I've recently launched my podcast "A Path Unfolding" with the goal to highlight some of my favorite artists and humans in the music industry and beyond. We'll be diving deep into their crazy stories and how they got to where they are today. I think this is unique because I'm adding videos and images over the interview to bring some of their stories to life.

I'd love your support (like, comment, subscribe) and any suggestions for artists you'd like to see on the pod.
