The Modern Recordist Podcast EP: 023 – Taking the good with the bad, doing what you don’t want to get where you want, and learning who you are, with Brad Sample
“The most fantastic stuff that stands the test of time, that people appreciate, that legitimately changes the world for the better, is when you are relentlessly and ruthlessly honest with yourself, and make the best version of what you do in this world possible.”
That is one of the many great quotes from our guest Brad Sample on this episode of The Modern Recordist.
