In this episode, we dive into the nuances of networking and making meaningful connections in the music industry. Our guest, bassist Luis Espaillat, shares his insights on navigating the professional landscape, from the importance of saying "yes" to opportunities to the value of versatility and immersion in one's craft.   We explore Luis' musical journey, from his time at Berklee College of Music to his diverse collaborations with artists across genres. The conversation also touches on the challenges and rewards of touring, the role of social media in personal branding, and the art of preparation and improvisation.   Additionally, we discuss the concept of "drumming roulette" and the importance of pushing boundaries and embracing new musical experiences.

Send us a textIn our latest Hootworthy interview, we chatted with Abby, a 2023 GCA graduate who found great success through GCA's work-based learning program at Zaxby's. Abby's journey began in 10th grade when she started working at Zaxby's and later joined the Work-Based Learning Program thanks to a teacher's suggestion. This program allowed her to balance work and school effectively, earning credit hours while gaining valuable on-the-job experience.Abby set her sights on becoming an assistant manager and achieved that goal shortly after graduation. She chose Zaxby's because she loved the brand, and the Work-Based Learning Program helped her grow as a worker while still attending school. Now, as an assistant manager, she's responsible for leading a team of 8-10 people per shift, handling various challenges, and ensuring customer satisfaction. Her days are dynamic, with each day bringing new tasks and situations.Balancing work and college, Abby works 35-45 hours a week, a feat she manages thanks to the skills she developed during high school. Reflecting on her high school experience, where she worked around 20 hours a week, Abby credits the Work-Based Learning Program with preparing her for her current schedule. She believes communication is key to leadership and stays open to dialogue with her team, leaders, and customers.One of Abby's most memorable moments was meeting Zack, the founder of Zaxby's, who visited her store and had a meal. She advises students in work-based learning to go out and find a job, learn new skills, and enjoy the experience. For those who already have a job, she points out the benefits of earning credits while gaining work experience.Looking ahead, Abby hopes to graduate from college and continue her career at Zaxby's, potentially staying in the store. She gave a heartfelt shoutout to her school, the teacher who introduced her to the work-based learning program, and her company and boss for their support and guidance. Abby's story is a great example of how work-based learning can lead to success and personal growth. Stay hootworthy, Abby

Noah AsherTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Noah Asher. Noah is a young man who grew up pretty involved in the church. Some things happened, and he ended up spending a little time in prison. While in prison, Noah found his life's purpose. He also wrote a book. In this episode, we discuss how he became involved with the church; even though most of his family was not. Then we dive into some of the events that led him down a path that would eventually lead to his incarceration. We jump around a bit and discuss everything from Zaxby's chicken to Chik-Fil-A, to Eeyore's birthday party, Lupis, and prison yoga. Noah also discusses his consultant company and shares some stories from being out in the field. Finally, we get into Noah's book. It's called 'Chaos: Overcoming the Overwhelming'. Noah tells me why he wrote it, who he wrote it for, and gives some book signing tips to new and upcoming authors. Anyone who has struggled with: religion, addiction, hope, illness, self-doubt, or adversity; should check out this book. It's a sort of road map to seeing things more clearly, and a guide to pulling yourself out of that mindset. Follow Noah on Instagram at TheNoahAsher, and drop him a line at thenoahasher.com

Marriage, parenting and personal growth. You know those are some major focuses of the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Today is no different.   Donna kicks us off by talking about something, really, entirely different. She got in a fight at Zaxby's. It's a long story. Have you ever had that Kickin' sauce? You get it.   We also reminisce on some My Second Act anniversaries. The big part of it would be the tornados that seem to follow us around this time of year.   Interesting note about some of the regulations around "Super serving" the community as a broadcast product. The good thing for us now is that, without the obligations of terrestrial media, we don't have to talk about it anymore! You want local news, community, weather and activities? Look elsewhere because you won't find it here. (Pro tip: you never really got it from terrestrial before, but we'll all smile and wave)   That's really it. How long have YOU been listening?

Charles starts off admitting he didn't know the lyrics to 'Poison' by Bel Biv Devoe until he met Shireen, and now it plays at R&B HouseParty. The couple is prepping/planning around each other's schedules, since summer is on the way and now Charles' mother has moved out and their in-house childcare is no more! Shireen is back in the thick of work, with Carter now in daycare and Charles announces The Bridge Tour for R&B HouseParty, a series of free parties(0:34-4:15). Its tax refund season, so its time to talk money. Shireen notes that she's always known how to manage money. When they met, she lived at home and knew how to budget/save. They worked together so she knew how much Charles made. Charles had a different philosophy, living paycheck to paycheck. For Charles, establishing credit was a secretive thing, no one discussed it. He didn't know his mother ever hustled or struggled until he was in junior high. His brother went to prom and he had custom everything. When it was Charles' turn, his mother didn't have it. Having no money made Charles work extra hard(5:30-12:09). Charles took a job in finance because it was high paying, but was still paying the minimum on credit cards while Shireen was paying off her cards every month to establish good credit. She wasn't forthcoming in the beginning, about how much money she had. She took out a loan for grad school and didn't feel obligated to rescue Charles financially when he lost his job(12:20-18:17). Charles recalls the story told on 'Black Love' about Shireen helping keep his ego in tact while he wasn't making a ton of money. Shireen says she was willing to invest in him because she felt he would've done the same for her, that he was generous even with the little bit he did have. That thoughtfulness let her know who Charles would be with money. On her 25th birthday he used his whole unemployment check to fly out to her and take her to dinner. But then Charles would make dinner/happy hour plans and invite her, knowing that she would have to be the one to pay. Shireen would ask how it was being covered and Charles felt like it was rude. Little did she know, he was being intentional with his money(18:46-24:18). Charles was saving for an engagement ring. It was the first time he ever exercised self control. Shireen recalls Charles being a terrible recruitment candidate because he didn't prioritize the job. He had taken a lower paying job because he enjoyed it, but knew he wanted to change his approach with money once he proposed. Charles says he resented when he would visit Shireen in ATL, go to Zaxby's and she would have an attitude about paying $7 for his meal(she didnt know he was proposing soon) because who doesn't have $7?(25:55-30:30).  When Charles proposed to Shireen he had bottle girl sparklers bring him out. Shireen was overwhelmed, looked at ring like wait, where did this money come from? She loves her ring but it hasn't fit since she had Carter. Charles says he never wanted to upgrade the ring because of the sentimental value. Shireen mentions that she was still hiding money when they got engaged because now she was saving to buy him the watch he really wanted. They knew they were getting ready to pay for a wedding and then buy a house. Charles was panicked when Shireen offered to quit her job so she could move in with him and was pissed when he realized she had 30k saved. Marriage later increased the pressure...more on that next episode!(31:18-35:37)
