With a career that began in retail management and a decade spent as a touring musician, Michael brings a diverse background to his leadership role at one of the most celebrated aquariums in the country. His journey at the Tennessee Aquarium began as an admissions assistant manager and progressed to the executive team, overseeing guest experience across a sprawling, multi-building campus in Chattanooga. In this interview, Michael talks about starting with respect, connecting employees to the mission, and lessons from being a touring musician. Starting with Respect “You're never going to get in trouble for trying to do your job. If you are doing what in your mind is best for the guest… we can go back later, we can talk through that, we can make adjustments.” Respect is a foundational value for Michael, both in his personal leadership style and within the Tennessee Aquarium's culture. He shared how early experiences in management—starting at just 18—taught him the challenges of leading peers and the importance of transitioning from being a peer to being a leader. Over time, he distinguished between managing tasks and truly leading people. As a leader now, he empowers his team by ensuring they don't fear making decisions in the moment for the benefit of the guest. Mistakes are viewed as opportunities for learning, not punishment. Michael's approach promotes psychological safety and trust. By removing fear from the equation, he allows team members to take initiative, try new approaches, and build confidence. This empowerment leads to stronger team performance and, ultimately, better guest experiences. Connecting Employees to the Mission “If we expect our employees to connect people to water and wildlife, first we need to connect our employees to water and wildlife.” At the Tennessee Aquarium, conservation and education are central to the mission. Michael emphasized the importance of immersing employees in the organization's purpose—not just through training but by giving them firsthand experiences. Team members visit the Conservation Institute, participate in programs like sturgeon releases, and develop a personal connection to the stories they're telling guests. This connection transforms the guest interaction. Rather than reciting facts from a script, employees share genuine excitement and passion. Michael explained that this authenticity helps the Aquarium consistently rank in the top 1% for hospitality among global cultural organizations. By investing in the employee experience, they amplify the guest experience in return. Lessons from Being a Touring Musician “There's always something positive that you can go through and focus on and kind of talk through… and really being there and showing that type of respect—people, you start to get that back.” Before his time at the aquarium, Michael spent years on the road as a guitarist in a band. He credits that experience with shaping his values around community, branding, and respect. Touring taught him to build relationships with promoters, support other bands, and find creative ways to engage with audiences—like offering CDs to fans who beat the band in a game of Mortal Kombat. These grassroots, DIY (or as Michael prefers, DIT—do it together) experiences taught him how to build loyalty, communicate a brand, and foster belonging. These same principles now guide his work in the attraction space. Just like a band earns its fan base one person at a time, Michael believes in creating meaningful guest experiences by investing in the little things—hospitality, enthusiasm, and consistency.   To learn more about the Tennessee Aquarium, visit TNAqua.org or follow them on social media.

Episode 71: Harvey Mason Sr. You've heard Harvey Mason Sr., whether you realize it or not. From the iconic grooves of Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters to the GRAMMY-winning “Kiss From A Rose” by Seal, Harvey's drumming has shaped music history across genres, decades, and mediums — albums, film scores, and TV alike. He's not only a musical powerhouse, but a dear friend, and in this episode, we finally sat down to dig into his legendary run — especially his work with Herbie Hancock and the Head Hunters album. Harvey shares the story of how that band came together, the sessions behind Chameleon and Watermelon Man, and why he chose not to tour with them at the height of their success. We also dive into his solo career — how it started, how it evolved, and the surprising role Clive Davis played in making it all happen. Harvey opens up about his long-standing friendships and collaborations with Quincy Jones and Chick Corea, his approach to fatherhood (including raising his sons Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, and Max Mason, former VP of Quincy Jones Productions), and how he built a legacy both on and off the kit. Fun fact: Vic Firth was Harvey's teacher — and Harvey still receives royalties from the early days of Vic Firth drumsticks! We also get into his stunning new album Changing Partners: Trios 2, featuring the likes of Chick Corea, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, James Genus, Dave Grusin, Stanley Clarke. This conversation is a masterclass in musicianship, legacy, and love for the craft. Enjoy my sit-down with the incomparable Harvey Mason Sr. ‘Go with Elmo Lovano' is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.

Josh Ostrander is back with a new Mondo Cozmo album and I'm stoked to share this amazing interview with all of you!  His project is named for his dog, Cozmo, who recently passed away, and the new album, “It's PRINCIPAL,” is simply outstanding — a beautiful alt-rock album with a driving vibe and a gripping and cohesive throughline. Josh has a great attitude and an endearing sense of humor and I get into it all with him. We talk about his life philosophy: a combination of gratitude, self-acceptance and the belief that life is a series of “a million little miracles.”  Josh's humor and emotional awareness will lift you up; it did for me… and I'm all about that.

Amy Helm has released 4 solo records, 4 with her band Ollabelle, and appeared on 8 of her father Levon Helm's records, as well as records by artists as diverse as Rosanne Cash, William Bell, Tracy Bonham, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and a handful of her stepfather Donald Fagan's solo and late Steely Dan records. We talk with Amy about taking care of yourself like an athlete, leaving your family behind to tour for long stretches of time, and music cooperatives, and many of the lessons Levon instilled in her, from being a blue collar worker-type musician to constantly trying to better yourself, your craft, and your knowledge.Get more access and support this show by subscribing to our Patreon, right here.Links:Amy HelmOlabelleEp 57 Larry Campbell + Teresa WilliamsEp 73 Edwin McCainLevon HelmSteely DanRick DankoLevon Helm StudiosEp 12 Leyla McCallaLevon's Midnight RambleClick here to watch this conversation on YouTube.Social Media:The Other 22 Hours InstagramThe Other 22 Hours TikTokMichaela Anne InstagramAaron Shafer-Haiss InstagramAll music written, performed, and produced by Aaron Shafer-Haiss.
