    I was so engaged in this conversation. I wished I heard this 11 years ago, when I was looking for my first creative job.

      Amos is an amazingly sharp guy, and such a pro. This conversation caused me to step back and consider how to up my professionalism. Glad you enjoyed it!

    Great podcast and advice – so much so that it has made me decide to focus down again. Thanks to both of you!!

    Great interview! I am a bass player myself who has his sights set on Nashville, and this is very valuable stuff.. for anyone, really, regardless of field.

    I worked with Amos when we were both baristas! It’s so inspiring to see how far he’s gone and know that good things really do happen to great people when they go after it! :-)

      Worked with him in Cinci myself, and he was very popular with the ladies! Sharp, funny and good-looking. I’m glad for his success.
