HARDCORE! ART! WRESTLING! COMICS! GROWING UP MORMON! THAT 9 TO 5 CORPORATE GRIND!

This was the first time Dylan and I ever talked to one another and luckily enough we clicked really well! We had a lot in common with the music scenes we grew up in and what we're into musically these days too. We talked a lot about Dylan growing up in the Mormon church and his time spent in Los Angeles for his mission. We discuss his corporate copyrighting gig that pays the bills and his double life as a killer illustrator and graphic designer who is really well known in the worlds of indie comics, zines, wrestling and hardcore music. And as always Dylan gave me in the inside look at how he goes about balancing his work, his art and his personal relationships which as we all know is the key to succeeding in any creative field. Also as an added bonus we had our good friend and friend of the podcast Cameron del Rosario sitting in the room with us and he chimed in at points to add some laughs that we all need. The 3 of us were really just shooting the shit towards the end but it was a lot of fun. Dylan and his art rules and so does this episode. I hope you dig it. Enjoy!

In this episode I got to sit down with my new friend Mic. Carr. we talk about his day job as a personal trainer at Western Kentucky University and his job with the WKU athletic marketing department! You'll hear some about my weird/unhealthy workout habits I used to have. We talk about his family and how they influenced his taste in music and how they've always been there to support his passion for music. Outside of work he is a up and coming R&B/Hip Hop artist. we cover everything from his early beginnings of rapping in the attic of his childhood home to playing collegiate basketball to when he stopped playing ball to pursue music more seriously. and like every episode we discuss how he goes about balancing his life working for WKU and going to grad school with his music career and his personal relationships. Mic. Carr is one of the most inspiring people I've met doing the podcast and I hope you come out of it feeling just as lifted as I did when it was over. Let's dig into, my dudes!

BEER! BEER! AND MORE BEER! WORKING MANUAL LABOR! OPENING HIS OWN BREWERY! HOME BREWING! LIVING THE MARRIED LIFE WITH A KID!

Connor is one of my best buds from college and this episode was really fun to do. I took the podcast on the road for this recording to his house just South of Chattanooga in Georgia. If I sound a little groggy and low energy for the first 20 minutes or so it's because we recorded this early on a Sunday morning after a night of heavy drinking which I don't do much these days. welcome to my first 2 hour interview! Don't get discouraged or give up half way through it's a great one! we talk about every job he's had in like the last 6 years that I've known him including opening up and selling (his portion of) his own brewery! However brewing beer remains his passion project even after getting married and have his first child. And most importantly we discuss how he goes about balancing his life, with a with a wife and daughter, with work and his passion project! Dig into it and grab a beer, my dudes!
