Customer Reviews
Great Podcast
Progressions is a great podcast. Travis’s intros are always insightful, motivating and thought provoking. I always get a lot out of each and every one. His guests come from all facets of the industry and there is always something to learn from the discussion. I would highly recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to get more out of their career and life.
Awesome show!
This has become my go to podcast. Really helpful insights. Travis has really insightful “rants” at the beginning of each episode and is a great host with his guests, asking great questions, and let’s THEM talk. Lots of audio pods the host talks wayyyy to much, but Travis’s inputs are always well placed, and engages the host to draw more out.
Seriously well done. Thank you!
Inspirational and Informative
Travis and his guests share highly valuable information for navigating the music industry. They also discuss ways to organize your life with habits and goals to achieve your dreams. I highly recommend this podcast to musicians, artists, players, mixers, engineers, and everyone in between.
