Episode 16 is here for you! I've got spring fever- I've never experienced wanting to be outdoors in May before! Have some great jams to keep you motivated while working and/or driving around. Plus music news, some nerdy feel good news, and another segment of my interview with Mike Zimmerlich of 80/20 Records and Omelette Prevail. He gives us his "origin story" how he began in the music industry, and how that pivoted from what he originally thought he would do before he and his partner began 80/20 Records in 2007. Good story for anyone who has or might start a business or take a leap in the music industry. Enjoy the show!
