How do creative people find day jobs that allow them to be creative when they come home? You can't have a job that exhausts you mentally or even physically, otherwise you will never get to the real work.

These include job titles like: barista, sandwich artist, cashier, bin filler, and paraprofessional.

His current official titles are videographer, marketing assistant and box office associate. And you can hear his musical projects Wild Combo, and Harrison Sword on Spotify.

I knew that if I could get these two open-minded, witty freethinkers together, it would be an exhilarating experience for you too. Listen as they speak about how writers don't really enjoy writing, daydreaming, cave paintings, and the qualities of good storytelling.

Today I have the privilege of sharing this conversation between me and two of the chillest guys in the world, musicians Jerry Joseph and Leech Ernowetz. They share similar backstories. This is probably the reason why I wanted to get them together and record their conversation. Both started playing guitar at a young age and both are largely self-taught. Both played in multiple bands throughout their youth across a multitude of genres. And as you will hear, both consider the past, present and future in equal measure. Some of the topics we cover are: -Art + isolation -The drive to keep going -The future of music + AI I'm made richer by the conversation and I hope you will be too.
