Podcasts about Rising Tide

What happens when businesses, apps, and games use music without really paying for it?  This week we're on the third revenue multiplier of our Rising Tide miniseries: new forms of licensing hiding in plain sight.  First, Soundtrack CEO Ola Sars breaks down the 40 billion dollar market for background music in businesses, and why more than 80% of companies playing music today are doing it the wrong way. Only 5% of US businesses are fully compliant on public performance licensing, and that gap is costing the industry billions. Next, we have Lauren Pufpaf of Feed Media Group explain how personalized, intelligent music licensing is opening up categories most of the industry has not even noticed, including a 5 billion dollar opportunity in AI video platforms. Finally, Tomas Jenneborg of Reactional Music reveals that the gaming industry spends 25 to 30 billion dollars a year on user acquisition ads, and music is getting none of it.    The Music Tectonics podcast goes beneath the surface of the music industry to explore how technology is changing the way business gets done.

What is your music catalog actually worth, and how would you even find out?  This week we're on the second stop of our Rising Tide miniseries, tackling catalog valuation, one of the revenue multipliers we're covering ahead of the Music Tectonics Conference this October. First, music lawyer and Instagram creator Ryan Schmidt breaks down how catalogs get valued, the difference between the multiplier method and discounted cash flow analysis, and why an audit can uncover money you didn't know you were owed. We also get into name, image, and likeness rights, AI licensing, and where Ryan thinks the biggest growth opportunities are for artists and songwriters. Then we bring in two companies already working in this space. Sho Mitchell from Beatlibrary walks us through what a catalog valuation tool actually looks like in practice, and Rob Steiner from Luminate shares data on the current state of the catalog acquisition market. If you're a music tech company solving problems like these, come demo on the beach and network with the ecosystem at the Music Tectonics Conference, October 27 to 29 in Santa Monica.

There's no lost and found for your royalties. If you don't claim them, they don't come looking for you, and depending on where the money's sitting, you may only have a few years before it's gone for good.   This week we kick off a new thread inside our Rising Tide miniseries: the eight revenue multipliers in music. We're starting with revenue recovery, the money that's already been earned but never made it back to the artists, songwriters, and producers who are owed it. We talk to three companies attacking this problem from three different angles.   Jason Feinberg, who leads Kosign at Kobalt Music, breaks down why revenue recovery is such a persistent problem in the first place, the fundamentals every artist needs to register (PRO, MLC, SoundExchange), and why an hour spent getting your metadata in order might be the most profitable hour of your career. Jeff Ponchick, co-founder and CEO of Mogul, explains how his company built something like "the Plaid of the music industry," centralizing royalty data across every platform an artist is owed money from, and why up to 50% of artist catalogs are registered incorrectly without anyone realizing it. Rob Brown, chief revenue officer at mprs, zooms into a corner of revenue recovery almost nobody talks about: the master points owed to producers, mixers, engineers, and top line songwriters, and how something as small as an unsigned letter of direction can freeze a producer's income entirely.   If you're a music tech company solving problems like these, come demo on the beach and network with the ecosystem at the Music Tectonics Conference, October 27 to 29 in Santa Monica.   The Music Tectonics podcast goes beneath the surface of the music industry to explore how technology is changing the way business gets done.

What's your music catalog actually worth, and where is the industry still leaving money on the table?  This week, Dmitri is joined by our chief writer Tristra Newyear Yeager for a deep dive into eight revenue multipliers that they believe can grow the total addressable market for music. Building on last month's conversation with Eleanor about the rising tide thesis, Dmitri and Tristra break down each multiplier one by one: catalog valuation, revenue recovery, artist and label services, licensing, AI licensing, fan growth, fan revenue, and new music products. Along the way, we mention a ton of companies that are actually building in this space right now, so keep an ear out if you're looking for tools to grow your own business. They talk about where catalogs are becoming an investable asset class, why the industry still has multiple black boxes leaking royalty revenue, and how distributors are evolving into full platforms for artists and labels. They also dig into the complicated economics of AI licensing, from training data to generation to the songs that come out the other end, and look at emerging companies working on attribution, revenue recovery, and fan monetization across the space. This episode is part of the Rising Tide miniseries, tied to this year's Music Tectonics Conference theme, Rising Tide: Grow the Music, Grow the Value. The conference takes place October 27 to 29, 2026, in Santa Monica.   Companies mentioned: Royaltyport, Beatlibrary, Primordial, Legitary, Luminate, Chartmetric, Viberate, Mogul, MusicInfra, Shine-X, Claimy, Curve Royalty System, AIMS, ONErpm, Orphiq, beatBread, SongStats, Sound Credit, LyricFind, Soundstripe, feed.fm, Soundtrack Your Brand, Merlin Connect, ClicknClear, Musical AI, Vocana, Laylo, Symphony OS, Audience Republic, Rap Fame, OpenStage, Fave, Even, Patreon, Vinyl Bar in Shibuya, Hook, AudioShake, Kitbetter, Tiny Vinyl.   The Music Tectonics podcast goes beneath the surface of the music industry to explore how technology is changing the way business gets done.

Send us Fan MailOne great bourbon story can change your whole drinking life, and Ed Blake's starts with a bottle he avoided for years. After a bad early run-in with bourbon, he returns to it later through a Pappy Van Winkle 15 and suddenly the rabbit hole opens. From there, we follow the real path from enthusiast to trusted palate: learning how to taste, learning how to talk about flavour, and learning how to help other people find what they actually like. Ed (Rising Tide Spirits) shares how barrel picks and community feedback sharpened his selection skills, including the practical reality of tasting barrels in winter, when whiskey can show harsher edges before it warms up. We also get into what it's like building brands as a non-distiller producer, how Old Stubborn came to life through a strong distillery relationship, and why he's committed to small production and high quality instead of chasing shelf space. Then we go deep on rye whiskey, especially MGP rye. We unpack the dill pickle note that turns some drinkers off, how fermentation timing can influence it, and why longer aging often brings more caramel sweetness, richer oak, and a smoother balance. If you're curious about Old Swagger, Old Stubborn, premium bourbon packaging, or what separates a hype bottle from a genuinely great pour, you'll leave with a clearer buying compass and a better vocabulary for your own palate. Subscribe for more whiskey conversations, share this with a rye or bourbon friend, and leave us a review with the best bottle you've had this year. What tasting note instantly makes you want another sip?We sit down with Ed Blake of Rising Tide Spirits and trace the real steps from bourbon fan to respected barrel picker and brand builder. We dig into how he sources and blends Old Stubborn and Old Swagger, why his packaging is part of the experience, and what he's learning from rye whiskey as the market shifts.  • Ed's early bourbon misfire and the moment Pappy brings him back  • Building a whiskey community and learning through shared pours  • The liquor store “help a shopper” moment that turns into a job  • How private barrel picks create trust and demand  • Sourcing as an NDP and why winter barrel samples can mislead  • Designing premium packaging that matches premium whiskey  • Staying small by choice while releases sell out fast  • Rye whiskey education, MGP dill notes, and how age softens them  • Barrel aging plans in Kentucky and a teased higher-aged release  Remember, we're the Scotchy Bourbon Boys, www.scotchyburbonboys.com for all things scotchy bourbon boys.

That's the question host Dmitri Vietze presents to Vickie Nauman, founder of CrossBorderWorks, in this episode of Music Tectonics. Vickie has spent over two decades at the intersection of music and tech, working on sync licensing for video games and virtual worlds, and pioneering the concept of minimum viable music. This is episode three in the Rising Tide miniseries, built around the theme of this year's Music Tectonics Conference, Rising Tide: Grow the Music, Grow the Value, taking place October 27 to 29, 2026 in Santa Monica. Dmitri and Vickie unpack why technology and the music business have always clashed, why music is usually first to be disrupted by new platforms, and why volume based streaming rewards top artists while leaving mid tier and independent artists behind. They also get into generative AI, AI licensing deals, and why Vickie believes the future of music creation is not human versus AI, but a blend of both. They close out on gaming as an untapped revenue opportunity, why most super fan apps fail to gain traction, and what gives Vickie hope about the next generation of musicians and fans. Topics include music industry trends, music tech, artificial intelligence in music, music streaming, music licensing, sync licensing, gaming and music, and super fan monetization.

Streaming built the modern music industry, but its growth is slowing in the US and other mature markets. So what comes next?  This week on the podcast, Dmitri sits down with Monica Corton, CEO of Go to Eleven Entertainment, to unpack where the total addressable market for music grows from here. This conversation is part two of the Rising Tide miniseries built around the Music Tectonics Conference theme, Grow the Music, Grow the Value. Monica and Dmitri dig into global streaming adoption in emerging music markets like Africa, Southeast Asia, and India, the return of physical media through kit style formats, and why interactive music and fan experiences could be the next major revenue driver for artists, songwriters, and publishers. They also explore new licensing frontiers including medical and wellness applications, songwriter branding deals, name image and likeness rights, avatar and hologram concerts, and gaming sync opportunities in titles like Grand Theft Auto and Just Dance. The conversation turns to generative AI and music licensing, covering attribution engines, royalty payouts for AI generated songs, and why Monica believes independent publishers need a seat at the table as AI platforms scale. They close with a candid look at publisher and label consolidation, TikTok and social media licensing rates, and whether streaming will ever be replaced or simply become one layer in a much more diversified music economy. Whether you work in music publishing, artist management, music licensing, or music technology, this episode offers a grounded look at where the music business grows next.   The Music Tectonics podcast goes beneath the surface of the music industry to explore how technology is changing the way business gets done.

Rising Tide of Color Against White World-Supremacy is Lothrop Stoddard's seminal exploration of race, penned in the wake of the First World War. In this influential treatise, Stoddard articulates the shifting racial dynamics of his era, asserting that the dominance of white supremacy is not a guaranteed status quo but rather a challengeable condition. His predictions about the rise of other races and their potential to contest white supremacy resonate powerfully today, as discussions around race and equality continue to shape our societal landscape.

In the latest episode of Rising Tide the Ocean Podcast Oceanographer and Blue Frontier board member Joy Leilei Shih and David Helvarg talk with Australian based scientist Dr. Aaron Eger, one of the world's top kelp researchers. Based at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, he is the founder and program director of the global ‘Kelp Forest Alliance,' also the lead author of 3 major scientific kelp reports that have come out over the last 4 years. These include one that identifies the value of kelp forests at roughly half a trillion dollars a year. Aaron discusses food and biodiversity, coastal protection, nutrient and carbon reduction and other values of kelp. He'll also talk about growing up in coastal British Columbia and the fun of being in on and around macro-algae as the other great fast-growing world forest that is less known because it thrives underwater.

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, is it too late to revive her spirit and inspire her people to return to faith? Dr. Greg Patten weighs in on this critical question. He is the director of Greg Patten Ministries and the author of many books about U.S. culture, including Oh, Say Can You See? Spiritual Blindness and the Rising Tide of Evil, and The New America - A Flood of Evil. He talks about the slow erosion of American values and whether he believes revival is possible. Christians cannot passively sit on the sidelines while America crumbles. Greg encourages believers to pray and to ask God what they can do and how they can use their talents to serve others. God is running the show, Greg says. He's not surprised by anything, and we are blessed to always have our hope firmly rooted in Him. TAKEAWAYS We need more unity in this country, not division Learning from the Bible is a lifelong process of sanctification Everyone has a gift that God has given them that can help others Many Americans are desensitized to the horrors of modern culture, like abortion

Theres no better backdrop for celebrating 250 years of American freedom than Mount Rushmore, and Fox News correspondent Griff Jenkins brings it to life. Griff shares the fascinating history behind the 85-year-old monument, from its 14-year construction to the story of how it came to honor Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln instead of its original concept, and previews President Trumps upcoming visit before returning to DC for the Fourth. He also reflects on the warmth international visitors are finding across America thanks to the World Cup, a reminder of just how special this country really is when people experience it firsthand. But its not all celebration: Griff sounds the alarm on the growing wave of Democratic Socialist candidates winning primaries, calling out a rising generation taught to see America through a critical lens instead of a grateful one. Faith in the founding, pride in the country, and a clear eye on where the left is headed, thats the spirit of this conversation.

They're named after the author of Jaws who spent most of his subsequent life as a shark and ocean protection advocate. Founded almost 20 years ago by Blue Frontier and Wendy Benchley and continuing under the auspices of the Aquarium Conservation Partnership, the awards have become known as the Oscars of the Ocean with over 80 winners to date.The 2026 award winners included Julie Packard of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, President Jose Manuel Bolero of the Azores, Congressman Jared Huffman of California, Dr. Diva Amon, the ocean business Bureo, Marce Guiterez – Graudins, the documentary Ocean with David Attenborough and youth winner Coji Senanayake.Additional ResourcesBlue Frontier / Substack — Building the solution-based citizen movement needed to protect our ocean, coasts and communities, both human and wild.Inland Ocean Coalition — Building land-to-sea stewardship - the inland voice for ocean protectionFluid Studios — Thinking radically different about the collective good, our planet, & the future.

An inside look at the determined youth ambassadors advocating for oceanic policy reform.In the latest episode of Rising Tide the Ocean Podcast David and oceanographer and Blue Frontier board member Joy LeiLei Shih talk about our Youth Ambassador program before interviewing our 2026 ambassadors – Avery, age 13, Jack, 13, Liam, 14 and Kianna 16 on their return from an Ocean Week trip to Washington DC. We discuss their impressions after having worked the halls of Congress taking a dozen meetings over 3 days to educate their elected officials and staff members on the issues they are involved in from plastic waste to sea turtle protection. We also discuss the direct meetings they held with Senators Padilla, Schiff and Schatz and Representatives Raskin, Huffman and Liccardo. It's a great conversation and reminder that our ocean youth – even those in middle school - are not necessarily our leaders of the future - but can be leaders today if we work with and mentor them.

Jamie Howard is the filmmaker behind Chasing Silver, Running the Coast, Location X, Black Salmon, and Bass The Movie — and yesterday he sat down with me to talk about his new podcast Cameras Off, the Tarpon Diaries series he's launching inside it, and where the show is going next as it expands beyond fishing Jamie and I have been crossing paths for more than twenty years.

Historically, many didn't consider Alabama to be at the forefront of education, but Alabama's pandemic recovery may be among the best in the nation.Perhaps most impressively, Alabama was the only state whose 4th-grade math NAEP scores were higher in 2024 than in 2019, and Alabama reports a chronic absenteeism rate that is the lowest in the nation—and the closest to its pre-pandemic levels of any state.Are these results part of a broader story about how Alabama has changed the way it thinks about education? What changes have helped produce Alabama's recent education gains? And where might education in the Yellowhammer State be headed next?On this episode of The Report Card, Nat Malkus discusses these questions and more with Alabama State Superintendent of Education Eric Mackey.

Exploring the Depths: An Investigative Dive on Ocean Conservation and Cultural ImpactIn the latest episode of Rising Tide the Ocean Podcast David Helvarg and Vicki Nichols Goldstein have an engaging conversation with Paul Greenberg, author of the best-selling book ‘Four Fish' and more recent writings including his latest novel ‘A Third Term' (George Washington takes on Donald Trump). A Writer in Residence at the Safina Center, a former Pew Fellow and recipient of many honors, Paul discusses growing up fishing, his literary journey (with a short jaunt into Semiotics) how people's habits and perceptions often differ from common environmental messaging they receive and why Bluefin Tuna give him hope for the future.

In this first episode of Enlight, Caroline Mardok speaks with Kaitlin Krause, founder of Rising Tide Effect, and Keraya Knight, a participant who grew into a mentor through the program. Set in New York City, the episode explores what access to water really means in a city surrounded by it: not only swimming lessons, but safety, confidence, dignity, and belonging. Through their conversation, the episode looks at the barriers many young people face—from cost and lack of access to food insecurity and fear of the water—and at how Rising Tide Effect is creating pathways through free swim instruction, water safety education, and youth development. At once intimate and civic, this is a story about survival, joy,and what it would take to build a more swimmable city. https://www.carolinemardok.com/

"What if you train them and they leave?" It's the fear that quietly keeps most healthcare leaders from investing in their people. Matt Staub — CEO of Your Health — wants you to sit with the question his mentor once asked in return: What if you don't train them, and they stay? In this episode, Matt joins Jamie Preston for a conversation about why workforce education isn't a perk at Your Health — it's the culture. From nationally accredited apprenticeships, to a training pipeline built out of a licensing crisis, to the real people behind the success stories, this is a blueprint for leaders who want to grow something that lasts. Key topics covered: The lumberjack story: why sharpening your axe beats swinging harder every time How a shortage of licensed administrators became the catalyst for Your Health's training engine The shift from "education happens on your own time" to "this is how we behave" Real success stories — Olivia, Kristin, Taylor, McKinsey, Rebecca — and what they share Matt's three challenges for anyone ready to grow: show up, find your who, take your shot If you've ever wondered whether developing your people is worth the cost, this episode will change the math. Press play — then look around, and ask yourself who's looking at you.

Exploring the Forgotten Frontlines of Our Ocean's Battle Against Climate ChangeThe tables turn on the latest episode of Rising Tide the Ocean Podcast as Blue Frontier's Natasha Benjamin interviews Rising Tide co-host and author David Helvarg on his latest book, ‘Forest of the Sea – The Remarkable Life and Imperiled Future of Kelp' (coming out May 5th). As co-director of the award-winning kelp forest documentary ‘Sequoias of the Sea' Natasha is also steeped in the mystery, wonder and peril of these great underwater forests of life and light. So, their discussion ranges over both familiar territory – how a changing warming ocean is impacting kelp forests that have been around over 30 million years - to some of the newer things David discovered during his two years researching the book, interviewing and diving with a wide range of people and creatures from Alaska to California, Maine, Turkey, Palau – for his chapter ‘Kelp is the new Coral' - and other far-flung waterfronts where the world's kelp forests, cover an area larger than the Amazon rainforest. He talks about how they've gotten into serious trouble even as they provide us half a trillion dollars of services a year including as ‘the mother seed' for global food security in fishing and seaweed aquaculture.It's a fun romp through an entangling wonderland, which is why Rising Tide recommends you give a listen and then buy David's book (preferably through your local independent bookstore). Additional Resources Pre-order Forest Of The Sea — Veteran journalist David Helvarg takes us on a riveting journey beneath the waves to understand kelp's natural and human history, the billions of dollars of products and services it contributes to our global economy, the unwitting human activities that threaten its survival, and the powerful movements around the world to restore its disappearing habitat.Sequoias Of The Sea — tells the story of the environmental, cultural and economic destruction impacting a coastal town that has lost its coastal kelp forest. It's a deep dive into the lives of fishermen, tribes, scientists, and a community working to restore a habitat devastated by a warming climate.

Today on Too Opinionated, we're joined by rising pop artist Olivia Hahn, a 19-year-old singer/songwriter from Victoria, BC whose story is as powerful as her music. After losing her mother to cancer at just 14 years old, Olivia turned to writing as a way to cope—eventually publishing her book "Healing Our Wounded Hearts" to help other teens navigate grief. She followed that with two poetry collections:

Explore the alliance between fishermen and environmentalists that is reshaping the industry and safeguarding marine life.On the latest episode of Rising Tide the Ocean Podcast, host David Helvarg and co-host Vicki Nichols Goldstein sit down with James Workman and Amanda Leland, co-authors of Sea Change – Unlikely Allies and a Success Story of Oceanic Proportions — a book that makes a convincing case that empowering fishermen to work together, even as they compete, can create miracles.Workman brings the instincts of an award-winning journalist and entrepreneur to the conversation, having already explored humanity's most elemental struggles in his earlier work, Heart of Dryness. Leland came to the sea the way many do — through a grandfather and a fishing line at age five — and never left. Today she serves as Executive Director of the Environmental Defense Fund, the international nonprofit working to align healthy communities and economies with the hard realities of a changing climate.Together, they dig into the market-based system known as catch share fishing: what it is, how it's reshaping the destructive race toward overfishing in U.S. waters, and why it may be one of the most promising tools we have for getting this right on a global scale. They also explore the human cost baked into commercial fishing — still one of the deadliest jobs on earth — and how catch shares are changing those odds. And they explain their choice to tell this sweeping story through the life of one rugged Gulf Coast fisherman named Buddy, a narrative anchor that grounds the policy and the science in salt, sweat and consequence.All of it plays out against the backdrop of a rapidly warming, rapidly changing ocean — and what that means for the millions of people whose dinner plates depend on getting this right.A story of hope, hard-won transformation and new challenges. Dive in and take an audio bite.Additional Resources Sea Change Book — the captivating, deeply-human tale of how fishermen—along with some unlikely allies—helped carry out the biggest conservation success story you've never heard of.Blue Frontier / Substack — Building the solution-based citizen movement needed to protect our ocean, coasts and communities, both human and wild.Inland Ocean Coalition — Building land-to-sea stewardship - the inland voice for ocean protectionFluid Studios — Thinking radically different about the collective good, our planet, & the future.

The Fortress Strategy: Masterclass in Asset Protection with Aaron YoungAre you building a business on a solid foundation, or is your personal estate one lawsuit away from a total collapse? In this high-stakes episode, Scott Carson sits down with legendary entrepreneur and asset protection expert Aaron Young of Laughlin Associates. With over 50,000 clients and a 54-year legacy, Aaron reveals why simply filing for an LLC isn't enough to keep you safe. If you're a real estate or note investor, you're in a "professional space" where buying assets and raising capital makes you a target. Learn why "piercing the corporate veil" has become the most litigated issue in business law and, more importantly, how you can build a "corporate veil" so strong that even the most aggressive "ne'er-do-wellers" won't stand a chance.5 Key Topics Covered in This Episode:The Myth of the "Free" LLC: Many entrepreneurs believe that paying a state fee and getting an EIN means they are protected. Aaron explains that a true "corporate veil" is only created when you demonstrate to the law that your business is a separate entity, not just your "alter ego" or personal piggy bank.The Rising Tide of Litigation: Small business owners in the U.S. have a one-in-four chance of being sued in any given twelve-month period. With 93% of the world's litigation occurring in the U.S., "frivolous" lawsuits cost small businesses over $100 billion annually as people search for a "pot of gold" in your success.Critical Corporate Formalities: To maintain separation, you must treat your company like a real business. This means having a formal operating agreement, issuing actual membership certificates, maintaining a stock ledger, and holding regular board meetings—even if you are the only employee.The Danger of Single-Member LLCs: While popular, single-member LLCs are often treated as "disregarded entities". Aaron warns that these provide significantly less protection than two-member LLCs or C-Corporations because all liability often flows directly back to the sole owner.Separation as a Deterrent: The goal of advanced asset protection is to make yourself look "undesirable" to contingency-fee lawyers. By using strategies like Nevada holding companies and resident agent firms, you create a "labyrinth" that forces predators to either walk away or risk their own capital at $700 an hour rather than suing you for free.Conclusion: "I am not the company, and the company is not me". This simple mantra is the difference between long-term wealth and sudden financial ruin. As Aaron Young shared through his harrowing story of a random, devastating car accident, we never plan for the "what ifs," but they happen regardless. Whether it's a slip-and-fall on a job site or a disgruntled former employee, the world is full of risks. Don't wait for an "event-driven" wake-up call after you've already been sued. Take action today to organize your estate, follow the law—even the "stupid" parts—and ensure that the wealth you work so hard to build stays exactly where it belongs: with you.Get Signed Up For the Dallas Magnify Your Wealth Summit HERE!

Step into Episode 204 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Teddy, a fifth-generation Arizona native and co-founder of Pretty Decent Concepts, for a wide-ranging conversation about music, grit, marriage, and building one of Phoenix's most creative restaurant groups from the ground up. From touring the country on $7 a day with his rock band Hollywood Heartthrob to winning a million-dollar raffle and losing it all chasing the music dream — and then betting everything on Downtown Phoenix before anyone else believed in it — Teddy's story is a masterclass in persistence, pivoting, and playing the long game.The conversation covers how Teddy and his wife Katie built their restaurant group concept by concept, starting with a bootstrapped Chico Malo at Cityscape in Downtown Phoenix, navigating chef drama and a complete menu overhaul weeks before opening, opening and ultimately shuttering Chico Malo Miami after a four-year battle with neighbors, and doubling down on Tempe when everyone said it couldn't work. Teddy also shares the creative philosophy behind their cinematic concepts, why he treats every restaurant like an album, how collaboration with talent like Scott Conant on the upcoming Roman God of Fire sets them apart, and why a rising tide lifts all ships when it comes to building great neighborhoods. If you're in hospitality, entrepreneurship, or just love the Arizona food scene, this episode is packed with real insight and great stories.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 1:41) Delo's Intro, Episode 204, and Welcoming Teddy(1:42 - 3:34) Fifth-Generation Arizona Roots, Sun Devil Marching Band, and West Side Phoenix(3:35 - 7:19) Hollywood Heartthrob, Warped Tour, Record Label, and Music Industry Lessons(7:20 - 10:57) Every Failure Translates: Business Lessons from Music to Restaurants(10:58 - 13:49) Building with Katie: Partnership, Marriage, and 17 Years of Growing Together(13:50 - 17:03) Life on Tour, $7 a Day, and Katie Running Merch on the Road(17:04 - 18:25) Winning the Million-Dollar Health & Wealth Raffle and Taking the Cash Option(18:26 - 24:36) Opening Chico Malo: Downtown Phoenix, Chef Drama, Menu Pivots, and the Underdog Win(24:37 - 26:38) Chico Malo Miami: COVID, Hotel Rooms with a Toddler, and Knowing When to Walk Away(26:39 - 32:18) Betting on Tempe: Filthy Animal, Doubters, a Rising Tide, and the ASU Generation(32:19 - 36:10) Pat Tillman, Jake Plummer, ASU Lore, and the Rose Bowl Memory(36:11 - 38:23) Roman God of Fire, Scott Conant, Forgive Me Father, and What's Opening in June(38:24 - 40:48) Wren and Wolf, the California Group That Never Opened, and Downtown Phoenix Today(40:49 - 44:31) Rapid Fire: Coffee, Aliens, Bench Press, Richardson's, and Rapid-Fire Wrap-Up
