Starting a pedal (or any other kind of guitar gear) company this day and age can be a very daunting. Scott Marquart has taken on one of the most difficult product categories in the industry and has seen great success with that.

Not only that, but he is my partner in practically every business endeavor outside of this podcast. He is a super sharp dude, and I thought he would be the perfect guest to have a more "business focused" episode.

If you are trying to get some sort of musical instrument business off the ground, this is a fantastic episode for you.

Brad Tolinski and Chris Gill have been in the guitar media world for decades. Through that, these fellas have had many, many epic conversations with some of the most influential guitarists to ever walk the planet.

They had the opportunity to interview Eddie Van Halen multiple times, and the resulting 50+ hours of interviews were compiled into an epic tome called Eruption: Conversations With Eddie Van Halen. It is a great read, and I really enjoyed talking with Chris and Brad about their respective histories, how the book came together, Eddie's impact on culture, how guitar media has evolved and a whole lot more.

You can grab the book from one of my favorite independent book stores HERE.
