Robert Fiveash and Jay Busselle bagged a unicorn! Michele Bell from ASI is perhaps the highest-profile industry leader who really doesn’t agree to podcast interviews. But we had an offer even MB couldn’t refuse. Jay’s promise of tacos for life, and Robert’s promise of yearly Stones-related gifts, did the trick! Michele was very generous with her time and was her hilarious, insightful, and intelligent self throughout. We talked about what the future likely looks like, the impact of tariffs, industry terminology, the role of suppliers and distributors, and of course, the Rolling Stones. Thanks Michele for sitting down with us, and thanks for being such a positive and influential part of this industry.

Key Takeaways: Jim Rohn, “You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with” Danny Rosin, Brand Fuel https://www.brandfuel.com/?team=danny-rosin-2 Danny’s favourite quote “I hopelessly fall in love with a lot of people I meet. The homeless man playing saxophone tirelessly in 96-degree heat for a few bucks. The checkout lady at Whole Foods who has purple hair, 14 nose rings and smells like 4 days ago who smiles invitingly and asks me to donate $1 to a local cause that seems to really matter to her. The friendly elder-gentleman who has swept the floors of The Berkeley for 29 years and takes the time to tell me about his upbringing. That his grandma, “Mimo,” taught him about true work ethic. And how he thinks today’s parents just leave their kids in front of smartphones. And that he is inspired to do something about that cultural perversion. When I ask him if I can shake his hand, to thank him for sharing his wisdom, he almost instantaneously replies, “Go.” Join me on life’s roller-coaster. Through community. Business. Music. I hope we can connect and help each other out in some way.” Nuci’s Space https://www.nuci.org/ Our mission is to prevent suicide.

What a perfect, beautiful expression of love. Fan-fu*cking-tabulous, I cannot wait to read about the band, Homecoming, and the fans. Tell Robert my favorite song is "Late For Church" Best line: Reverend Bob is preachin' out thunder Mom and Dad follow every last word All this hollerin' makes me wonder Does a whispered prayer get heard?
