A dive deep into the mindset and life of John Joseph, the legendary former lead singer of the punk rock band, Cro-Mags.

From his electrifying performances around the world to his thought-provoking perspectives, John has left an indelible mark on the music scene, but his contributions, accomplishments and passions go way beyond the stage including the Joe Rogan Experience.

We covered an eclectic and diverse set of topics, ranging from spirituality, religion, and the power of questioning dogma, to challenging authoritarianism, fitness, plant-based living and John's unwavering commitment to staying true to himself.

John's tumultuous past includes overcoming an unstable childhood, battling addiction, and finding resilience through inner strength and willpower. His raw and unfiltered perspective offers hope and inspiration, with a dose of skepticism and disobedience. John encourages us to embrace personal transformation and create positive change in the world.

Drawing from the rebellious spirit of punk rock, John shares his fearless advocacy and unwavering commitment to standing up and speaking out, despite social and financial consequences.

Moreover, we explore the significance of discipline in shaping a purposeful life, as John's unwavering dedication and commitment to personal growth provide valuable lessons for all.

In this episode, I spoke with former world champion skimboarder Austin Keen. Austin is one of the biggest names, talents, and most recognizable characters in skim, wake surfing and water sports.

Millions of followers watch his viral skim and wakeboarding videos as he expresses his creativity and skills on beaches, oceans and lakes around the world.

Not only is Austin one of the best wakeboarders and skimboarders in the world but he is absolutely crushing it with big brand deals, celebrity collaborations and he even appeared on The Ellen Show.

In this episode, we unravelled the remarkable journey of an athlete who discovered his exceptional talents and merged his passion for action sports with the entrepreneurial spirit.

We explored the pivotal moments when Austin realized he possessed something genuinely extraordinary. We also discussed how the path of entrepreneurship intertwines with the inherent risks and challenges of action sports. 

Austin candidly shares personal anecdotes from his childhood growing up in Georgia and how he found his way to the west coast where he found a new paradigm of life and established his reputation as a professional skimboarder.

Keen answered questions about the lessons he learned on his way up on the skimboarding circuit, and we dug deep to discover what exactly is the fuel that drives him every day and surprisingly, it has a bit to do with his former life in plumbing.

Immerse yourself in the world of Austin Keen, where boundless passion, indomitable spirit, and endless possibilities collide.

I am so stoked to share my conversation with Adam Topol. Adam is a professional percussionist best known as the drummer with the legendary singer-songwriter and surfer, Jack Johnson.

 This conversation took me on a journey through Adam's musical career, and his unwavering commitment to giving back to the community.

Adam let me dive in on the deep end of his mind to explore and we unearthed some fascinating topics that I could have talked about all day.

We traded thoughts on being creative from a place of intuition and emotion, and the importance of finding gratitude in the little things as an artist – which for many of us is challenging. We also talked about the music scene, rolling with celebrities, staying humble, and the importance of being a fan first so you never lose touch with the magic of music.

Professionally speaking, Adam spends a lot of his time touring the world and providing the heartbeat and rhythm behind Jack Johnson. Yet Adam’s musical collaborations reach far beyond the recognizable and super catchy drum fills in "Flake" and "Bubble Toes".  Adam has jammed with Joey Santiago and Ziggy Marley and collaborated with musical icons like David Gilmour and Jimmy Cliff and as you'll hear in this episode Adam also has rubs cheeks (literally) with another one of my favorites, Dave Matthews.

Topol also has several side projects that keep him busy. The most notable is Culver City Dub Collective which is known for its captivating blend of Jamaican roots reggae, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and West Coast bossa beats. Topol has also put out three studio albums as a solo artist, the latest one titled “Cuando” in which he collaborated with producer and fellow singer-songwriter Matt Costa.

It was abundantly clear from our conversation, that Adam Topol is all about giving back and being authentic. As a former public school teacher, Adam looks for ways to not only entertain but to leave the world a better place than he found it. 

Like his bandmate Jack Johnson, Adam believes in using his platform to make a positive impact on the planet and is deeply committed to volunteer service and connecting with others.

I felt the connection when talking to Adam too. He’s down to Earth, wears his heart on his sleeve, and is making art for the right reasons.

I went into this conversation not knowing which direction it would take and couldn’t be happier with the twists and turns of this exchange.

In this episode, I spoke to professional Photographer Anita Sadowska. Anita mainly focuses her lens on swimwear, fashion, and fine art nude models and has developed a thriving business with a diverse income stream. 

Aside from her busy shooting schedule, over the past decade, she's built her YouTube channel to share her knowledge of photographic gear, and techniques. Her 100,000 subscribers tune in regularly to learn about her photography techniques, editing methods, and how she works with models and to be inspired. Clearly she's doing something right with her videos having millions of views.

Sadowska talks about her love of travel and feels quite comfortable globe-trotting and documenting her world travels. Anita has called many places home including London, the United States, Bali, and throughout Europe.

Anita is passionate and vocal about breaking taboos around nudity and seeing the human body as an art form.

In this candid conversation with Anita, we also discussed how she uses NFTs and other digital assets to supplement her income stream.

I asked Anita about some of the conflicting moral issues and shame around nudity in society and where she sees her creative focus going in the future.

Matt Grundy is a California-based world-renowned multi-instrumentalist, touring, and studio musician. Matt has performed with and toured with some of the biggest names in the music industry including G. Love, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson as well as his main gig accompanying Donavon Frankenreiter which keeps him quite busy circling the globe year-round. 

When not on tour, Grundy feels most himself with his wife, and daughter or in his music studio. Matt speaks from the heart about how he always seeks balance between living the rockstar life and being a bit more introverted at home.

Grundy describes his lifestyle and career as bipolar based on the extremes he experiences in both directions, from luxurious trips to Richard Branson’s Necker Island to staying in a room full of penis statues in Tahiti, to traveling around Europe in a souped-up cargo van with no heat and wooden bunks.

Matt has built up an impressive fluency on guitar, bass guitar, harmonica, vocals and drums, and aside from his gigging life he’s been developing his reputation as a singer-songwriter. Thus far he’s put out two studio albums and takes his music creation very seriously. 

We go far and wide on this podcast. Matt shares his thoughts on AI and how it's affecting the music industry and how streaming platforms have become the new record label behemoth. Matt dives into his creative process and how he's constantly learning new things and improving his skills as a musician. 

We touched upon what it’s like to be around true greatness and how toxic it can be to compare yourself to others. Matt says that he has a very obsessive mind and his former life with addiction has helped him to learn to point those compulsions at better things like fitness, sobriety, health, family, music and evolving as a human.

In talking to Grundy, it’s clear that he’s doing music for the right reason. He said that he's not looking to be rich and famous anymore, but he's always going to keep making music the way he wants to, regardless of who does or doesn't listen to it. 

I’ve been friends with Matt since we were on tour together in Brazil in 2007 and I love my talks with Grundy.

For more than a decade, Shaughnessy has been working as a professional bass player and has played at several renowned festivals and venues across the UK and Europe.

He is also a member of the band Lloyd Yates and holds a degree in Popular Music (Bass) from the British and Irish Modern Music Institute. 

The pandemic caused a break in his music career and gave him the opportunity to explore another passion - Art.

In the beginning of 2021, he discovered non-fungible tokens, and since then has been having a wild ride in the world of Web3. In the past year and a half in the crypto-art space, Bstract has had an amazing journey, with more than 200 sales and collaborations with some incredible artists.

Recently, he was featured in Time's Emerging Artist series and won the Unstoppable Remix contest after Sia chose his work. He was also chosen to be a featured speaker at NFT London. Bstract has cultivated a unique style by combining his sound and visual art, and all of his projects are recorded on the blockchain, from his genesis collection to his upcoming works.

Gabe Weis is a multidisciplinary artist and an absolute legend in the NFT space. When the Bay area-based fine artist is not selling out 5,000 piece collections in minutes he can be found hobnobbing with A-list celebrities like Paris Hilton and floating around in zero gravity airplanes making art.  

Aside from selling millions of dollars in NFTs and artwork Gabe readily admits that he is "pretty good at self-promotion" and an expert in marketing and building communities which no doubt are some of the keys to his massive success.

Weis doesn't hold back in this conversation and openly talks about his beginnings growing up with a cookie-cutter, rather normal childhood to opening his mind with the help of psychedelics and becoming the rising star of NFTs that he is today.

Gabe talked about how The Stoics, his most popular NFT project took off and as of today has a sales volume of about $2.25 million dollars.

From his humble beginnings and a stint in politics, Gabe still focuses on making a difference in the world. Nowadays he lets his art do the work and focuses on family, building his brand, growing his community, and piling up one surreal experience on top of the other.

It was refreshing to speak to Gabe. I can feel the authenticity and excitement come out in the way he speaks about his life. There's no doubt that he is grateful for what he's built and his inner child is still very much still a big part of his persona.

"I don't make it to be perfect...I do like the challenge of kind of getting a piece where I like it...but I haven't spent every day on them...", Gabe says.

As we artists do, we take what we like, make it our own and push forward. The artwork of Gabe Weis could be described as Picasso meets Basquiat and Weis doesn't hide those influences. His cubist artwork is colorful, raw, vibrant, bold, and iconic and his hype extends beyond the boundaries of Twitter and the NFT space. 

Please connect with Gabe and me (Jay Alders) on socials, share, subscribe, review, tag and do all that stuff that algorithms love please, we appreciate the love!
