Been listening for about 2 years now and I love listening to other artists hearing to their stories and inspiration makes me feel like maybe one day I can make it huge world wide like many on your podcast have. Thank you for what you do Eric sometimes listening to your podcast is the godwink I needed to get me through the day

Updated to add I still love this podcast after however many years I've been listening to it! I love the casual, yet professional conversations between Eric and the guest of the week. As a stylist of 17 years and studio owner, it’s nice to hear relatable content that keeps me inspired and always brewing new ideas. I’m taking my time with listening to them all so I don’t have to wait between episodes! Keep up the great work! - @jessjohnsonhair
