In this episode, Paula Amato joins Rhonda for an honest conversation about career reinvention, non-linear paths, and trusting long-term evolution over quick wins. Paula Amato, a seasoned PR and communications professional, shares how she transitioned from the music industry into wellness, storytelling, and ultimately transformational travel. Together, they explore career pivots, identity shifts, and what it really takes to build a meaningful professional life rooted in purpose, curiosity, and personal growth.Key Takeaways:Why career pivots often unfold over years, not months, and why patience mattersHow transferable skills like storytelling and communication unlock new industriesThe power of staying in a beginner's mindset during career transitionsWhy financial planning and timing are critical when leaving corporate rolesHow authentic brand building starts with self-trust, not external validationWhat transformational travel teaches us about growth, leadership, and perspectiveMeet Paula AmatoPaula Amato is a seasoned PR and communications professional whose career spans music and the arts, wellbeing, social impact, and transformational travel.

After launching her career in the music industry at a young age, Paula later moved into independent consulting, where she explored wellness, functional medicine, and personal development. Over time, those interests naturally intersected with her communications expertise, opening the door to transformational travel and purpose-driven work.“My trajectory has not been linear, but every phase taught me something I needed for the next one.”Rather than forcing a fast transition, Paula allowed her pivot to unfold gradually. She spent years learning a new industry, building relationships, and redefining her role—proving that sustainable reinvention often requires curiosity, humility, and the willingness to sit in uncertainty.Insights for Ambitious WomenOne of Paula's most powerful lessons is that career transitions don't require abandoning your past, they require reframing it. She encourages women to recognize their transferable skills and trust that experience gained in one industry often becomes the foundation for success in another.“We all underestimate ourselves.

Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz delivers a sharp, data-driven analysis of Bruno Mars' explosive lead single “I Just Might,” released January 9, 2026, via Atlantic Records—the first preview of his fourth solo album The Romantic, set for February 27, 2026.Born October 8, 1985, Bruno Mars has sold over 200 million singles globally, earned multiple Grammys, and defined retro revivalism through 1970s disco, funk, soul, and Motown influences. After 24K Magic (2016), Silk Sonic, and recent smashes like “Die With a Smile” and “APT.,” this marks his first solo album in nearly a decade.Co-written/produced by Mars, D'Mile, Philip Lawrence, and Brody Brown, the mid-tempo disco-pop/pop-soul cut layers funk guitar, bold brass, and pristine vocals with nods to Leo Sayer's 1976 classic “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing.” The co-directed music video (Bruno Mars & Daniel Ramos; choreography by Mars & Phil Tayag) features a 1970s soundstage, multi-instrumental performance, and “clone” versions of Mars, quickly surpassing 11 million YouTube views.Early metrics (as of January 13-14, 2026) set career highs: Spotify US debut #1 (1.94M Day-1 streams), Global #3 (4.97M Day-1)—his largest solo Spotify global debut ever. It instantly topped US iTunes and claimed 71% of votes in Billboard's Best New Music poll, outpacing The Kid LAROI, Zach Bryan, and Robyn. Release triggered catalog resurgence, with “That's What I Like” and “Locked Out of Heaven” re-entering Billboard Global 200 charts, placing four Mars tracks simultaneously.Analytic Dreamz examines the strategic rollout: no genre reinvention, but flawless execution leveraging nostalgia, polished showmanship, and fan demand for elite streaming, digital sales, and immediate approval. Positive reception highlights catchiness, dance-floor energy, and nostalgia; pushback includes creative stagnation critiques and renewed cultural appropriation discussions around retro Black music homage. Yet the data underscores commercial dominance, priming The Romantic—a romantic, retro-forward feel-good project—for strong first-week impact, amplified by The Romantic Tour (April–October 2026 across North America, Canada, Europe; presale January 14, onsale January 15; supports DJ Pee .Wee/Anderson .Paak, Leon Thomas, Raye, Victoria Monét).Join Analytic Dreamz for this no-fluff breakdown of Bruno Mars' strategically perfect 2026 comeback launch.

What happens when you sit down with an engineer who helped define multiple eras of music - from Foreigner to Timbaland - and he tells you the secret is still just listening for what feels good? Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.com My guest today is Jimmy Douglass, legendary producer, mixer, and engineer whose career spans more than five decades. Jimmy began as a teenager at Atlantic Records in New York, making tape copies and quietly slipping into the back of sessions, where he learned by watching giants like Tom Dowd, Arif Mardin, and Jerry Wexler. He grew up in the era when you had to earn your way into the control room, and those lessons shaped everything that came after. Jimmy talked about working on classic records for Foreigner, including helping mix Follow You, Follow Me when Genesis was still emerging, and cutting his teeth editing music for radio versions - including early work on King Crimson. He also shared memories of the post-punk era, mixing records for Gang of Four and Television, including the iconic Marquee Moon, and how those productions influenced his sense of space, energy, and performance. Then Jimmy walked us into the world that many people know him for - his long-running creative partnership with Timbaland. He explained how Tim's rhythmic sensibility forced him to rethink timing, movement, and pocket, and stories of respectful sessions working with Snoop Dogg.   We also talked about longevity: how Jimmy stays inspired, how he keeps reinventing himself, why he still chases accidents and surprises in the studio, and the challenge of balancing instinct with intention across 50 years of making records. If you love stories from inside the control room or want to understand how great mixers think, this episode is loaded with wisdom and wild history.   https://metalliance.com/ https://www.sheencenter.org/events/detail/studio-confidential-1   THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS! http://UltimateMixingMasterclass.com https://usa.sae.edu/ https://www.izotope.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off! https://www.native-instruments.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off! https://www.adam-audio.com/ https://www.spectra1964.com https://gracedesign.com/ https://pickrmusic.com  https://RecordingStudioRockstars.com/Academy https://www.thetoyboxstudio.com/ Listen to the podcast theme song "Skadoosh!" https://solo.to/lijshawmusic Listen to this guest's discography on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6voPl0icbbrLKCh7MqFiHe?si=7MKSFLWmT76HunqSyUQHLg If you love the podcast, then please leave a review: https://RSRockstars.com/Review   CLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AT: https://RSRoockstars.com/540

Saigon sits down with Ian Bick to tell the full story of his upbringing, how getting pulled into the streets and gangs led him down a path that ultimately landed him in New York State Prison, and the crime that changed his life forever. Saigon opens up about what surviving prison really took, how incarceration reshaped his mindset, and why he refused to glorify crime after his release. He breaks down how music became his way out, eventually signing with Atlantic Records, and working with Mark Wahlberg on Entourage. This is an honest conversation about prison survival, accountability, hip-hop, and building a future that doesn't lead back behind bars. _____________________________________________ #prisonstory #truecrime #prisonlife #statesprison #prisonsurvival #lockedin #realstories #rap _____________________________________________ Thank you to PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode!

Ruthie Foster joins me on the show this week. I first met Ruthie about 20 years ago, when we were both playing at a Canadian folk festival. We had a few workshops together and really hit it off. She's one of the most incredible singers I've ever heard - so powerful and soulful, but also totally open to jamming and opening things up in a cool way. We re-connected this summer at the Vancouver Folk Festival and had a blast playing together again after all those years.Ruthie is a Grammy Award- winning recording artist (among many other awards!) who has an incredible new album out on Sun Records that she made here in Nashville with Tyler Bryant called “Mileage” - be sure to check it out! Ruthie came up singing in the church, performing all over Texas, and then had a stint in New York when she got signed to Atlantic Records. That didn't really pan out and Ruthie stepped back from music for a while, joined the Navy, which led to joining the Navy band, which sort of got her back into performing music. After her time in the Navy, Ruthie re-committed to music and started releasing her first solo albums, of which she now has 11 or 12 out since about 1997. They're all excellent, and Ruthie has always stayed true to her roots of blues, soul, gospel, folk and rock & roll. I got a chance to spend a bit of time with her here in Nashville during the Americanafest this year, and it was so great to hear her tell her story about her ineteresting path in the music world.You can get all Ruthie's current info and her busy tour schedule over at www.ruthiefoster.comPlease enjoy my conversation with Ruthie Foster!This season is brought to you by our main sponsors Larivée Guitars, Audeze, Izotope, FabFilter, and Chase Bliss.

In celebration of the deluxe edition of Foreigner's fourth album, 4, we take a detailed look at how it was made. After Mick Jones broke into the music industry as a session musician while playing in multiple bands, including Spooky Tooth, he envisioned starting a new project for the songs he was writing. He recruited musicians Ian McDonald, Dennis Elliott, Al Greenwood and Ed Gagliardi before turning his attention to finding the right lead singer for the band. After recalling meeting Lou Gramm when he was the singer of the Rochester, New York band Black Sheep, Jones asked Gramm to audition in New York City. Gramm was immediately hired and the lineup was complete. They signed a deal with Atlantic Records and released their self-titled debut album in 1977, which became a big success. Their second album, Double Vision, was released in 1978 and continued their run of hit singles. For their third album, Head Games, they clashed with producer Roy Thomas Baker and the album was not as successful as the first two. Rick Wills had taken over on bass at this point and after Head Games, they decided to let go of Ian McDonald and Al Greenwood to become a four-piece. They hired producer Mutt Lange and began recording at Electric Lady Studios. Foreigner 4 was eventually released in 1981.  In this episode, Lou Gramm shares stories of growing up in Rochester, getting to see artists like Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones, which went on to inspire his lyrics for “Jukebox Hero.” He describes this turning point moment for the band when they wanted to update their sound and image for the 1980s. By paring down to a four-piece and bringing in outside musicians like Thomas Dolby on synthesizers, they forged a new path forward for the band. With the help of producer Mutt Lange, they were able to focus on crafting a tight set of rock songs while exploring new sonic territory with songs like “Waiting for a Girl Like You” and “Urgent.” From long hours and late nights in the studio, to Mutt Lange's perfectionist tendencies, to Thomas Dolby's art rock approach, to Mick Jones falling in love with synthesizers, to spontaneously recruiting Junior Walker for a saxophone solo, to a mysterious muse in the studio while recording “Waiting for a Girl Like You,” to both Foreigner and Mutt Lange at the height of their powers, we'll hear the stories of how the album came together.

We kick off with Jon and Fintan discussing a bit of everything, with some exasperation reserved for past events in Vegas where there were zero arrests despite money laundering and lax AML on a grand scale, allegedly; Fintan also reminisces about his time on a building site, when he actually worked for a living [0:00 – 19:13].Then we meet star guest John Caldwell of i3Soft, a company building casino software and games that they say will change the way people play for money. Unfortunately for John, he also worked for Atlantic Records at a key point in Jon's life, managing a band Jon likes very much, so you know that also gets into the conversation. We discuss playing Pop-A-Shot against Living Colour, and John's crazy origin story of his path to the gambling industry. It's well worth a listen, and a reminder of how many fantastic personalities we have in this industry [19:14 – 1:10:09]. Choice quotes: "I was actually killing members of Living Colour at Pop-A-Shot.""I was destroying, destroying Will Calhoun."John Caldwell on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-caldwell-5909791/As ever, we thank all of our sponsors for their vibrant and excellent support.

Trillion & Rima), a red-bandana Balenciaga statement reasserting dominance with immediate visual accompaniment.Analytic Dreamz breaks down the full 2025 context: Uzi's low-profile year, cleared sexual harassment lawsuit (dismissed with prejudice), and the active $110M copyright case over “Just Wanna Rock” claiming 93–97% melodic similarity to Rief Rawyal's “Pain and Pleasure.”This segment analyzes how Uzi's Roc-backed independence creates one of rap's most powerful artist-business structures, signals a return to beloved spacey sonics, and kicks off a new rollout era with unstoppable momentum.

In this episode, we speak with Brenda Bergen, the art director behind Talk on Corners, about her creative journey and the story of shaping one of The Corrs' most iconic visual eras.Brenda shares the path that led from graduate school in the Midwest to New York's entertainment industry, working with Vibe magazine, VH1, and MTV, before joining Atlantic Records as an art director.She explains the role of art direction in music, which includes building the band's “brand”, to capturing the essence of an album through imagery, design, and visual storytelling.We hear the story behind the artwork for Talk on Corners: scouting Dublin locations, assembling a creative team, and collaborating with photographers Damien and Layla of Blinkk, whose layered, dreamlike imagery helped define the album's look. Brenda discusses working with the band and management to shape the final cover, how different versions evolved and the balancing act between creative vision and commercial direction. It's a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how Talk on Corners's visual identity was created.To view the early concepts for the cover artwork click HEREBrenda was kind enough to look through her journals from 1997 and found the dates for the photo shoot for the album cover shot in Ireland between May 29th - June 3rd, 1997.To see polaroids of Andrea taken during the photoshoot please follow the link HEREThe later PR Photoshoot in L.A. was shot on July 24th 1997 and yet more shots were taken on Sept 14th 1997.For a more visual understanding of how Brenda adapted the fonts 'Osprey' and 'Entropy' to create the Talk on Corners era logo, click HEREAt 00:24:50 you can hear a clip of the demo of the song 'When He's Not Around'.At 00:41:37 you can hear a clip of the early mix for the song 'Intimacy'.Brenda mentioned a photo of her with the band which can be seen HEREBrenda now runs Wink Design.

This episode of Across The Margin : The Podcast features an interview with bassist/producer Mocean Worker (aka Adam Dorn) and pianist/composer Joe Alterman, who have come together for Keep The Line Open, a funky, feel-good tribute to the late soul jazz legend Les McCann. Keep The LIne Open remarkably taps into the genre-blurring spirit that defined McCann's music, as well as his influence on Joe and Adam. Both Joe and Adam called Les McCann a friend, collaborator, and mentor. Joe was a devotee of Les who had the rare opportunity to open for his hero, and later craft songs with him. Adam met Les through his dad, Joel Dorn, who produced several Les records for Atlantic Records, including the iconic Swiss Movement. Adam and Joe created Keep The Line Open by melding sampling with live instrumentation to pay homage to an era when the groove reigned supreme and the vibe was decidedly danceable. It's a super fun and funky sonic journey designed to sound like it was captured at a jazz club circa 1964. Learn all about it and more in this episode. Hosted on Acast.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! Last week, Ghana lost another living legend, the first lady of the 4th Republic, Madam Nana Konadu Ageyman Rawlings. As we mourn this loss, I can't help but to take note of how 2025 has been a year punctuated with transitions of many of Ghana's cultural icons as well as civic leaders--all passionate about not only their crafts but forward movement, Ghana's progress. I invited my guest this week to join me in conversation particularly because of way that her craft, her passion and her lineage converge in a story that is and will continue to make an impact on arts, culture and economic development in Ghana and beyond. Ghanaian- American, Aretha Amma Sarfo-Kantanka is an accomplished global branding professional who has been instrumental in driving retail sales via innovative retail marketing and branding campaigns juxtaposing the fashion and music industry.

Welcome back to Bringin' It Backwards, the podcast where rising and legendary artists share their real stories and spill the secrets behind their journeys to stardom. In this episode, Adam welcomes back singer-songwriter Cate Turner for an unprecedented fourth appearance—making her the reigning record holder for most visits to the show! Cate first joined us in 2021, and since then, her story has been anything but stagnant. We pick right up where we left off, diving into the whirlwind of the last few years: the release of her two-part EP, the deeply personal aftermath of losing her father, her transition from a major label to full independence, and how all of that shaped her music and identity as an artist. With Cate's signature honesty and humor, she talks about the reality of leaving Atlantic Records—what it means to no longer have the safety net (and, yes, the “Amex-wielding father” label experience), and the freeing but terrifying process of steering her own ship. Cate opens up about finding her confidence as an independent artist, the strategy behind splitting her album into two EPs, and the challenges of writing and releasing music after such a loss. We get into the nitty gritty—how she decided which songs went where, the vulnerable themes in tracks like “I Might,” and why fan connection at live shows means more than any streaming statistic. Cate also shares her no-nonsense advice for aspiring artists: get out of your own head and trust yourself, even when everything feels uncertain. If you're an independent musician, someone who's gone through loss, or just a fan of Cate's refreshingly self-aware songwriting, you won't want to miss this conversation. So, tune in, hear Cate drop some real talk, and let her story inspire your own journey.

On this episode of Bringin' it Backwards, Adam and Tera Lisicky take you backstage with Chri$tian as he shares how a childhood surrounded by music transformed into a songwriting obsession, and why building drama in school actually helped get his music heard. Chri$tian gets real about creating viral moments on TikTok, the keys to turning fleeting attention into loyal fans, and the relentless hustle behind breakthrough hits like “Numb” and his remix of “Overwhelmed.” He opens up about navigating the business side of things—including the tough lessons learned from early label deals—and what it means to own your artistry as an independent musician. Listen in for the story behind his upcoming debut album “No Strings Attached,” why he's always chasing growth, and the advice he'd give anyone who wants to make it in music: use YouTube, surround yourself with people who push you, and make music that means something to you first.

Los Angeles-based engineer, producer, and writer who has worked with top companies such as Atlantic Records, Sony Music, Interscope, and Spotify, as well as household names such as John Mayer and Gwen Stefani. She has done everything from play drums as she approached her teen years to, more recently, giveaways, raffles, seminars/workshops, and live stream reviews, and even sold her sound kits, and offer her services to help set up home studios, and she even offers remote video consultations.

John is joined by Hayley Williams and producer Daniel James to discuss how they wrote and recorded the album ‘Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party'.  Hayley Williams is an American pop-punk and rock musician. She began writing songs in her early teens, signing a deal with Atlantic Records at just 15 years old. The label wanted her to be a solo artist, but Hayley had other ideas, instead forming the band Paramore with three school friends. Paramore released their first album ‘All We Know Is Falling' when Hayley was still only 16. They quickly built a loyal fanbase as audiences resonated with the energy and passion in their music. The band went on to release five more albums and win numerous awards including three Grammys. In 2020 Hayley released her first, highly acclaimed solo album ‘Petals for Armor'. Sophomore album ‘FLOWERS for VASES/descansos' followed in 2021 to further critical praise. ‘Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party', released in August this year on Hayley's own label Post Atlantic, is her third collaboration with musician, producer and longtime friend Daniel James. In this episode, Hayley and Daniel sit down with John at Platoon Studios to discuss how it felt setting out to record songs without an album in mind, how writing solo music differs from writing for Paramore for Hayley, the record's diverse influences, the vocal recording techniques they used and much more.  Tracks discussed: Kill Me, Love Me Different, Parachute TAPE IT Thanks to our friends at Tape It for supporting the podcast.

As teenagers, The Wolf & Action Jackson dreamed of seeing Led Zeppelin live. However, the boys came of age in the 1980s after the band had broken up following the death of John Bonham. They were forced to live with ill-fated one-off reunions like Live Aid, Atlantic Records 40th and Knebworth. While they jumped at the chance to see Page/Plant in the mid-90s doing reworked versions of Zeppelin classics, they knew it would never be the same as a proper Led Zeppelin concert back in the day. On this 27th edition of First Concert Memories, the monthly sidecast from the hosts of The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast, the boys are psyched to speak with Tony Michaelides. Tony had the rare privilege to see Led Zeppelin as a teenager in Manchester right before they blasted their way to superstardom. He tells the story of Robert Plant inviting him backstage to meet the rest of the guys in the band after the show and how having a signed Zeppelin poster made him the talk of the school yard that next week. However, this was actually just the beginning of Tony going backstage and interacting with artists as he would eventually have a 4 decade career in the music biz working with such luminaries as David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, Steve Winwood and more. Tony has gone on to write books about his experience in the industry and hosts a podcast, Moments That Rock, which share some of his amazing stories from over the years. We may not always be able to keep him on point but we do talk a bit about the show, Zeppelin's place in history and how the industry has changed over the years. A fun chat with a true rock veteran!

Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠Ignite the inferno of redemption as Analytic Dreamz unleashes a fiery reaction to the Hazbin Hotel Season 2 Official Trailer on Prime Video. Dropped October 1, 2025, this explosive two-minute showcase heralds the eight-episode sophomore run premiering October 29 with a double-drop, followed by weekly pairs through November 19. Creator Vivienne Medrano ramps up the chaos post-Season 1's angelic showdown: Charlie Morningstar (Erika Henningsen) rebuilds her Hazbin Hotel amid thriving sinner ranks, but overlord Vox (Christian Borle) schemes a media-fueled uprising against Heaven, rallying The Vees—Velvette (Lilli Cooper) and Valentino (Joel Perez)—to sabotage her demon rehab dream.Analytic Dreamz dissects the trailer's hellish highlights: Alastor's (Alex Brightman) shadowy manipulations from his Season 1 "death," Vaggie's (Stephanie Beatriz) fierce loyalty clashing with Lute's (Jessica Vosk) vengeful Exorcist return, and Angel Dust's (Blake Roman) raw vulnerability in Husk's (Keith David) reluctant rescues. Musical mayhem steals the spotlight with the debut single "Hazbin Guarantee (Trust Us)," a satirical banger teasing Broadway-caliber numbers from the full soundtrack—pre-order now via Atlantic Records—blending dark humor, explosive combat, and emotional fractures like Lucifer's (Jeremy Jordan) paternal strains and Sir Pentious' heavenly enigma. New voices amplify the ensemble: Patrick Stump as Abel, Darren Criss, and Shoba Narayan, expanding the Hellaverse ties to Helluva Boss.Does this trailer promise amplified stakes—Vox's power grab igniting Hell-Heaven war, deeper lore on Overlords and Exterminations—or risk diluting Charlie's optimistic core amid gore and gags? Analytic Dreamz probes fan theories on Alastor's survival, redemption arcs' viability, and if A24's animation elevates the musical satire beyond pilot hype. For Hazbin Hotel Season 2 trailer breakdowns, Prime Video animated series reactions, Vivienne Medrano updates, and adult musical analyses, this segment is your sinful essential.

There have been many, many dreadful times.'” – Danny GoldbergSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The New Orleans rock band Zebra has always existed out of time. Despite having one of the fastest selling debuts in Atlantic Records' history, Zebra never really fit in with the glammed up ‘80s metal bands they were being lumped in with on the pages and airwaves of Hit Parader and MTV. But that apparent inability to fit in may be exactly what endeared them to hordes of avid listeners who would wear out their bare bones cassette of ZEBRA and eventually go to Kmart and stealthily rip open a vinyl copy of the record to steal the lyric sheet so he could figure out what Randy Jackson was singing. Okay. We may be talking about Scott here. ANYWAY — this week we're thrilled to welcome Mr. Jackson to the podcast to talk about the 50th anniversary of Zebra, recording with Jack Douglas, being a rock band in New Orleans, being a rock band in Long Island, befriending Twisted Sister, touring with Cheap Trick, seeing The Beatles live, being forced to talk about Bon Jovi, and the lyrical prowess of the Moody Blues. And more black beans.
