We chat with a bluegrass/country musician named Jimmy Rinehart on this podcast. He is a lead guitar player in this genre and we chat about how music keeps him away from the darker side of life. His new song "Frenemies" drops soon and we wanted to give him an opportunity to talk about that in this podcast. The best piece of advise we have received in a while "Eliminate Toxicity" was a key approach to his music. Living on the road in an RV with his wife, he speaks a bit about the difficulties of music production as well-but he still makes it work. We also touch base on an upcoming Luthier project with EADS Instruments. Check it out and see how he feels about the way music makes it go!

Sometimes we relive instances and situations from our past that wo we don't want to be a part of. Sometimes, those instances allow us the opportunity to be there for a friend or reflect on moments where we could help a friend in need out.
Time doesn't heal all wounds. The experience we receive during that time does. Watching people grow-is imperative. So is mutual aide to those who reach out.
