leave you running back each track attempting to analyze the underlying message. His cadence is dialed-in, refined, and consistent on each record.

(13:37)- The death of nuance and lack of leadership in New Jersey.

(35:06) - The fundamental difference between the old music scene and today and why brand matters. Lupe Dragon vs the next big thing. 

(39:06) - It’s not about being great anymore. The label bait and switch. If Kanye wasn’t good. And why we have to hate the game, not the player? 

(43:56) - Alessia Cara is our celebrity crush and why she was successful. Pop doesn’t have a problem, hiphop does. And the real reason Juice WRLD rapped about drugs and why Tunez producer can’t leave Russia.

(01:20:31) -  The gender war is a result of a lack of standards. James Harden taking a pay cut is noble. Rappers only purchase liabilities. 

(01:26:14) - Finding a job that you love is difficult and how Tunez left Chick Fil A 

(01:33:22) - Seneca Falls and marginalized groups. My uncle got harassed for being gay in the 80s and now they use it for social clout.

Aarvee is an artist, songwriter, and producer originally from New Jersey. His precise, hand-crafted hard-hitting bars have transitioned into effortless hooks with undertones of a deeper meaning on each track. His newest song, “morefiend” brings a smooth, guitar-laden backtrack that fits perfectly with his wide backing vocals on the hook.

Artists are dynamic. Most podcasters won't take the chance on them because they're 'unpredictable', but that's an excuse to mask the fact that they can't match their energy. Today was unpredictable in the best way possible. From Qanon to drunks fights, to tinder horror stories to the best drunk cigs, you name it, we got into it today.
