A few years ago I received a call from one of the most impressive people I know, @bgurley . He asked if he could interview me for his new book. He told me it was about people who love what they do. He thought I qualified and then let me rant, pontificate, blather, preach, advocate and ramble over several meetings. He somehow managed to edit it all and include it in his captivating new book. Runnin’ Down A Dream is the book I wish I had 20 years ago when I was lost and wanted to give up. It’s the perfect playbook for anyone in search to find or redefine their professional purpose. I still have immense imposter syndrome being amongst the luminaries, dreamers and mavericks in the other chapters, but last week I had the chance to meet some of them at an amazing dinner Bill threw for us and they couldn’t have been cooler 🙏🏼 @dhmeyer@tfadell
Also special thanks to @wesleyschultz for writing my intro ❤️
Thanks for the ride Bill. It was an honor.
I promise it’s worth the read
Happy to announce this great human and groove wizard was named the new @newportjazzfest Artistic Director today. Means a lot to have him on the team. Welcome aboard @natesmithdrums Let the games begins 🎵🙏🏼❤️
Hayley Williams has a surprising pick for the most punk music fest out there.
@yelyahwilliams (and friends!) will be performing at the 2026 @newportfolkfest , after raving about it on the Popcast podcast. The rest of the lineup will be announced at a later date, but come on, Hayley alone makes it worth it.

We have the best photogs in all of music at the fort for @newportfolkfest and you clearly see from my Polaroids that I am not one of them and I should keep my day job.
