Thompson, Keith Richards, Falstaff, Ernest Hemingway, the surfer Bunker Spreckles. Here's the thing: There are...

March 25, 2021 Heavy subject. Probably because I’m spending time with Joy Bauer from NBC’s Today Show. The subject is pretty much what most people don’t want to talk about.

Learning how to be mentally measured without feeling like you’ve lost hope in the self you are. You aren’t alone...

Ben was raised in church and first started singing in the choir. He continued singing in the school chorus but didn't seriously pursue music after high school.

March 23, 2021 I’ve always been a morning person. Totally convinced that I wake up several times during the night because I’m anxious to get a new day started. Creative minds work at different times. Which can easily lead to disconnections. The “rumor” was Eddie Van Halen was extremely active in the studio at unheard of hours. Sammy Hagar couldn’t always make himself available. That’s a strange wo...

March 19, 2021 This one is gonna be heavy. If you physically take the time to know your presence and the areas that you consume you’ll be able to relate.

Oh it’s in your eyes. You can’t hide. Hollow emptines...
