In this episode, Aaron sits down with California native and musician Asa Anderson, to reflect on the journey that shaped both his sound and his spirit. From growing up in Napa Valley to eventually settling in Southern California, Asa shares how constant movement in his early years helped him discover who he was becoming. What began as exploration gradually evolved into a calling — one that led him to study Jazz under John Clayton at the University of Southern California.

But this conversation reaches far beyond scales and structure. Asa opens up about identity, growth, and creative expression — even sharing original poetry during the interview. His artistry isn’t just heard in the notes he plays, but felt in the intention behind them. This episode invites listeners to lean in and experience 'the heart beyond the harmonies' — where rhythm meets reflection, and sound becomes story.

In this episode, Aaron sits down with Venice, California–born musician Max Fanali, an artist whose journey has taken him through the creative highs of the emo rap scene and into deeper conversations about life, identity, and purpose. Gaining recognition during a movement that included artists like Lil Peep, Max’s sound and story reflect a raw honesty shaped by experience, expression, and a relentless drive to create.

Through music, recovery, and self-reflection, Max opens up about navigating life’s ups and downs, using creativity as both a compass and a form of healing. Now focused on growth, mentorship, and continuing to create with intention, Max’s story is one of resilience and transformation.

In this deeply inspiring episode, Aaron sits down with Ecuadorian-born creative Xavi Sotomayor — a visual storyteller and artistic videographer whose journey across the Americas has shaped his craft, his faith, and his view of purpose.

Together they explore how belief in something greater has guided him through challenges and opportunities alike.

Beyond cameras and cinematography, Xavi’s story also embraces community and heart.

Whether he’s capturing moments behind the lens or nurturing young athletes on the field, this conversation is a heartfelt reminder that our stories, faith, and creativity can intersect in surprising and meaningful ways. Tune in for a powerful episode that hones in on determination, dreams, resilience, and leading with intention.
