This is a unique episode where Max Vandenberg and I share the behind-the-scenes story of bringing Race Service and Ornamental Conifer all the way across the world to Germany for the Porsche Brand Store. We had the chance to sit down in person while we were there and talk about exactly how this insane project came to be, and how we pulled it off against all odds! Moments like this don't normally get the chance to have their story told after all the dust settles, so I thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite moments and stories about how it all came together.

Loren Wells is a music lawyer with an understanding and passion for the entertainment business unlike anyone I've ever met. He's also an owner and partner at Wells & Kappel, an entertainment and I.P. law firm with a focus on musical talent. Having a good lawyer in entertainment can be the single biggest piece of getting signed, and getting the best record deal possible. In this episode we come back to that exact topic and discuss how much has changed since the last time we spoke in 2020, then Loren breaks down the new step by step process of exactly how to get signed in 2022. In addition we talk about some much bigger topics like how to find and follow purpose in life, how to find the right team as an artist in the music industry, and the importance of finding your own momentum and playing the long game in life.
