Honestly this was just one of the funnest episodes we've recorded these guys have have such a great dynamic about them that it'll bring you in like it did us. They're a local Alternative band that has the combination of years of practicing together and years of playing together which really sets them up to be a great band. On this episode we play their latest song, talk about their music, and how they develop not only their sound but how the group developed as well.

They are going to be on hiatus for a little bit because some members are going away to the hyperbolic chamber to study their craft and become even better musicians. So be on the look out for this badn in the future and get to know them a little bit better in this podcast. Enjoy the Vibes!

 (Sac Vibes Podcast) We have the return of our first guest in im.lonley.han! Were so happy to have him back on the podcast because in the 7 short months that we've had him on there has been so much that him and collective has done. Him as an artist has performed in Sacramento, Reno, even to great clubs in San Francisco in the 1015 Folsom Club. His collective has been putting on shows and really been taking the EDM scene in Sacramento to the next level. By not only having DJs from his own collective come and perform at the shows but also DJs from across the state like DJs from 2hard and the great LA based DJ Nelle. Han talks about all the success and adversity that comes from the rapid growth that they have endured. How to run a team, how to add people to the team, and how to keep people on track and motivated. He has come back with so much experience in such a short time that he was able to add so much value for anyone looking to follow a similar path or to create a group of their own. We're more than happy to have him back on the podcast and we hope that you enjoy this podcast as much as we did recording it. Enjoy the vibes!

(Sac Vibes Podcast) Welcome back to Sac Vibes this episode we go deep into lessons that we have learned from other people. They say success leaves footprints and in this episode we go into deep dives from two great role models. The first one being Disney after Wesside came back from a vacation from Disney World he saw so many things that Disney was doing that others aren't that separates them from the rest and may also explain why they have be able to stick around and grow for so long. You may not be able to copy every little thing that a billion dollar company does right but you can take some of the over arching lessons and apply them into your business and life no matter how small the business may be. The other influence we looked at is a man that goes by the name David Goggins. If you have not heard of this titan we are happy that we get to be the ones to introduce you to him. He constantly pushes the bar on what the limitations of a human actually is. The action he takes and what he does to make his mindset impenetrable is something that anyone can copy to reach amazing heights in their life. It's good to be back and were looking forward to putting out a lot more content enjoy!
