What does it take to shift your path and find success in doing what truly lights you up on the inside? We are joined today by an amazing individual whose journey and dedication to pursuing meaningful work is something to be inspired by. Cole Cuchna is the host of Dissect, an incredibly well-received podcast aimed at countering our scrolling culture. A serialized music podcast where he examines a single album every season but doesn't merely discuss the musical arrangements of the songs in these albums, but talks about the history, the culture, the philosophy, and the storytelling done by the musicians as well as the impact of the times in which those songs were created. In our conversation with Cole today, we hear about his childhood and significant moments that impacted his path through life, his thoughts on the hard-work ideology taught to him by his parents, and what eventually led him to leave his band and the touring lifestyle. He shares how he faked his way into his music program, the debate that ensued post-graduation, and the story behind falling in love with coffee. We then dive into the birth of Dissect, and he walks us through his process of gathering insights and interpretations for each song on the album. Cole's story is relatable, and his journey is proof that you don't have to choose between following your passion and paying the bills. To hear why he believes Beethoven and the likes stood the test of time, don't miss out on this great episode.

On to this week’s episode. This time Cole Cuchna, host of the Dissect podcast, sat down with us. Dissect is one of the most popular podcasts out there today. In Cole’s words, “Dissect picks one album per season and analyzes one song per episode, measure by measure, word by word. Last year, Dissect got picked up by Spotify and Cole know makes a living off of creating the show, which puts him in an elite group of podcasters. But that was far from the case at the start of Dissect. Cole started the first season with Kendrick Lamar in his basement, while caring for a family, and working full time as the creative director of a coffee shop. He somehow managed to spend 20 hours on each episode to get it just right. 20 hours for the love of the podcast, on each episode, everything himself, and he had no idea how big this would become. I am a regular listener of the Dissect podcast and it was an honor to speak with Cole for over an hour. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is changing the culture. As someone who makes a living off of doing what he loves, Cole is someone that I look up to and I’m grateful that we had this conversation. I hope that this episode can add a little bit to your perspective and without further ado, here is our wide-ranging conversation with Cole Cuchna.

Comprehensive analysis. Two words that describe Cole Cuchna's extraordinary podcast, DISSECT, which dedicates a season to unpacking one album, one song (per episode) at a time. His subterranean exploration of Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is one of the reasons we were thrilled to have him join us to discuss Kanye West's 6th album, Yeezus. We covered Yeezy the persona vs. Kanye the person, problematic lyrics, ego reckoning, and the 2009 VMA's - a turning point in his career and a moment that will forever be a part of pop culture history. We also spent some time delving into the mindset of Yeezy, but full disclaimer: we taped this episode before Kanye's infamous twitter torrent and TMZ brouhaha.

In the words of our host, Rashan Ali: It’s not every day you get to sit down with a musical genius and I’m not referencing the two artists who Cole Cuchna dissects on his beautifully crafted podcast. I am directly speaking of the craftsmanship and intellect it takes to break down songs that to the regular ear simply sounds great. But after listening to the words and critical examination of Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West on The Dissect Podcast, I clearly understand their artistry and pure legend. I knew they were special, but hearing each song from two masterpieces like “To Pimp and Butterly” and “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,” I gained an understanding of how truly gifted these two are. It takes someone who has a real passion for musicianship and art to assist us in grasping the enormity that lies in such brilliance. Cole Cuchna masters this profound research like your favorite history book with each song having its own chapter. I have always been enamored of great writers and Cole’s work is to be admired. Perhaps it takes a genius to understand another. Add Cole Cuchna to the list of the brilliant music, life and lyrics of the people he DISSECTS. Social Media:Tw: dissectpodcast IG: @dissectpodcast
