Episode 39 - Alec Kemp Interview!
If you are someone who enjoys music in any way, shape or form, you will thoroughly enjoy this podcast. You will learn all about the lack of representation within the music industry and how it leads to negative situations for musicians. These artists are often taken advantage of and struggle to make the correct amount of revenue they deserve or may end up not even owning the rights to their own music. Beyond that, the episode goes over the impact music has on people’s lives, favorite song moments, and much more!
Alec’s passion for the music industry is very obvious as he describes his personal experiences within the business while also going over his future aspirations for helping ensure artists are treated fairly. It is going to be awesome to see Alec utilize his talents and make a positive impact within the music community

Episode 26 - Foodist Films Interview!
What’s up goobinski’s! Josh here. This week I sat down with Alex and Steve of Foodist Films for an interview in their studio located in St. Paul, MN. Foodist Films is a team of visual food storytellers creating world-class food videography content that generates brand awareness, educates customers, improves SEO rankings, and dazzles existing fans. The team at Foodist Films works in a restorative environment, placing food, art, and film right in the center of everything they do.
We began talking about the business side of things - where Foodist started, how things got rolling, mistakes/advice for others who are interested in creating a business, and where Alex and Steve see Foodist going. We then jumped into more personal, behind the business topics as Alex and Steve are adventurers with plenty of exctiting stories to share. We’re excited to share this interview with everyone! Oh, and this interview is pretty RAW so you’ll hear some noises from the large open studio.
