Ep28 - A Conversation With Greg Bennick (Part 4)

EP-31 Sometimes Putting In The Work Doesn't Pay Off

After the ABJ run came to an end, we started fresh with a new band called The Famed with a new sound, new energy, new expectations. We recorded at Black Lodge Studios, played 100 shows, worked day jobs unloading trucks, and did everything “right.” But sometimes doing everything right still isn’t enough. In this episode of Hustle The Most, I talk about assumptions, studio pressure, chasing traction, and what it feels like to pour everything into something that never catches fire. Not every project makes it, but every project teaches you something.

EP30 - What I Learned In The True Midwest

EP30 - What I Learned In The True Midwest After touring with Most Precious Blood, I landed behind the kit for Kansas City’s Anything But Joey—a pop-rock band with big harmonies, campus shows, and an incredible fan base. In this episode of Hustle The Most, I share what it was like joining three lifelong friends on the road, playing 50 shows across the Midwest, and the lessons I learned about promotion, fan connection, and doing things differently than the punk and hardcore world I came from.

Ep29 - Sometimes It's Ok To Be A Cog

Ep29 - Sometimes It's Ok To Be A Cog After a long break, Hustle The Most is back—and so am I, with stories about jumping headfirst into opportunities. In this episode, I share how a last-minute call from my friend Justin turned into a whirlwind tour with Most Precious Blood. From learning 14 songs in 30 hours to headlining fests in front of peers and heroes, I talk about the pressure, the process, and the lessons I learned about preparation, trust, and knowing your role.
