This is Life, Marker!

He's stopped at every music instrument and pro-audio convention for pictures from his fans... He's taught everyone everything there is to know about every guitar pedal and guitar you need to know about... And he has a Grammy? Ladies and gentlemen we have a treat for you today! The great Mitch Gallagher is with us as we talk about connections, career paths, music and video production, and maybe even a bit of super hero nicknames as we discover who is the real Spider-Mitch. It's an inside joke.. you'll get it at around 30 minutes into the podcast. Or somewhere. I can't remember. It is there somewhere though don't you worry! Thanks for an amazing first season and we will see you in the second!

This episode is your inside peek to getting started in the music production industry and you know what? It isn't easy. But our guest did it, and so can you! Two or three jobs at a time, college or no college, with or without studio etiquette (but you better learn fast), Jason Peets is your captain and we are your crew here today to show you how he did it his way. Buckle in, keep your hands and legs inside the metaphor at all times, and enjoy the ride. Also his band name is Chewy Lucas and they are spectacular.

Have you ever applied to 50+ jobs and not gotten any of them? Our guest, Ashley Brown, knows that feeling all too well. It's a feeling that anyone trying to get their opening into the video production world faces. Want some big advice from a tiny human with a success story? Grab something cold because this episode will warm your heart and inspire your ambition to get out there and show the world you DO deserve that job. 

Go to NHMediaProductionsLLC.com to see Noah's work! Aspect ratios, anamorphic lenses, Red vs Black magic?! A musician at heart and a camera junkie by trade, he's the only hardware nerd we look up to 100% of the time. He's a tall, mean, recording machine! Just kidding about the mean; Noah is one of the kindest people we have ever met. Fall into his smooth voice and deep surplus of knowledge just as hard as we did in this episode!

Go to TheCCCProject.com to hear more about Olivia's project and how to get involved! This episode is your inside scoop on producing shoots, making a standout demo reel, and realizing the importance and value in your passions. She's had our backs as long as we've known her, may her advice and experience be with you.

Wait, this is new... An animator on the podcast? Not a musician or audio engineer, but an actual person of production?! We're amazed, and you will be too when you hear about getting into the animation industry, finding your inspiration, and learning that you really know less about where you want to go than you think you do. Time changes us, experiences develop us, and Sonic inspires us. Listen along and you'll understand.

The guest we have on today is a fifth generational musician who's traveled from the states to Japan playing music and warming hearts. We say warming hearts because he is one of Blake and Fernando's favorite musicians and he does just that every time he plays. He's a delight, he's got a unique confession, he's got more talent in one performance than all three of us have combined in our entire lives - he is Jacob Dupre!

Five jobs to get to work as a Youtube content creator, working for free but also knowing your value, and where to start to get into the music and video industries are just a fraction of this episode. Rachel Leonard is a talented audio engineer that goes in depth about her experiences in the music industry and the best strategies to get yourself involved. Or the best strategies to go insane. Sometimes they are the same thing in the audio mixing and video creation world. This is life, marker!

We interview an up and coming artist who's traveled to New York in 2021 to pursue music, and she's already killing it. Her story, expertise, and even some confessions provide deep insight into how to begin a music career; and even where to take it. Know yourself folks, and then know what to do with that information to find success in the content producing industry.

Join us in episode one while we interview the only life of the party that will never admit it - Connor Gates! Starting your passion, emotional exhaustion in a creative field, and way too many mountain dew bottles? This episode is sure to make you laugh, cringe, nod your head, and then shake it faster than Blake can yell at Fernando for kissing the equipment again.
