My name is Brandon "B Mc-C" McCollum. The founder of the music/entertainment brand Nice Guy Entertainment and this is my podcast/show. Nice Minds is a free flowing conversation show/podcast I have with different creative people I've known or have become familiar with throughout the years. The conversations include not only what the person is currently doing or has done but also deep dives into topics such as mental health, current events, and how we navigate through the world as people and creatives.

    Episode 54 (featuring Kev Loe of Kev's Perspective) [3rd Appearance - 2nd Check In)

    Surprise! It's been many months but I'm back with another episode of Nice Minds! My friend Kev (who I've had on "Nice Minds" a couple times previously) requested I come out of hiatus and do an episode with him so I had to do it for my guy. We sat down last month and had a great conversation! Forgive me for my extended absence but I've been taking care of a lot of necessities and haven't had a ton of time for my passions such as this podcast but I hope to bring it back fully in the new year.   In this episode I'm joined once again by my friend Kevin Loesch AKA KevLoe. Kev is an artist manager, tour manager, podcaster, musician, and music biz wiz. He's been killing the game tour managing extensively for artists like Dizzy Wright and other heavy hitters in the music industry!   In this episode we talk extensively about his life as a tour manager as well as all of the anxieties and mental hurdles that come along with fully diving into a demanding career in the music business.   NOTE: The video cuts out for the last few minutes around 33:33 but the audio continues for the duration of the episode.   Check out "Kev's Perspective" on YouTube and all major podcast streaming services.... https://anchor.fm/CLMKev https://www.youtube.com/c/kevsperspectiveclm Follow @KevsPerspectivePodcast, @TourManagerKev, & his photography page @KevLography    Peep his LinkTree for all other links: https://linktr.ee/Kevloe Be sure to follow my new "Nice Guy Creative Services" Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/NiceGuyCreativeServices

    Episode 53 (featuring Nate Anderson)

    NOTE: After this episode I will be taking a brief hiatus from this podcast to focus on other areas of my life. I plan on being back in late spring or early summer though!    This episode is with my friend Nate Anderson. I've known Nate for about a decade. As a huge supporter of the local twin cities music scene and a musician/creative himself, Nate has always been someone who's been really supportive over the years and incredibly smart dude who I wanted to talk to and get to know a little more on this podcast.   In this episode we discuss a wide array of topics. We discuss how we know each other, the local twin cities hip-hop scene, his experience in a punk band, his experience as a therapist, his experience with doing podcasts, our own struggles with mental health, pandemic setbacks, struggling with work/life/creativity balance, his love for vinyl, and his ideas for a future podcast.

    Episode 47 (featuring Darrian Kaye)

    In the music industry and entertainment world, the artists and ones in the spotlight always get the shine while the managers, producers, and people helping the artists generally play the back. The industry is built like this for obvious reasons but I want to make it a point to give the people behind the scenes a little love on this podcast.   Darrian Kaye is someone who I've been familiar with since summer of 2021. We connected on Facebook, both having been students at IPR, and Darrian hired me to record an artist on their label Inner City Sound or ICS for short.  Darrian has been a musician since a young age and through their work with ICS now represents artists as a manager. ICS also launched their merchandise line as well and there are plans to expand into a full fledged clothing brand over the coming years. Darrian is an extremely determined person who I really relate to in many ways.   In this episode we discuss Darrian's background with music, our similarities with our companies, shared passions for helping artists, hopes for the future,  and much more.   To check out the song that I recorded/mixed for an ICS artist that we refer to in the episode, check that out here: https://www.facebook.com/InnerCitySound/videos/5410501665642842 Check out all things Inner City Sound and order merch on the official website: http://www.innercitysound.org Be sure to like/follow the ICS Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/InnerCitySound Check out the other stuff I have going on including beats for artists, sample packs for producers, and more: http://www.NiceGuyEnt.com​​​​ Follow me @NiceGuyEnt on IG!
