Rob Bailey is one of my musical heroes and someone I'm proud to call not just a friend but also a mentor through my early years living in New York City and finding my way as a musician. He not only introduced me to Zeppelin (way late in my life!) but taught me what it was to be a professional musician. From ad Jingles to Aerosmith, he's literally done it all. Have a listen to what goes into a successful life long career as a guitar player, singer, composer and musician.

I sit down in NYC with my long time friend, bandmate and fellow magic enthusiast (I learned everything I know from him!) Jojo Mayer. He was fresh off the road from a tour of the UK with his band NERVE and had a lot of great insight to give when it came to our discussion about the music business, drums, the internet and host of other things.

It's not often that I get to meet any heroes of mine, let alone sit down with them in New York City for a one on one interview. This is the most action packed 35mins of my podcasting history to date and I hope you enjoy "that time I met Seth Godin for the first time..."

I sit down with Animals As Leaders guitarist Tosin Abasi for an in-depth interview and jam session. We talk about everything from touring to fitness, gear to composition and just about everything in between. As well as playing a little together and trading musical ideas.

A unique story of someone at the height of their career in the music business working as a drummer, recording engineer and mixing engineer with the likes of Sting, Sheryl Crow, Bon Jovi, Rod Stewart, Santana, Kelly Clarkson and the list goes on... who starts over from scratch in a completely new field, becoming just as much a guru of this new found love for health, nutrition, hydration and well being. The information in this podcast could change your life as a musician. It has done for me and allows me to operate at a much higher level whether it's performing live, recording in the studio or composing original music for my own albums.
