Connection is Magic is “A Lighthouse For Creatives” and those working in the arts, music, fashion, sports, modeling and entertainment industry.  Ego’s, volatility, burn out and public scrutiny, are just a few of the innumerable stressors that are inherent on this journey.  Enduring takes a massive toll on our mental health.  

The podcast is hosted by former music executive, coach to artists & training psychologist, Samson Shulman.  Through unfiltered conversation with both up and comer's & veterans of the field, the podcast seeks to disrupt the algorithm of today’s highlight-reel culture.  Listeners will learn how to make something beautiful from their pain, evolve, and in the process — help others.

The podcast was born out of host, Samson Shulman’s own “dark night of the soul,” after battling Lyme Disease, a near death experience from a tumor hemorrhaging in his head and severe career burnout working at Interscope Records, Atlantic Records, The Tonight Show and in Artist Management.

Please SHARE and leave a REVIEW for the podcast if you enjoy it, as this helps spread the word to more people who need these messages.  Greatly appreciated!
