2025 NYE Lollapalooza Episode 20: The Impact This Series Has MadeEpisode 20 serves as the reflection point of the 2025 NYE Lollapalooza, a moment to pause, look back, and name the impact this series has already had.In this episode, Jay Doran discusses why the Lollapalooza exists in the first place, how it has evolved year over year, and what happens when long-form, values-driven conversations are given space to breathe. Rather than recapping individual episodes, Jay focuses on the resonance; the emails, messages, and conversations sparked by the series.A significant part of that reflection includes the influence and example set by Patrick Bet-David, whose approach to dialogue, conviction, and unapologetic truth-telling is referenced throughout the episode. Jay shares how that standard saying the thing that needs to be said, even when it's uncomfortable has shaped the tone, courage, and clarity of the Lollapalooza conversations.This episode explores:Why people are craving depth over soundbitesHow honest conversation creates ripple effects beyond downloadsThe responsibility that comes with having a platformAnd why impact is measured not in virality, but in alignment, action, and changeEpisode 20 isn't a victory lap it's a reckoning. A reminder that when conversations are rooted in purpose, faith, discipline, and truth, they don't just fill time they move people.This episode closes the loop on the 2025 NYE Lollapalooza and sets the standard for what comes next.If this series challenged you, encouraged you, or helped you think differently — this episode explains why.Share it with someone who values substance over noise, and leave a review to help keep these conversations alive.

Jay Doran's Word for 2026: LOVEIn Episode 19, Jay Doran closes the NYE Lollapalooza series by sharing his personal word for 2026: LOVE — and redefining it far beyond how the word is commonly used.This episode is not about romance alone, and it's not about sentiment. It's about love as a discipline, a standard, and a responsibility.Jay breaks down what love actually looks like when it's lived out:In partnership In leadership and workIn friendship, boundaries, and commitmentIn the way we choose to show up for people — even when it's uncomfortableHe challenges the idea that love is passive or conditional, and instead frames it as something that requires intention, courage, presence, and consistency. Love, as Jay describes it, is not weakness — it is alignment. It is choosing truth over ego, service over control, and depth over convenience.This episode serves as a personal declaration and a compass for the year ahead — not just for Jay, but for anyone listening who wants to live with greater clarity, integrity, and connection in 2026.If you've ever felt that the word love has been diluted or misunderstood, this conversation restores its weight — and its meaning.This is the final chapter of the NYE Lollapalooza.And it's an invitation to live the year ahead differently.Share this episode with someone who's ready to lead — and love — at a higher standard.

In Episode 18, Jay Doran and Jenna Silverman step back and reflect on the full scope of the NYE Lollapalooza — a day-long series of conversations designed to help people close one year with intention and step into the next with clarity.Jenna, who joined as co-host for the final stretch of the day, brings a fresh lens to the recap as they unpack the patterns, themes, and through-lines that emerged across the episodes. Together, they discuss the recurring words, shared struggles, and common realizations voiced by leaders from different industries — and what those overlaps say about where people actually are heading into 2026.This episode isn't about revisiting every conversation — it's about zooming out. Jay and Jenna talk about:The dominant ideas that kept resurfacing across guestsWhy certain words and themes appeared again and againWhat surprised them most after hearing so many perspectives back-to-backAnd how the collective tone of the day reflects a deeper shift in leadership, faith, identity, and responsibilityEpisode 18 serves as the bookend to the Lollapalooza — a grounded, thoughtful recap meant to help listeners make sense of what they heard and decide what they want to carry forward into the new year.If you listened to even one episode from the day, this conversation helps connect the dots. And if you listened to many, it brings the meaning into focus.As always, share this episode with someone who needs perspective heading into the year ahead — and leave a review to help us continue building conversations that matter.

Welcome to the second annual Seeing Them Live Year End Concert Review show, where a panel of returning guests shares their favorite live music experiences from 2025. Host Charles brings together an eclectic group of music enthusiasts including award-winning documentary filmmaker Eric Green, podcast host Jessica Catena, nurse practitioner Summer, antique shop owner Art Gregg, executive assistant Dawn Fontaine, accountant Steve Pothel, high school teacher Andy, and producer Doug Flozak to discuss the concerts that defined their year.Eric Green kicks off the discussion with an impressive lineup that showcased both legendary side projects and emerging talent. His year began with Close Enemies featuring Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton at City Winery Boston, followed by Kim Deal's solo tour at the Wilbur Theater. He caught Benmont Tench of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers fame doing an intimate VH1 Storytellers-style performance, and witnessed Shane Hawkins honoring his late father Taylor Hawkins with Chevy Metal at Brighton Music Hall. Eric also saw the Joe Perry Project's supergroup lineup featuring Chris Robinson and Robert DeLeo, enjoyed a nostalgic double bill of Billy Idol and Joan Jett at the Xfinity Center, caught the rising stars Wet Leg at a packed Roadrunner Boston show, experienced Jeff Tweedy's multigenerational band at Royale, and closed out his year with Throwing Muses at the new Racket venue in New York City.Jessica Catena attended three memorable indoor concerts that kept her dry after previous years of rain-soaked shows. She saw young jazz sensation Samara Joy at the newly renovated Ridgefield Playhouse in Connecticut with her uncle, experienced the Broadway spectacle of Moulin Rouge featuring Wayne Brady and Taye Diggs with updated contemporary songs, and capped off her year at iHeartRadio's Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden, where she saw Ed Sheeran, Laufey, and a diverse lineup of pop and folk artists while dealing with some challenging sightlines.Summer's concert year included the intimate Metro show with Bridget Calls Me Baby where her son met the bass player's parents, a record-breaking night at Lollapalooza featuring Olivia Rodrigo's surprise Weezer collaboration, an energetic Yungblud performance at the Riviera that included some crowd drama, and a unique operatic interpretation of Smashing Pumpkins' Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness at the Lyric Opera of Chicago during a snowstorm.Art Gregg had a remarkable year highlighted by three unforgettable shows. He saw childhood hero Burton Cummings of The Guess Who at the North Shore Center for Performing Arts after accidentally meeting him in the lobby without recognizing him, caught Michael Schenker's 50 Years with UFO celebration at the Desplaines Theater, and scored a last-minute ninth-row ticket to see Robert Plant at the intimate Vic Theatre, where the Led Zeppelin legend performed six classic songs including an electrifying version of Ramble On that earned a rare standing ovation.Charles rounds out the discussion by mentioning his own concert experiences at new Chicago venues including Space in Evanston where he saw Mdou Moctar and The Old 97s, the female-focused Motoblot festival at Beat Kitchen, an incredible Buddy Guy performance at the Rialto Square Theater where the 89-year-old blues legend walked through the aisles playing guitar, shows at the new Garcia's venue and City Winery, and his anticipation for an upcoming Iron Maiden show. The episode concludes with a teaser for part two, which will feature Dawn's private jet experience with the Rolling Stones, Andy's Bonnaroo adventure, and Steve's concert highlights.BANDS: Aerosmith, Alex Warren, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Belly, Benmont Tench, Billy Idol, Black Crows, Black Sabbath, Bob Dylan, Bridget Calls Me Baby, Burton Cummings, Chapel Rowan, Chevy Metal, Close Enemies, DJO, Dogs in a Pile, Ed Sheeran, Elastica, Elastica, Elvis, Foo Fighters, Foghat, Foster the People, Gary Newman, Generation X, Gigi Perez, Guns N Roses, Iron Maiden, Jeff Tweedy, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Joe Perry Project, Johnny Cash, K-pop band Monsta X, Katy Perry, Kim Deal, King Gizzard, Laufey, Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin 2, Liz Fair, Mdou Moctar, Metallica, Michael Shanker, Miles Smith, Ministry, Neil Young, Nelly, Nine Inch Nails, Olivia Rodrigo, Ozzy Osborne, Pixies, Psychedelic Furs, Radiohead, Robert Plant, Rolling Stones, Runaways, Samara Joy, Sarah Larson, Shonen Knife, Smashing Pumpkins, Soraia, Stone Temple Pilots, Taylor Hawkins, The Babies, The Beatles, The Black Crows, The Boudines, The Breeders, The Guess Who, The Old 97s, The Police, The Scorpions, The Velvet Underground, Throwing Muses, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, UFO, Van Halen, Walk the Moon, Wayne Brady, Weezer, Wet Leg, Wilco, Wrought Iron Soul, Yungblud.VENUES: Aragon Ballroom, Barclays, Beat Kitchen, Box Center Wang Theater (Boston), Brighton Music Hall (Boston), City Winery (Boston), City Winery (Chicago), Credit Union One Amphitheater, Desplaines Theater, Garcia's, Grant Park, Great Woods (Xfinity Center in Mansfield, Massachusetts), House of Blues, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Madison Square Garden, Metro, North Shore Center for Performing Arts (Skokie, Illinois), Penn Station, Racket (New York City/Chelsea), Ravinia, Rialto Square Theater, Ridgefield Playhouse, Riviera, Roadrunner Boston, Royale (Boston), Salt Shed (Chicago), Sonia (Cambridge, Massachusetts), Space (Evanston, Illinois), Thalia Hall, Tweeter Center, Vic Theatre (Chicago), Wilbur Theater (Boston), Wrigley Field, Xfinity Center (Mansfield, Massachusetts).

Episode 17 closes out the NYE Lollapalooza with a conversation that feels like a final reset before the calendar turns — not just on goals, but on identity, leadership, and what actually drives people to change.Jay Doran is joined by Jenna Silverman, Bill Reiman, Glenn Llopis, and Mark Perkins for a New Year's Eve roundtable on the words that shaped 2025 and the words they're carrying into 2026.Jay shares his evolution from last year's theme — “life can only be understood backwards, but must be lived forwards”— into a deeper truth: life isn't a problem to solve, it's a reality to experience. His word shifts from intensity to love, setting the tone for a conversation that's both grounded and honest.From there, the room opens up:Jenna reflects on her shift from faith into surrender — and why surrender isn't weakness, it's alignment.Bill shares that his word for 2026 is faith, and talks through what it looks like to shut out noise, stop letting fear lead, and build life and business from a deeper foundation.Glenn brings the edge with a powerful framework: reinvention (2025) → conviction (2026). He challenges the idea that success is the same as health, and unpacks why so many leaders are exhausted — not from hard work, but from performing instead of truly executing as themselves.Mark anchors the conversation with a simple but relentless word: go — the compounding power of doing business the right way for years, staying decisive without perfect certainty, and continuing to move even when plans break.The group digs into the tension leaders feel every day: how to see potential clearly, how to lead people without carrying them, and how to commit to growth without sacrificing the things that actually matter.This one is a strong finish to the Lollapalooza: deep, real, and full of practical truth you can carry into 2026.If this episode hit home, share it with someone who needs it — and leave a review so we can keep reinvesting back into you.

Episode 16 of the NYE Lollapalooza is one of the most grounded, emotional, and necessary conversations of the entire day.Jay Doran is joined by Jenna Silverman, Bill Reiman, Jonathon Haddad, and Joe Silva for a raw discussion on the words that shaped 2025—and the ones guiding 2026.What begins as a simple reflection on annual themes quickly evolves into something deeper: fatherhood, responsibility, faith, emotional regulation, and perspective. The group wrestles with what it truly means to lead—not just businesses, but families, communities, and themselves.You'll hear:Why consistency without faith lacks purposeHow strength becomes a blessing when responsibility is embracedWhy balance is not 50/50—but situational awarenessHow perspective is forged through sacrifice, time, and choiceWhat it means to raise children in a world that often avoids discipline, honor, and accountabilityThe conversation moves through personal stories of parenting, marriage, mental health, addiction, recovery, leadership pressure, and cultural erosion—without posturing or performance. It's honest. It's emotional. And at times, it's heavy in the best way.A standout moment includes a reading of Rudyard Kipling's If, used as a lens to discuss masculinity, discipline, and the responsibility to protect—not dominate—the village.This episode isn't about resolutions.It's about choices.It's about keeping the main thing the main thing.And it's about understanding that life doesn't give perspective gently—it teaches it through experience.If you're stepping into 2026 as a leader, a parent, or someone trying to become steadier in a chaotic world—this conversation will stay with you.

Episode 15 is a different kind of New Year's Eve conversation—less “resolution energy,” more real life, real leadership, real presence.Jay Doran and Jenna Silverman sit down with Michael Allosso and Joseph Iredell during the 2025 Lollapalooza to unpack the theme:“Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.”From the jump, it's personal—Mike Calhoun has officially tapped out after an all-day hosting marathon, and Jenna steps in to co-lead the room. What follows is a layered discussion about the words that shaped 2025 and the words driving 2026:Michael Allosso (2025): Seen & Heard — the ache of invisibility, and the power of making people feel visible.Michael (2026): Intensity — no more passive interactions; every moment becomes an event, with real stakes.Joseph Iredell: moves from Understanding into Dominance for 2026—less introspection, more execution, and refusing to “play defense” after momentum is built.Jenna: reflects on Faith in 2025 and anchors 2026 in Surrender—letting go of forced outcomes while staying disciplined about clarity, communication, and aligned action.The episode also hits a few Culture Matters gold veins: casting vs. hiring, why leaders misplace people into roles that drain them, and why “stakes” change everything—your tone, your preparation, your presence, and the way people remember you.They close by wrestling with a big question: How do you teach values in a way that's engaging—lived, not lectured?The answer keeps circling back to the same truth: values become real when they show up inside conversations, decisions, and the way we treat people when no one's watching.If you're heading into 2026 craving more presence, more purpose, and fewer forced outcomes—this one will land.

Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz delivers a detailed analytical breakdown of Luke Combs' heartfelt focus track “Sleepless In a Hotel Room,” released January 7, 2026, via Sony Music Nashville—the emotional lead-in to his sixth studio album The Way I Am, arriving March 20, 2026.Co-written by Combs, Randy Montana, and Jonathan Singleton, the song originated over six years ago while Combs missed his wife Nicole Hocking (pre-marriage). The demo stayed largely unchanged, capturing raw longing and emotional distance on the road—interpretable as love/absence or post-breakup yearning, with ambiguous references to “our bedroom.” Produced by Combs, Singleton, and Chip Matthews, it explores the dual realities of home life versus touring life across the 22-track album, alongside prior releases like “My Kinda Saturday Night,” “Days Like These,” “15 Minutes,” “Giving Her Away,” and the No. 1 “Back in the Saddle” (his 19th career No. 1 on Billboard Country Airplay, extending his record streak).Combs holds historic milestones: first country artist to headline Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Newport Folk, and New Orleans JazzFest; four Diamond-certified singles (RIAA record); two songs over 1 billion Spotify streams; highest RIAA-certified country artist ever (168 million units); and most consecutive No. 1s at country radio. Fathers & Sons (2024) peaked No. 2 on Top Country Albums, maintaining his streak of top-2 debuts.The My Kinda Saturday Night Tour launches March 21, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium (Las Vegas), with U.S. finale May 16 at Lambeau Field (Green Bay), plus international legs including three nights at Wembley Stadium (London), two at Scottish Gas Murrayfield (Edinburgh), two at Slane Castle (Ireland), and stops at Notre Dame Stadium, Neyland Stadium, Ohio Stadium, and more across Canada and Europe—many sold-out.With his third child expected winter 2026, this introspective release builds on Fathers & Sons' family focus. Analytic Dreamz examines how “Sleepless In a Hotel Room” serves as a long-gestating fan favorite, thematic gateway to the album's personal narratives, and aligns with Combs' genre-transcending dominance—blending intimate storytelling with stadium-scale reach amid massive streaming, radio, and touring momentum.Join Analytic Dreamz for this no-fluff, data-driven deep dive into one of country music's biggest 2026 setups.

Episode 14 of the New Year's Eve Lollapalooza gets loud—in the best way.Jay Doran and co-host Mike Calhoun are joined by Brad Lea, Jenna Silverman, Anthony Mirarchi, Benny Fisher, and Fobby Naghmi for a rapid-fire, high-trust conversation about the words that will define 2026—and the decisions that will shape everything that follows.The theme that keeps surfacing: you don't change your life by wanting it… you change your life by choosing it.Here's what each guest is carrying into 2026:Jay: Love (after Intensity) — bringing people together, leading with courage, and reclaiming parts of himself he shelved along the way.Jenna: Surrender (after Faith) — releasing forced outcomes, tightening clarity and communication, and building Culture Matters with alignment and trust.Benny: Stewardship — honoring what he's already been entrusted with, shifting from builder to caretaker, and going deeper with fewer relationships.Fobby: Certainty — and the story behind it: how one question from Brad unlocked a decade of weight and redirected his trajectory.Anthony: Enriched / Enriching — getting uncomfortable again, creating new products in commercial insurance, and thinking roll-ups, M&A, and bigger plays.Brad: starts with Unrecognizable… then evolves it into Choice — because free will is the overlooked superpower and better decisions compound into better lives.There are also practical gems throughout: create and publish daily, don't “make the content content,” stop negotiating with fear, and build real momentum through consistent revenue-generating action.If you're stepping into 2026 hungry for a reset—this episode is a jolt of clarity.

After receiving his first guitar at age 10, a determined Michael became self-taught with the help of his bedroom radio, spending days on end playing along with Jimi Hendrix, Wes Montgomery and B.B. King records. After studying jazz guitar in high school, an impromptu backstage audition for George Clinton in 1974 earned 17-year-old Michael a seat on the Parliament mothership alongside the immortal Eddie Hazel, under the name “Kidd Funkadelic”. Hampton has spent the past half-century playing nearly 400 shows with the band, in 25 countries across 6 continents. Highlights include multiple appearances at world-renowned festivals like Montreux Jazz, Glastonbury, Reading, Woodstock '99, Coachella, Bonnaroo, Roskilde, Lollapalooza, Fuji Rock, and Isle of Wight, and venues like the Apollo Theater, The Fillmore, Royal Albert Hall, Madison Square Garden, The Troubadour, Red Rocks, The Beacon, and Sydney Opera House. Among Hampton's Funkadelic writing credits are group staples like “Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?!” and “Funk Gets Stronger”, both released during the group's late- '70s/early-'80s hit run. His lead guitar is also embedded in the DNA of 90s hip-hop's G- Funk movement—Dr. Dre's “Let Me Ride” samples Parliament's “Mothership Connection”, Ice Cube's “Bop Gun” borrows elements of Funkadelic's “One Nation Under a Groove”, while De La Soul's “Me Myself and I”, Digital Underground's “Kiss You Back”, and Snoop Dogg's “What's My Name?” all draw from Funkadelic's “(Not Just) Knee Deep”. Michael's colleagues include George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, Maceo Parker, Charlie Wilson, Dewayne “Blackbyrd” McKnight, Fred Wesley & The JB's, Chuck Treece, Dean Ween, Primal Scream, Digital Underground, Too $hort, and Deee-Lite. Michael's contributions to the Parliament Funkadelic catalog have also influenced famed artists like Prince, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Outkast, D'Angelo and Janelle Monáe, among many others. As of 2025, Michael has appeared on over 30 separate major label releases. Though best known for his role in the funk guitar pantheon, Hampton is also an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, with drums, keys, and synth programming credits across the Parliament discography.

Episode 13 of the New Year's Eve Lollapalooza is one of the most personal—and most powerful—conversations of the day.Jay Doran and co-host Mike Calhoun are joined by Jenna Silverman, Tom Bove, Hector Sanchez, Glenn Campbell, and David Yerkes for a roundtable on the words shaping their year, the lessons they're carrying forward, and what it really looks like to grow without gripping life so tightly.The words set the tone immediately:Jenna: Surrender (after last year's Faith) — letting go of forced outcomes and building Culture Matters with trust, clarity, and alignment.David Yerkes: Breakthrough (after Perseverance) — after a remarkable final quarter of 2025, stepping into a new season with momentum already in motion.Hector: Momentum (after Foundation) — building something real and now pressing forward through leadership and operational consulting.Tom: Investing — investing in himself, his relationships, and presence after a year that tested him deeply.Glenn: Listening — learning to listen to understand, not to fix; becoming the kind of man people feel safe with.From there, Jay shares the heart behind why believes “love” requires risk—bringing the right people together, even when the instinct is to protect by keeping distance. Mike closes with his word, Different, and challenges everyone heading into 2026 to stop repeating what worked before and start evolving on purpose.You'll also hear quick snapshots of what each guest is building—leadership consulting, a growing e-commerce headwear company, technology consulting, and longevity/performance medicine—and how faith, discipline, and daily action are the throughline.If you're stepping into 2026 needing a reset in mindset, relationships, or leadership—this episode is for you.

Episode 12 of the New Year's Eve Lollapalooza is a masterclass in what actually scales: preparation, consistency, and focus — with zero fluff.Jay Doran and co-host Mike Calhoun are joined by Armand Pinoci, Aaron Scott Young, Michele Schina, Nick Lampone, Yuri Mitchell, and Nathan Knottingham for a fast-moving roundtable on their words for 2026, the lessons they're taking from 2025, and the real priorities that will shape the year ahead.The words set the tone:Nathan: Preparedness (after last year's Flexibility) — staying ready for the known and unknown without losing peace.Nick: Reputation — because “it's not what people shout, it's what they whisper,” and in finance, trust is everything.Michele: Mastery — sharpening the fundamentals, becoming a better leader, coach, and teacher through the numbers.Aaron: Momentum — shedding the distractions, doubling down on what's boring, profitable, and scalable.Yuri: Consistency — building structure at home and at work, especially with a new baby and new responsibilities.Armand: Stability — year seven in business, a new house, and the commitment to keep the foundation strong.Mike: Different — because growth requires a new approach, not just more effort.From there, the conversation turns into pure value: how to scale by staying in your lane, why “rejection is protection,” what consistency looks like over six years of showing up, and why patience is often the hidden ingredient behind real stability.If you're heading into 2026 wanting a clearer focus and a stronger foundation — this is your episode.

Today's guest may be one of the most interesting humans on the planet. Whether it's doing 250 shows in a year, training with monks, not staying in one city for more than four days over a year and a half, exploring the world, or being a true pioneer in his music space — Chris Emerson, aka WHAT SO NOT, has done it all! What So Not is an Australian DJ and producer. He has just released a brand new collaborative EP The Quiet That Hurts with visionary Dutch artist Buunshin. Previously releasing their single Threads and a luminous new single Dancing In The Leaves featuring Lucy Lucy.   Emerging in the 2010s, What So Not has evolved into an in-demand artist across the globe, renowned for his innovation and signature style that blends bass, trap and melodic hues into a unique and unforgettable package. Releasing his debut album Not All the Beautiful Things in 2018, What So Not resoundingly showcased his versatility and revolutionary prowess, with tracks like Be OK Again featuring Daniel Johns and Goh featuring Skrillex building formidable momentum that would ultimately lead to a 2022 sophomore album Anomaly. A genre-less and relentlessly experimental artist, What So Not has spent his career collaborating with the likes of Skrillex, RL Grime, Killer Mike and Toto, with his releases and potent live performance effortlessly translating over to the stage including at Coachella and Lollapalooza, headline shows in Europe, North America as well as on home soil, and also cultivating over 1.3 billion streams and counting worldwide in the process.  Opening with Threads featuring renowned American singer-songwriter and composer Maiah Manser, The Quiet That Hurts EP is undeniably a short yet sharply sweet full-bodied journey in avant-garde sounds and blissful delivery, with the EP growing from its opening track into quiet rumination and lush, ambient urgency via Tragic, featuring Ukrainian singer vocalist Alina Pash, pulsing with emotion alongside a high-octane foundation. From here, the EP dives into a hypnotic yet propulsive flow state (Dancing In The Leaves feat. Lucy Lucy), before oozing into bewitching melodics balanced between moments of instrumental sparsity and animated drum and bass (The One feat. Aiko), and, ultimately, closing out with sprawling soundscapes fused with narcotic beats and unbridled serenity juxtaposed against emphatic and raw lyricism delivered by Mara Necia.  Dancing In The Leaves is out now! The Quiet That Hurts EP is out now! What So Not is also touring America and Canada soon, check it out!

Episode 11 of the New Year's Eve Lollapalooza is a brotherhood conversation — the kind that doesn't posture, doesn't perform, and doesn't pretend.Jay Doran and co-host Mike Calhoun are joined by Eddy Perez Jr., Brett Grossman, John New, and Darwin Roman to talk words for 2026, the cost of leadership, and what it really looks like to keep showing up when life gets heavy.The words on the table set the tone fast:Darwin: Value — not just what you bring to others, but what you require for yourself (boundaries included).Eddy: Atonement — owning the moments you knew better and didn't listen to yourself.Brett: Self-Actualization — becoming the man you're capable of being, day by day.Mike: Different (and last year: Jubilee) — reset, rethink, and stop doing what no longer serves the mission.Jay: last year Intensity, this year Love — life isn't a problem to solve, it's a reality to experience.From there, the conversation turns real: building your “team” in relationships (assets vs. liabilities), why men often don't make the call when they're struggling, the pressure of being the one who always “handles it,” and the second-half adjustments that actually win championships — in business, fatherhood, and life.John New shares a powerful win: getting through years of divorce dynamics and choosing to “win with love” for his kids. Eddy opens up about identity, leadership, and why atonement starts with accountability. Brett talks honestly about weathering a financial storm and the quiet danger of carrying everything alone. Darwin brings it home with the hard lesson: if you don't respect your own value, you'll pay for it.If you're a man carrying pressure in silence — or you love someone who is — share this episode with a brother.

Episode 10 of the New Year's Eve Lollapalooza feels like a collective “second wind” — the kind you get when a conversation becomes less about performance and more about presence.Jay Doran and co-host Mike Calhoun are joined by Morgan DeNicola, Ruth Lee, David Levine, and John Duffin for a deeply human dialogue centered on the words each person is carrying into 2026:Morgan: LeadershipRuth: Amity (agreement without avoidance — the ability to stay clear without becoming hard)David: Coherent (alignment, resonance, and living in a way that matches what you say you value)John: Expeditious (speed + urgency — refusing to squander the moment)John opens with urgency and intentional thinking — including the decision to step away from social media when it's engineered for outrage instead of clarity. Ruth expands the room with Amity, reframing “agreement” as a skill: holding strong views without needing to fight, and moving from reaction to choice in high-stakes environments.Morgan shares how a year of pivoting turned into a clearer call to step fully into leadership — not from ego, but from responsibility. And David brings the future into the present: after decades as a technology entrepreneur, he's preparing to launch an AI-driven platform designed to make wisdom more accessible — capturing the “blueprints” of mentors, coaches, and leaders so more people can benefit between live sessions and high-ticket containers. (Launch shared in the conversation: February 20, at Conscious Life Expo in LA.)This episode is a reminder that the next year doesn't need a thousand goals. Sometimes it needs one word that tells the truth.If someone in your life feels scattered, reactive, or stuck — share this episode. And if this conversation sparked something in you, leave a review so it reaches the people who need it most.

Episode 9 of the New Year's Eve Lollapalooza is one of those conversations that doesn't stay in “business talk.” It goes straight into what leadership actually costs—and what it gives back—when you're building companies while trying to build a life you're proud of.Jay Doran and co-host Mike Calhoun are joined by Steve Wilmer, Carl Eppolito, Pete Fournier, and Chris Tighe for a roundtable that blends family, faith, discipline, and execution—without the highlight reel.Carl Eppolito opens with a story that hits hard: the moment you realize you've already spent two-thirds of your lifetime time with your child before they even turn 13. As a single dad, he shares why stepping away from a high-travel corporate path wasn't a sacrifice—it was a decision to stop missing his life. His word for 2026: Accountability, and it's as much about health and habits as it is about being present for his daughters.Pete Fournier, founder of All Things Insurance Group, brings the operator perspective: growth is great, but growth without systems creates a business that owns you. Coming off a year of expansion and trimming dead weight, his focus is simple: Efficiency—stop stepping over dollars to pick up dimes, and start building leverage like a real CEO.Steve Wilmer delivers a lesson most founders learn the hard way: putting your head down and “accelerating” doesn't matter if you're not paying attention to where you're actually going. After a year that looked busy but paid less, his word for 2026 is Focus—moving from the red ocean to the blue ocean with higher-value accountability and fewer, better clients.And Chris Tighe ties it all together with a builder's mindset—military background, hard-earned business growth, and the humility to admit the real battlefield is internal. After a year of persistence through adversity, his word for 2026 is Growth—in fatherhood, relationships, leadership, generosity, and the systems that will carry his company forward.This episode is a reminder: your next level isn't only about revenue. It's about the standards you keep, the people you choose, and the discipline to build what matters—on purpose.Share this episode with someone who's trying to grow without burning out—and leave a review so these conversations reach more leaders who need them.

Episode 8 of the New Year's Eve Lollapalooza is a fast-moving mix of real talk, hard lessons, and the kind of “in-the-trenches” clarity you only get when builders stop pretending everything is polished.Jay Doran and co-host Mike Calhoun are joined by Vinnie Candelore Jr., Jeff Winnick, Jake Penny, Kayvon Kay, and returning guest Demetri Stakias for a conversation centered on two themes: what 2025 demanded from you, and what 2026 is requiring of you.Here's what makes this episode hit:Jake Penny breaks down a mission-driven approach to “Main Street investing” through Wealth Without Wall Street—teaching people how to move retirement dollars into cash-flowing real estate with real social impact. He shares the reality of scaling a portfolio (134 properties in four years), the pressure of a changing capital market, and the word that carried him: Persevere.Vinnie Candelore Jr. speaks like someone who finally woke up to what entrepreneurship actually is. Art may get you in the room—but relationships, systems, and execution keep you there. His word for the year: Awake. And his story is a live look at what it means to build something for your family while still learning the game in real time.Kayvon Kay brings the edge and the honesty. He talks about the founder being the bottleneck, the necessity of surrender for real growth, and what it looks like to come out of a year where the goal was simply to exist—and still end up with massive momentum. His takeaway lands hard: you don't get growth without surrender.Jeff Winnick shares “mortgage miracles” from a small team producing big results—and then gets pushed (in the best way) to define what “better” really means in 2026. The answer becomes clear: more leverage, stronger delegation, and improving as a human first.And through it all, Jay and Mike keep coming back to the point of the Lollapalooza itself: connection. The people in your world matter. The way you show up matters. And leadership isn't just output—it's care.If you're building through a pivot, a reset, or a reinvention… this episode will feel like a mirror and a push.Share this episode with someone who needs a wake-up call—and leave a review so we can keep bringing conversations like this to more people.

Episode 7 of the New Year's Eve Lollapalooza is part coaching session, part brotherhood, and part wake-up call—because this crew doesn't just talk about growth… they talk about the cost of growth.Jay Doran and co-host Mike “Mike Drop” Calhoun are joined by Alex Rawdin, Jeff Silva, Ken Jordan, and Demetri Stakias for a fast-moving roundtable that turns into something deeper: identity, resilience, and what it takes to rebuild when the punches don't stop.You'll hear each guest anchor 2026 with a single word:Jeff Silva lands on Consistency—rebuilding in a new market, owning the fall-apart seasons, and remembering that you don't “find” momentum… you earn it.Alex Rawdin sharpens his initial instinct of “action” into what really matters: Execution—being effective, not just busy, while raising three young kids and helping lead a multi-decade family advisory firm.Demetri Stakias brings the most vulnerable turn: moving from last year's word Unstoppable to this year's word Love—after being forged by adversity that most people only hear about in headlines.Ken Jordan declares Transformation, and then opens up about the hardest part of leadership: rebuilding confidence after the difficult decisions of 2022–2023, learning the difference between empathy and compassion, and getting ready to recruit and lead again without fear writing the script.Then the episode pivots—hard—into one of the most practical moments of the entire Lollapalooza: go live.Mike lays out a conviction that feels like a challenge: if you do nothing different in 2026 except schedule consistent live conversations (YouTube, LinkedIn, anywhere), you'll spend the year building trust, proximity, and pipeline—for free. Not performative. Not perfect. Just real, consistent, and present.This episode is for the leader who's been carrying it alone… and is ready to get back into rooms that make them better.If you're stepping into 2026 with a word, a mission, or a rebuild—this one will hit.

Episode 6 of the New Year's Eve Lollapalooza is a collision of high standards and real humanity—where big goals meet even bigger intention.Jay Doran and co-host Mike “Mike Drop” Calhoun welcome a powerhouse lineup: Chris Vester, Maria Quattrone, Alan Whitman, Mike Modica, Matt McHale, with Jim Sabellico jumping in briefly to give flowers where they're due.This episode moves fast—but it lands deep.You'll hear Maria Quattrone share her 2026 word—Fearless—and the launch of her coaching and course work, including the Listing Boss 90-Day Listing Accelerator. She reflects on how consistency and community carried leaders through the unexpected, and later drops a rapid-fire “top lessons of 2025” that hits like a leadership manifesto: clarity, boundaries, momentum on boring days, and why rest is a strategy—not a reward.Chris Vester brings his signature grounding presence: 2025 was Pruning—not loss, but intentional elimination for growth. 2026 becomes Alignment, tied directly to his mission and advisory work, Align Your Nine. He reminds the room that “no is a complete sentence,” and that fewer, better things often unlock the next chapter.Then Alan Whitman, author of Break the Mold, unpacks the journey of transforming and scaling a traditional CPA firm—and why his 2026 must be Intentional, as he prepares to step into a new CEO role for a private equity-backed platform built to manage, protect, and grow prosperity for SMBs. He shares a practical speaking lesson that sticks: if you're trying to stop saying “um,” don't replace it with more words—replace it with a pause.Mike Modica adds the operator's perspective: Discipline and becoming Replaceable—not to disappear, but to scale through systems, trust, and leadership development in a high-stakes world where mistakes cost real money.And Matt McHale stitches it together—stewardship, leverage, and discipline—showing how relationships, consistent learning, and leadership development create compounding returns.If you're stepping into 2026 with a word, a vision, or a calling—this episode will sharpen it.

Episode 5 of the New Year's Eve Lollapalooza is a masterclass in what happens when high-performing people slow down long enough to tell the truth.Jay Doran and co-host Mike “Mike Drop” Calhoun bring together a loaded room: Matt McHale, Chase Gallagher, Rob Wishnick, Bill Reiman, Bill Mervin, Jim Sabellico, and Stephen Ronald—a group with real history, real scars, and real momentum heading into 2026.The conversation starts the way the best ones do: quick intros, long relationships, and a reminder that nobody's here by accident. Then it turns into something deeper—words for the year, what those words cost, and what they unlock.You'll hear:Jim Sabellico break down the shift from Bold (2025) to Alignment (2026), and why owning your story is the fastest path to freedomRob Wishnick on evolving in a changing mortgage market—and returning to obsession as a competitive edgeBill Reiman on the tension between vitality and faith, and the line that lands: “Without faith, fear decides. With faith, purpose leads.”Stephen Ronald on moving from Relentless to Unbound—and why the way you get to 90 isn't how you get to 150Bill Mervin on consolidation, guardrails, and building the next chapter without burning the house downChase Gallagher on simplify to scale, and why removing complexity can actually enhance performanceMatt McHale on stewardship and leverage, and how the real advantage is learning faster by borrowing wisdom from people who've already lived itThen Jay shifts the whole room with a question:What's the biggest lesson you learned in 2025—one sentence only?What follows is a rapid-fire set of truths about discipline, presence, leadership, and letting the past stop weighing you down. The episode closes with a call to connection—because proximity, tribe, and authenticity aren't just “nice ideas”… they're the framework.If you're walking into 2026 trying to become more aligned, more grounded, and more intentional—this one will hit.

Episode 4 of the NYE Lollapalooza is what happens when the conversation stops being theoretical—and turns into action in real time.Jay Doran and co-host Mike “Mike Drop” Calhoun are joined by a stacked room: Robert Frehafer, Bill Mervin, Brian McNally, Chase Gallagher, and Matt McHale—a group built on years of trust, shared history, and a common obsession with growth, leadership, and doing life with intention.The episode opens with introductions that feel more like tributes: stories of discipline, vision, resilience, and friendship. From mortgage leadership and development (Bill), to high-performance home services and coaching (Chase), to entrepreneurship, community building, and brand growth (Brian), to deep relationship-first leadership and long-term thinking (Matt and Robert), the room quickly locks into the theme that defines the entire Lollapalooza series: proximity changes people—if you show up ready.You'll hear:Why simplifying systems is the fastest path to sustainable scaleHow leaders evolve from “doing everything” to building processes that lastBrian McNally's 2026 word (Alignment) and the philosophy behind F** Average*Matt's emphasis on service and mission, and Robert's commitment to faith, family, and impactA powerful pivot from reflection to execution: the “Referral Party.”In the final stretch, Mike introduces the Board of Advisors-style “referral party,” where each guest calls out what they need next—connections, partnerships, speaking opportunities, brand support—and the room immediately starts building bridges. From getting Brian a Dana White foreword, to creating referral pipelines between landscaping, roofing, and pavement, to linking business growth with mission-driven service, this episode becomes a live demonstration of what real networks actually do.If you've ever wondered what it looks like when relationships stop being small talk and start becoming strategy—this is it.If you're listening, share this with someone building in 2026—and leave a review so this community keeps finding the people it's meant to find.

Episode 3 brings the NYE Lollapalooza deeper into the world of real assets, real operators, and real responsibility. Jay Doran is joined again by co-host Mike “Mike Drop” Calhoun, alongside Judd Burdon, Gray Wilson (Revolution Capital Group), and Robert Frehafer (Guardian Roofing) for a conversation that moves fast—but lands heavy.Gray shares how Revolution Capital thinks differently about real estate: long-duration holding, durability, and intentional value investing in core Philadelphia—avoiding the short-term flips that look smart until the market turns.Robert offers a powerful perspective from the trades—roofing and siding as both opportunity and responsibility—along with a personal story of faith, family, and transformation. The group zooms out to talk about how leaders in service industries can change lives when they stop treating workers like “labor” and start building people through culture, development, and long-term vision.Then the conversation turns sharply into the future: AI in the trades, asset assessments at scale, and the idea of building a “performance partner” network—not just subcontractors, but teams trained, supported, scored, and elevated through systems, standards, and shared outcomes. Judd lays out pieces of a broader ecosystem: tech platforms, equipment, training, dealer networks, and integration across pavement and roofing through property data and AI-driven assessments.A key moment: when asked to pick one word under pressure, Robert lands on it—Innovate. And that becomes the north star of the episode: innovation not as buzzword, but as stewardship—creating better outcomes for customers, better opportunities for workers, and better businesses built to last.This is Episode 3 for the builder, the operator, the investor, and the leader who believes the trades can be more than a job. They can be a movement.If you're listening, share this episode and leave a review—because this series is built on one simple idea: the right people in proximity can change everything.

In Episode 2 of the NYE Lollapalooza, Jay Doran is joined again by co-host Mike “Mike Drop” Calhoun, with guests Judd Burdon (Asphalt Kingdom), Reagan Weiss, and Andrew Berman each bringing real-time reflections on growth, relationships, leadership, and the words that will define their next year.The conversation opens with a guiding quote: “Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.”From there, the group digs into the “word” tradition—what last year required, what this year demands, and how transformation actually happens when the calendar turns.Judd shares a year marked by Change—a move across countries, leadership shifts, and a powerful “day with Jay” that reframed what's possible. His word for 2026 becomes Integration, as he maps a bigger ecosystem across e-commerce, manufacturing, brick-and-mortar expansion, and technology.Reagan reflects on a year of Relationships—and why his 2026 word is Obedience: obedience to God, family, and the relationships he's been given stewardship over. Andrew Berman joins the conversation to unpack his word, Accountability, and the structure required to actually live it—especially as a leader scaling a team and organization.Along the way, they debate founder vs CEO mindsets, discuss what makes real advisors different from coaches and consultants, and return to the core theme of the day: proximity can spark transformation—but only if your mindset is ready to receive it.If you're entering a new year looking for clarity, better questions, and a deeper standard—this episode is your reset.If you want, I can also do a shorter description (60–90 words) for Apple/Spotify and a YouTube description with timestamps.

The NYE Lollapalooza is not about predictions or resolutions. It's about reflection, responsibility, and deciding—consciously—who you are becoming as the calendar turns.In Episode 1, Jay Doran opens the day alongside longtime collaborator and co-host Mike Calhoun for a wide-ranging, deeply philosophical conversation on growth, transformation, and personal ownership.They explore the idea that life can only be understood backward, but must be lived forward—and why a new year isn't a clean slate, but another shot to do it better. Through metaphors of fire, light, proximity, and chemical reactions, Jay and Mike unpack why some people ignite when placed in the right environments, while others remain “duds,” even when all the ingredients for growth are present.This episode dives into:Why real growth requires intensity, friction, and self-confrontationHow proximity to the right people creates transformation—if your mindset allows itThe danger of carrying old habits into a new year unchangedWhy repetition, practice, and responsibility are required to “grow your knife”The difference between collecting wisdom and actually activating itJay reflects on his word for the year shifting from Intensity to Love, framing love as “intensity externalized”—the act of caring deeply about the existence of another. Mike shares his own evolution from Recalibration to a defining word for the coming year: Different, underscoring the truth that better outcomes require different actions—and the strength to break old patterns.This episode sets the tone for the entire NYE Lollapalooza series:Think clearly. Take ownership. Be strong. Be different.And don't just sit in the room—leave it changed.

About Michael Hampton  After studying jazz guitar in high school, an impromptu backstage audition for George Clinton in 1974 earned 17-year-old Michael a seat on the Parliament mothership alongside the immortal Eddie Hazel, under the name "Kidd Funkadelic". Hampton has spent the past half-century playing nearly 400 shows with the band, in 25 countries across 6 continents. Highlights include multiple appearances at world-renowned festivals like Montreux Jazz, Glastonbury, Reading, Woodstock '99, Coachella, Bonnaroo, Roskilde, Lollapalooza, Fuji Rock, and Isle of Wight, and venues like the Apollo Theater, The Fillmore, Royal Albert Hall, Madison Square Garden, The Troubadour, Red Rocks, The Beacon, and Sydney Opera House. Among Hampton's Funkadelic writing credits are group staples like "Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?!" and "Funk Gets Stronger", both released during the group's late-'70s/early-80s hit run. His lead guitar is also embedded in the DNA of 90s hip-hop's G-Funk movement-Dr. Dre's "Let Me Ride" samples Parliament's "Mothership Connection", Ice Cube's "Bop Gun" borrows elements of Funkadelic's "One Nation Under a Groove" Michael's latest album "Into the Public Domain" is available now on all streaming outlets.  Social Media: www.Instagram.com/michaelwhampton www.youtube.com/@MaWaHa Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/2Je4BDRuE01NHCoWlw5hG9?si=pECMNHHxT6-tUONc9pbi-g  About Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris The Music Matters Podcast is hosted by Darrell Craig Harris, a globally published music journalist, professional musician, and Getty Images photographer.

Before there was Inkcarceration, there was Ozzfest. Before there was Aftershock, there was Lollapalooza. Before there was Louder Than Life, there was....H.O.R.D.E.? This week we did some research around the impact of touring music festivals on trends, culture, fashion, and what was considered cool in the music world. We touch on the foundational touring festivals that greatly impacted the large festival scene in the US, and what gifts have they laid for future fans. Cheers!

In this soulful and unfiltered conversation, singer-songwriter Mike Maimone—a former accountant turned queer creative force—shares how love, loss, and midlife reinvention shaped his music and life. From finding love across an age gap with late partner Howard Bragman, to channeling grief into his upcoming album and book, Guess What, I Love You (out February), Mike opens up about rediscovering purpose after heartbreak. Together, Rick and Mike dive into healing, queer resilience, and what it means to live unapologetically authentic—no fears, no excuses, no apologies. Three Key Takeaways Reinvention knows no age limit: Mike's switch from accounting to full-time musician proves it's never too late to follow your authentic rhythm. Love isn't defined by age—it's anchored in shared values and authenticity; Mike and Howard's story shows how connection outlasts external assumptions. Grief can become creative fuel: Mike transformed loss into art, launching an album and book that honor memory by turning pain into performance.  About Mike Originally a business school graduate and accountant, Mike Maimone made his way into full-time music through Chicago's blues scene, drawing comparisons to legends like Randy Newman and Leon Russell. He has since performed more than 100 shows annually, appearing at festivals such as Lollapalooza, Riot Fest, and Summer Camp, while sharing stages with Blues Traveler, Plain White T's, and Company of Thieves. His music has been placed on TV soundtracks and even featured at Wrigley Field. In 2023, Maimone released Borrowed Tunes, Vol. 2, followed by sold-out shows in Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago, with proceeds benefiting The Trevor Project. A live album, Songs for You, Alive in Chicago, followed in early 2024. His forthcoming album Guess What? I Love You, available for pre-order in limited-edition vinyl and CD formats, will include handwritten lyrics, liner notes, and photos, further underscoring the deeply personal nature of the project.

"Lollapalooza effects can make you rich or they can kill you." - Charles T. MungerReal estate professional, businessman, co-owner of R.K. Reiman, and host of "The Real Build" podcast Bill Reiman is joining us on the show once again and we've got a good one in store for you today because we are jamming to some lollapalooza.  No, we don't mean the Chicago-based music festival.  We're talking about the Charlie Munger coined term "lollapalooza effect" which means a situation where multiple psychological biases, tendencies, or forces act together in the same direction, creating an extreme, amplified outcome that is far greater than the sum of its parts.  Bill and Jay are talking about the ability to make good connections between, how equally important it is to know when not to connect certain people, the benefits of a group of like-minded individuals coming together for the common good, and what it is that makes Naples, Florida such a wonderful, unique, and opportunity-filled place.  This episode is dedicated to bringing people together and we hope you're inspired to participate and appreciate those who are together with you after this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

Matt Colwell or 360 is one of Australia's most iconic and beloved rappers. 360 erupted onto the scene in the early 2000s, taking home multiple ARIA Award nominations and two wins along the way. Peaking at #4 on the ARIA Albums Chart, Falling & Flying went on to become certified double platinum, and also secured wins at the 2012 ARIA Music Awards for Breakthrough Artist – Release and Producer of the Year. From here, 360 released 2014's Utopia, 2017's Vintage Modern and, most recently, his latest record Out of the Blue, which dropped earlier this year. Debuting at #1 on the ARIA Australian Hip-Hop Albums Chart, Out of the Blue offered a resounding reminder of 360's dexterity, dynamic flow and storytelling alongside magnetic new cuts Chasing Ghosts, Save My Soul and No Place To Go. With his trademark electrifying stage presence that has seen him enrapture sold out headline crowds, captivate alongside the likes of Eminem and Kendrick Lamar, or dazzle onstage at Lollapalooza, Big Day Out and Splendour In The Grass, 360 remains one of the country's most in demand acts and musical exports, with his most recent Out Of The Blue capital city tour entirely sold out; and, as 360 reveals, his passion for live performances has not waned despite a lack of down time between his many performances. He is set to take it BACK N FORTH across regional Australia in 2026, with an extensive run kicking off in February 2026. Tickets are now on sale! Check it out, links below. We chat about going to rehab, his new tour, performing, nerves and rap battles, new definition of success, fame, life coaches, his 8 year hiatus, approval, people pleasing and trusting your gut + plenty more!

Nate Davenport is the Founder & CEO of Nebu Clothing, an outdoor apparel brand built for performance, versatility, and heart. Before launching Nebu, Nate led a finance team at Zappos and served as an infantry squad leader in the U.S. Marines, where he learned the value of gear that works under real pressure.Nebu was born from frustration, products that changed for the sake of change, colors that blended into landscapes but not the spirit of adventure, and fits that never quite fit. Nate set out to fix that by building apparel that feels great, performs hard, and actually looks good.In this episode, Nate shares how he rebuilt his Shopify site from scratch in 36 hours after a crash, how he found the right manufacturing partners through hands-on trial and error, and how he defines success by community and craftsmanship, not scale alone.Whether you're an ecommerce founder navigating supply chain complexity or a brand builder chasing quality over quantity, Nate's story is a masterclass in learning fast, leading with purpose, and finding fulfillment beyond revenue.In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:26] Intro[01:09] Building products that solve real use problems[03:16] Turning frustration into a product opportunity[05:46] Building intuition through contrast and visits[10:25] Selling through friends before running paid ads[14:53] Stay updated with new episodes[15:03] Building profitability through paid learning[15:43] Turning events and emails into ad leverage[17:14] Sponsors: Electric Eye, Heatmap & Freight Right[21:50] Balancing goodwill with measurable profit[22:28] Moving fulfillment from warehouse to garage[27:01] Choosing product ideas by improving what exists[32:54] Redefining success beyond scale and revenue[36:42] Connecting community through personal supportResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeEveryday active apparel nebuclothing.com/Follow Nate Davenport linkedin.com/in/nathan-davenport-327483186Schedule an intro call with one of our experts electriceye.io/connectClear, real-time data built for ecommerce optimization heatmap.com/honestTurn your domestic business into an international business freightright.com/honestIf you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Author Greg Prato joins us this week to discuss his new book Alternative for the Masses. The book argues that Nirvana didn't just happen out of nowhere. The seeds had been planted with bands like the Pixies and Jane's Addiction that prepared a way for Nirvana (and the whole grunge movement) to flourish. The book is an oral history featuring dozens of key voices from the scene (many of which are former guests) who share their recollections of that period including indie record labels, the drugs, Lollapalooza and key songs and albums, which Greg and I debate as well. It's a lively discussion with a great writer about an important chapter in music history. We're also giving away a book.

In Episode 6 of Artist Spotlight, we're joined by Daniel Allan—producer, songwriter, and one of the most exciting new voices in electronic music. From attending Lollapalooza at 14 to performing at major festivals, Daniel shares how his love for dance music began and the journey that has shaped his sound. We dive into the creative process behind tracks like “I Just Need,” how his D1 tennis background drives his work ethic, and the role family and personal memories play in his artistry. Daniel also previews music from his latest EP and teases unreleased collaborations—including one with Louis The Child.This episode is a deep dive into the mind of an artist driven by authenticity, intention, and connection.

Opiuo is a genre-bending plethora of auditory and visual masterclasses. Born in 1984 in rural New Zealand, his parents provided the land upon which music festivals were held. This extremely formative growth surrounded by the early incarnations of Aotearoa's electronic music scene exposed him to the celebration of life through self-expression, dance, and giant sound systems. These experiences shaped so much of who he is & what he stands for today. Positivity and movement at the core of the project, his music is an infectious electronic based blend of funk, soul, psychedelia, and booty-shaking bass.  Now calling Australia home, Oscar tours his party-starting music throughout the globe. Having spent more than a decade performing at some of the world's most renowned festivals and venues including Lollapalooza, Glastonbury, and Coachella, as well as selling out Colorado's famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre multiple times, he's performed his music in an unimaginably large array of formats. From self-built Orchestras, to collaborating with symphony choirs, touring his own Opiuo Band, and as an immersive solo audio & visual show, his live creativity is limitless. Taking home the New Zealand Music Award for Best Electronic Album in 2014, his catalogue is vast. Having released 6 full-length albums, 10 EPs, and a myriad of singles and remixes over the last 14 years. In his own words, he is still "just getting started!". Opiuo Links   Mr. Bill Links
