Came for drums, got so much more

Tuned in as a drum student. Ended up getting seriously valuable career advice, I don’t work in music. I’m a teacher, public speaker & social media user for work. Never expected these precise things to be brought up on a drum podcast. I got more nuggets of wisdom about these things than whole audio books on education.

Mike & Eddy, love your angle here. Massive help and huge thanks for what your doing!
