Joining the Thieves of Nashville this week is Jacqueline from Coutelier, Nashville's only focused cutlery shop. They discuss Jacqueline's time cooking at Blue Hill Stone Barns, The French Laundry, and Benu, talk 800 year-old knife makers, and why just like fashion, culinary trends begin and end in Japan. Retail isn't dead, because knives are tactile. Broadway is wilder than Bourbon Street, says the NOLA native. And Nashvillians are very open to trying new cuisines. Subscribe to her New Orleans Saints podcast, Ward Bangin'.

Ryan and Zac sit with Nashville photographer Kept Frozen to discuss the importance of the portfolio and reputation. Professionalism leads to repeat business, especially from large, corporate clients. The Thieves talk about the technical aspects of photography and how to draft a creative brief. Work comes first for Kept Frozen, even before friends and family and usually before sleep or meals. Music City, he says, needs to show love to all genres. For creatives, school is probably overrated and overpriced.

The Thieves of Nashville talk with Jake White, founder of Darla's Bagels, one of the only dedicated bagel producers in Music City. They discuss loving your business process intrinsically, because being the best may not be what we think it is. Jake also speaks on filtering feedback as a small business owner. Some clients' opinions may not be worth the same as others. Grocery store bagels are filled with preservatives and are overly processed, which is why fresh bread products are made to be eaten day of. Many Southerners may not always recognize or value that. Jake is also the first guest to ask how the Thieves of Nashville got started. Stealing the culture. Giving it back.

The Thieves of Nashville sit with Mike Brady of Bad Mood Management. Mike is a former A&R and Manager at Cash Money Records and Universal Music Group, and he shares wild stories about Birdman, Young Thug, and many 3:00am studio business discussions. What is A&R (Artists and Repertoire)? What does a tour manager do? It's critical, Mike says, to let artists pursue what they find most interesting, but not without putting that vision into an understandable framework. Nashville labels aren't facilitating making music in terms of getting artists into studios as a primary stream of income, aren’t taking on that role. Nashville's rap scene has no unifying sound.
