Summary
Jeff...how are ya!? Yup - Jeff Mielcarz is like no other human being I've ever met, and I'm glad. Spanning over 40 years, Jeff is one of my oldest friends and a prolific and enigmatic individual that shines in any aspect of life he focuses on*. (*he'd argue that his academic endeavors in his early 20s do NOT reflect this statement!) Drummer. Marketer. Weather Man. DJ. Event Management. The dude does it all! We talk about LITERALLY everything in this episode, and we're all over the map. A great nostalgic retrospective, Jeff is just so much fun and I hope JAM Entertainment continues to crush it!
