Music On Your Own Terms Episode 34 - Joe Leach/Riff City Guitar
Right before the holiday I talked to Joe Leach, owner of Riff City Guitar, a Minnesota based guitar store that was the first US retailer to bring the Chapman guitars brand to America, and unfortunately has recently closed its doors. We discuss Joe's background in both sales and music; his journey in entrepreneurship and the different businesses he's been a part of and look at the the retail industry at large. We talk about how important it is to figure out your "why" and I'm extremely grateful to Joe for sharing with us his experience with depression, anxiety and addiction, and his insight into how he's managed to overcome some things and live with others. Music is courtesy of the band Unturned, featuring Joe's son Will on guitar!

Music On Your Own Terms Episode 32 - Bryan Beller
I recently had the pleasure of talk with bassist Bryan Beller, who talks about his time working for SWR amps, where he learnt some valuable lessons in business management, and why he left after the company was sold to Fender. We also talk about various strategies of how to build a fulfilling career in music, how he overcame having his custom basses stolen, and we talk in depth about the creation process of his stellar new album "Scenes From The Flood".

Music On Your Own Terms Episode 26 - Mike Abdow - Fates Warning/Ray Alder
This episode I have pleasure of talking with Mike Abdow, touring guitarist for Fates Warning, songwriter/producer for Ray Alder solo, guitarist for Aquanett, and of course, Mike's own amazing solo material! We talk about what led to his love of music, how he got the Fates Warning gig, killer memorization strategies, touring tips, philosophy, and writing with Ray Alder. I also couldn't resist the urge to nerd out a little on Mike's guitar and amp set up, and find out what Mike did before making a living as a musician.
