a conversation with my friend Ben Holtzman about working for Hal Prince, co-producing BE MORE CHILL, starting Range acapella, his upcoming fellowship at Columbia University, social media, the state of the theatre, and what it takes to live a creative and fulfilling life in New York City.

A quick update on where I'm at and a few of my favorite ideas from recent books I've read (Atomic Habits, Unsubscribe, and The Golden Sequence)

a conversation with Kathryn Allison about her new album "Something Real", being in Disney's ALADDIN on Broadway for four years, and how to cultivate a self outside of your job so that you can sustain happiness through the ups and downs of working in entertainment

a demo of a song called 'how does it feel'

This is an experiment and exercise in self-reflection. If you feel so inclined, you can call 774-728-2288 or email a voice memo to [email protected] with a voicemail to your younger self. The only requirement is that you start with, "hey it's me"

Selections from a Wednesday at the GrandLo set on January 23rd, 2019.

a conversation with Kate Lumpkin about point of view, patience, relationships, changing your path, habits, defining success, community, showing up, vulnerability, and ultimately the work of being alive.

this is a live acoustic demo of a song called "Marvelous Beast"

A conversation with PENNYWILD (aka Melanie Wildman) about forging your own path and not accepting someone else's limits. She's a DJ, choreographer, dancer and very dope human who's made a name for herself in LA after moving there with no connections or prospects. Her story is one of individuality, perseverance and generosity. She is kind, she is smart, and she is ridiculously talented and hearing her speak on her experience will make you reflect on what passions you could be pursuing.

Kicking off 2019 with something different. A special new year song - just for you.
