This week I am joined by Josh Robbins and we talk about starting over, staying at jobs for too long, loyalty to a company/career path and so much more. The conversation started because of a TikTok I posted and it was genuinely one of the best conversations I have had in a long time. I linked off to everywhere Josh can be found but I want to specifically call out his new album. Go pre-order a vinyl and support indie music. Also, if you or someone you know is looking to hire a UX/UI designer, hit Josh up here. Now tell everyone you know about this show and leave me some reviews. It is the only way to satisfy my ego.

Another short episode this week.

This week, I am joined by Jordan Dickerson. I met Jordan through Twitter and we bonded over a love of heavy music. Jordan walks us through growing up in a musical family, signing a record deal at ten, touring for a large part of his childhood, then trying to branch out and make it as an adult. Then we transition into where he is now, how working in logistics is similar to creating music, balancing being a partner/parent while trying to build a career and so much more.
