What You Don't Hear
Nate Winkelmes is a musician under his project The Fears ( ) After his first appearance on the show being way back on episode 5, this week I sit down for a great return conversation with musician and creative, Nate Winkelmes. 5 years ago when Nate was first on the show, he was just beginning his real venture into making music through the first phase of his (then) band 'The Fears', after a failed venture into the creative agency world. What I wasn't aware of at the time though, was another journey Nate was on, and that was one of sobriety. As we catch up with Nate's story since his...

What You Don't Hear
Brandon McMaster is a musician in the bands Former and Lucky Shot. Brandon’s story I will kind of categorize as one of really knowing your passion and having that love really stick with you through lots of ups and downs. His story is one of reinvention, and a lot of self-reflection. We start with discovering that love of music through his mom, to starting bands in high school, to helping launch the band Sleeping With Sirens. He opens up about the story of Sleeping with Sirens and what led to leaving the band, and while all that was happening, he was dealing the loss of his mom, and we chat...

What You Don't Hear
In this episode, I catch up with Corey Mouch, musician from the band (formerly 90s’ Kids), and we talk all about what it’s like being a musician chasing the dream of music in this one, the highs and lows of chasing a dream in general, and how he’s learned to create just for the love of it. I’ve gotta say, as I always do, these episodes, stories and perspectives are always in my opinion, good for anyone of any background to hear, but I’ll double down on saying that this episode is a GREAT one to listen to if you’re a musician. Creator of any kind yes, but for sure if you’re...
