The Realest Interview I’ve Ever Done!

Posted on by Leave a comment

I had the chance to return to The Poptimist podcast this week, hosted by my friend Taylor Berryman. One thing I admire about Taylor is his fearlessness to approach topics within the music industry that everyone’s *thinking* about — but hesitates to *talk* about.

We showed no hesitation on this episode! In this conversation, we cover a variety of topics informed by the Nashville music industry and our individual creative journeys, including:

  • The importance of building your creative ecosystem from your own true values.
  • The Art of Frame Control: How to keep your cool in times of conflict and high-pressure moments.
  • Too many Homelanders, not enough heroes: The difference between living in service, versus using service as a mask for self-interest.
  • And, of course… a discussion about the 2025 Major League Baseball season!

WrestleMania Rumor Mill and Other Tomfoolery (Quinn Spinn OG Fam Edition)

Posted on by Leave a comment

Scotty Rock and JD are back for this month’s OG Family installment of The Quinn Spinn. Today, we talk about the build (so far) to WrestleMania 40, including the return of The Rock (not “Dwayne Cena”), the evolution of Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre, and what the current dynamics mean for the rest of the members of The Bloodline. Oh, and we come up with a way for R-Truth to leave WrestleMania 40 as WWE Undisputed Champion.

This episode is more than wrestling. For starters, a 200 foot radio tower got stolen in Alabama, Scotty bought a house (in between a number of ailments), and The Quinn got roughed up during a flag football game in which he wasn’t even a participant. These are eventful times!

Hip Hop Culture & Finding Balance (ft. Raw Proof)

Posted on by Leave a comment

Josh Marinko (a.k.a. Raw Proof) is a Nashville-based hip hop artist who has spent decades immersed in the culture. Growing up as a military child, Josh lived all over the country before establishing roots in Tennessee, and has witnessed the massive changes that have taken place in Nashville and the music industry at large.

Today, we talk about those changes (and how we’ve adapted), the importance of building community, and the ways we find balance in the midst of the creative grind.

This episode of The Quinn Spinn was recorded and produced at Helping Our Music Evolve, Nashville, TN.

Solo Mission #14: Service vs. Ego

Posted on by Leave a comment

Those of us in the public eye are here because we want to be successful. There’s nothing wrong with that. However, the question of why we want to be successful often dictates how we want to show up in the world — and how we treat those around us.

Are you building in service, or are you building out of ego?
