## Resource

In this episode, we dive into American Symphony — the powerful documentary that follows Jon Batiste through a year of creative triumph and personal heartbreak. We talk about the pressure of composing a genre-defying symphony, the vulnerability of fame, and how Batiste navigates love, loss, and legacy in real time. This isn’t just a music doc — it’s a portrait of an artist learning how to stay whole when everything is shifting. From jazz clubs to Carnegie Hall, from hospital rooms to standing ovations — American Symphony is a reminder that sound can be a form of survival.
