Christian Campbell
We identify some key components of adversity in any pursuit: hard work is not an entitlement to success, recognizing controllable elements when planning, and accepting the risk of uncontrollable elements when executing a plan.
Christian sparred with UFC Champion Nate Diaz during his prep for Jake Paul. He is attending a team training in Australia soon too so this is a very exciting time to speak with him!

Coco Peila (2 of 2)
We are back for part 2 with MC, vocalist, songwriter, producer, and cultural organizer Coco Piela. If you didn't catch part 1 last week go back and hear what you missed first! Her new EP just dropped this month. It's Called "Confessions of a Black Feminist Rapper Part 3".
She is probably best known right now for an amazing song about reproductive justice called "I Am Jane Roe". She weaves through pop culture and political history addressing the overturning of Roe V Wade. Coco was featured in an article by KQED in June discussing the song and the long history of hip-hop artists weighing in on the subject of reproductive rights.
She is the founder of Black Gold Movement, a grassroots organization whose mission is to reverse the flow of resources from the West back to Africa along the transatlantic slave trade routes through Hip Hop, Storytelling, and music of the African Diaspora.

Sean Harold (2 of 2)
Today I’m back with part 2 of the world of academia in music with my friend Sean Harold. Join us as we continue to discuss the illusion of meritocracy. I find it fascinating that both my most recent guests were graduate students and they both seemed to latch onto that idea. I don’t think that’s a coincidence. If you thought my outlook was too optimistic - you were kind of right. But seriously - does anybody really know what is best for the ecosystem of creators?

Sean Harold (1 of 2)
Today I’m discussing the world of academia in music with my friend Sean Harold. I know we all like to steer clear of negativity but in this instance we are walking the knife edge to bring out some of the unfortunate truths about the way our systems have devalued musicians and academia.
Sean is a phenomenal bass player. If you listen to my music you have heard his killer bass lines. His writing and performances on standup bass bring so much character to a song. He studied Jazz performance for his bachelor’s program and composition for his masters and doctorate.

Rachel Harrison (2 of 2)
We are back with Rachel Harrison talking about some of the characters and inspirations behind her book “The Return”. Rachel talks about pitching the book to a competition called pit dark on social media. We also discuss how taking feedback is part of being an artist and why it is difficult to accept that without taking it personally.

Rachel Harrison (1 of 2)
Today I’m speaking with Author Rachel Harrison about life, getting published and her debut horror novel “The Return”. I want to preface this episode with some context around artistic integrity and financial stability.
Providing a safe home and a financial foundation to live on is an afterthought for a lot of young creators. It’s common for us to live at or below the poverty line for years before acting. Recently, I’ve noticed some have built separate earning careers from their creative work, alleviating the burden of financial stress that sometimes comes with retaining artistic integrity. I once believed artistic integrity and financial stability were mutually exclusive things, but they are not. It’s okay to want a future, and a safe home, and be an artist, writer, musician, designer.
Rachel is going to tell us what it looks like to recognize the tipping point that drives many creators away from their work. She demonstrates why it is important to be open to opportunities that could build a better foundation to work from.
Come back next week as we continue the conversation about some of the characters & inspirations for Rachel’s book “The Return”. Thanks for joining me and have a great week out there on planet Earth.

Today we are continuing our talk with Rey about his work as an illustrator in Sri Lanka. We are discussing the creation of our comic book “The Synapse Factory” and the importance of authenticity in media arts.

John Michael Caldwell (3 of 3)
We’re back for part 3 with audio engineer John Michael Caldwell. In this episode we are talking about The pitfalls of social media and John shares a little about the projects he is working on right now. And we just can’t help it, there is some more tech talk about the massive scale of these film score mixing sessions that John prepares. There is so much audio data to manage they are networking multiple Mac Pros with maxed out specs just handle the playback and processing. And John leaves us with some advice.
The music video John mentions was actually an essay titled "Wear Sunscreen" published in the Chicago Tribune by Mary Schmich in 1997. It contains some of the most widely quoted lines in modern culture. It was later published as book which is still available:
https://www.amazon.com/Wear-Sunscreen-Primer-Real-Life/dp/0740777173
As a music producer, Baz Luhrmann is credited with "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)", a successful spoken word song in which he reads aloud Mary Schmich's essay with her permission. The two split the royalties according to wikipedia.

John Michael Caldwell (2 of 3)
This is part 2 of a discussion with audio engineer John Michael Caldwell. In this episode we are talking about why he decided to return to school after working in the industry for several years. This is a great episode if you are consideering whether a music degree is necessary. A lot of professional engineers and musicians would argue that it isn’t. We also discuss the church music industry as an avenue for musicians and engineers to develop their skills and establish a living before launching into the entertainment sector. John & I share some lessons we have learned over the years and the perspective we have developed from reflecting on our respective journeys.

Shane Arana
Welcome to on my own dime! Today I'm talking with Shane Arana about growing up in Northern California surfing in Point Arena. Shane is a good friend of mine that I met in the Coast Guard and he introduced me to the sport because I wouldn't stop asking him to teach me. For the record, I am very much a beginner to surfing so let there be no deception about my skills, they are very underwhelming. Shane however, is gifted and remarkably authentic which is a topic we will discuss in today's episode. Shane will share some perspective on Localism, insight on the different surf communities along the west coast, and details on his trip to cloud break off the island of Tavarua, Fiji.

Dan will share stories about what it takes to balance the massive responsibility of caring for so many vulnerable critters that require so much care. We recap the great night Dan spent teaching me how to handle an albino python that was worth more than my car at the time. So many great stories!

Carlton helps unpack how to balance the invasive presence of social media. On the back half of this episode Carlton generously shares some insight on the unique aspects of life that black fathers and black musicians are considering every day.

Braeden Rangno
In this episode I'm talking with music producer and recording & mixing engineer Braeden "Pockets" Rangno from Vancouver, BC, Canada. We discover how Braeden fosters relationships with artists and networks within his community, his approach to mixing and getting a deep low end, why he loves having the artist track in the same room as him (no vocal booths!), and so much more.
We talk about recent news in music rights with David Crosby selling his song catalogue & Taylor Swift re-recording hers and what that shows about the options writers have. Braeden also gives us some great insight into the value of music as an asset.

Daniel Mothers
Today I'm talking with Ambient Composer and Multi-instrumentalist Daniel Mothers.
Daniel has played Trumpet, Drums, and Guitar for a multitude of reputable acts in the UK since 2005. My favorite is a math rock project he performed with called "Degrasse". Currently, he is working with Franko Fraize & composing for sync.
In this episode, Daniel shares what it takes to keep a band on the road and how they made it work. If you didn't know, it takes a lot of faith in your group and everyone is frequently covering expenses out of pocket. During this interview, we experienced a poor connection from California to the UK. I'm working on improving our resources to remedy this in future episodes but for now, bear with us because Daniel has a great story to share.

Emilio John
Today I'm talking with music producer Emilio John. We are discussing his approach to maintaining consistent income using his own system that focuses on a 3-month projection. Considering the challenges of earning a bachelor's degree that honed your creative skills but did not educate you on the bigger picture of implementing those skills in the real world to earn a living wage. Emilio talks about how conservatory programs are an example of a hyper-focused curriculum and it wasn't until he started branching out into other fields of study on his own that he started to gain a lot of traction for his business. Feilds like marketing, financial planning, and other industries like technology.

Jeremy Estes
Welcome to On My Own Dime!
Today I'm talking with the President of the Houston Punk Festival, Jeremy Estes.
We are talking about how Jeremy managed to book the festival at Fitzgerald's - Houston's oldest and most recognized punk music venue. For my East Coast people, this is the Houston equivalent of NY's CBGBs.
Jeremy and I were stationed on a ship together and we used to play shows for the crew so he is a good friend of mine. He currently plays guitar for a new band called Rooftop Boxer. We also talk about the importance of charity and finding a way to serve others. For him, it's all about the music and keeping the scene thriving
We unpack the challenges of organizing the event remotely while he was deployed at sea and his approach to being a dad who encourages his daughter to realize her dream of becoming a literal rock star while also convincing her that science is cool too.
I'm your host Jason McCormack. Thanks for listening to "On My Own Dime"!
