LeonSieb ,

Thanks!

Thanks so much for this, Craig! I find your podcast really inspiring and listen to it really often.
Small tip. You should get Ryan Lerman on here! He is the guy from Scary Pockets, tours with Michael Bublé and Ben Folds, has multiple of his own CD’s out and also plays with and writes for Vulfpeck. He’s one of the top LA guys I think and everybody should get to know him!
Thanks again Craig and keep up the good work!
