Speak of the Devil with Josh DeVillier Josh DeVillier

This week I was joined by one of my friends from the US Navy.  I've known Drew for about four years and had the pleasure of working with him extensively during that time.  He has recently started his own podcasts: Down Home Dysfuntion, hosted by him and his wife, Arielle, and Getting Old with Garth, a nostalgia fueled podcast that just launched!

Monique is one of my oldest friends.  We first met each other back in our Pre-Kindergarten class at school.  Monique and I attended this very same school for the next fourteen years.  Monique graduated from high school as the valedictorian of our class, and then went on to attend and later graduate from Princeton University.  Her life after high school has been an interesting one to say the least.  She served as a writing consultant at Princeton, interned at Google, became the first Creative Director at Asian Boss, and now strives to grow her client base as a brand consultant and conscious college experience coach.  It was a blast catching up with her, and I'm so excited for you to get to her some of her stories. I hope you enjoy this episode! If you do, consider supporting me over on Patreon.com/JoshDeVillier. Til next time! 

When I met Matt back in 2016, I did not know that I would spend the next five years working closely with him, getting to know him, and watch him complete his naval career.  It was great to catch up with him as he transitions back into a civilian lifestyle.  We talk about the value of on the job training, what made us join the military, and the anxieties that come with leaving the military.  I hope you enjoy this episode.  If you would like to, consider supporting me over on Patreon.com/JoshDeVillier for as little as $1/month.

Matt is the singer, guitarist, and principal songwriter for the bands The Classic Crime and Vocal Few.  After going independent in 2011, Matt had to find new ways to adapt and survive in the overcrowded music industry.  Over the last ten years, Matt has worked diligently to cultivate an audience of extremely loyal fans as evidenced by the multiple massively overfunded Kickstarter campaigns he has launched for his various projects.  Matt's highest priority is crafting music that is honest, vulnerable, and from the heart. He trusts that the hours spent painstakingly carving out new material will eventually reward him with a product he is proud of, a mindset he carries with him as he gears up to write The Classic Crime's seventh full-length record of all new music. 

James Welford, or "Lazerzz" as he is known to his Youtube subscribers, uploaded his first youtube in video in 2011 before quickly becoming one of the most looked to creators for Assassin's Creed related content.  He has since cemented his position as a staple of the Assassin's Creed community with over 156,000 subscribers and over 43 million views.  Combine that with his work as a podcaster over the last five years, and you end up with the newly announced Four Pillars Network, a collaborative effort among many members of the community focused on delivering the best video game, film, and nostalgia related content around.  James has also conducted multiple 24 hour live charity streams aimed at raising money for things like cancer, animal shelters, and Alzheimer's.  If this peaks your interest, consider becoming a patron of As Always Entertainment. I hope you enjoy this episode!

For this week's episode I was joined by Tyler a.k.a. "Tynamite" on Youtube.  He began his Youtube career in 2012 covering Assassin's Creed related news. He is now considered a pillar in the Assassin's Creed community.  He currently co-hosts the As Always Podcast with his friend, James, and has just announced a brand new network called the Four Pillars Network, of which As Always Entertainment and many other programs will be hosted.  In this episode we talk about his early years, how As Always Entertainment got started, and his desire to keep his work life separate from his private life.  If you enjoy this podcast, consider supporting As Always Entertainment on Patreon.  Thank you for listening!
