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.
