## Resource

Jordan Buckley is back for round two, and what starts as a classic Tone Mob conversation slowly reveals a little more weight under the hood. In this episode, Blake catches up with Jordan about life in Better Lovers, finally taking guitar more seriously, learning from the absurd level of talent around him, and why picking the instrument back up with fresh eyes has changed everything. They also wander into the weeds on creativity, burnout, parenting, touching grass literally, internet weirdness, AI art, and the ongoing battle to stay human in an increasingly synthetic world. It’s funny, thoughtful, honest, and very much in the spirit of Jordan’s first appearance on the show. Stay tuned for the next one, or sign up for Patreon to get it early!
