'BKTHAGR808' - Collaboration Is The Key
18/07/2023 Duration: 02h07minBKTHAGR808 and I had such a great conversation for his first appearance on Ruse Radio that I had to have him back on ASAP. Our similar outlook on separate yet parallel career paths (him a producer/drummer, me a solo artist/sound engineer/podcaster) makes for an interesting conversation about the nature of networking. We both are deeply invested in the idea of manifestation and reaching out to others in order to achieve your goals. Collaboration is always the key!

'CAMERON TYLER' - How To Navigate The Music Industry
25/06/2023 Duration: 02h13minCameron Tyler returns to Ruse Radio to discuss what he's learned throughout his years in the industry! The best thing we can do is learn from lived experiences. Cameron got locked in with Jon Connor shortly after entering the game and began taking notes immediately. One thing you figure out quickly in life is that you can't unlearn the things you discover. In my eyes, that's what makes discussions like these valuable. Once you've been put on game, you level up.
