Getting Naked With Nate

Social media is addictive. This is not a mistake but is by design. I'm a week into my month off facebook, twitter and Instagram. This episode is about how I'm doing so far...and also about the biggest failure I've experienced as a professional musician.

It is no surprise to me that this conversation ended up covering such varied and interesting ground. Today's guest is Spencer Handley, a mad-skilled musician, software engineer, sensitive soul, part of the Patreon team and even my Patron! When I heard the first song, Act So, from Spencer's new music project Creature Kingdom, I just had to get him on to chat about it! Things we chat about: How Instagram inspired the song Act So Why Patreon is so important for the world right now What the heck Reality Surfing is Social media addiction Death and how it can bring us together Omg, and seriously so much more! Enjoy, I know I did 

This is a hope-full rather than hope-less episode, so please do listen even though it may seem to be a less-than-inviting topic. It's important we open this conversation up because I am certain that you know someone going through mental health challenges (maybe it's you?). We need to be proactive and compassionate with ourselves and the ones we love, because hiding this in the shadows in only a path to further pain.
