That rabbit hole somehow leads into documentaries, storytelling, acting, relationships, inspiration, and eventually a theory I've been obsessed with for years:... Why rock and roll might be the greatest artistic movement of all time. Not because it's objectively \"better\" than every other genre, but because of what happens when multiple creative people, electricity, technology, personality, mathematics, and human emotion collide in the same equation. The Infinite Equation of Rock N' Roll. As always, it’s just practice, man. I'm a firm believer that we all need to practice. Practice at our job. Practice being a parent. Practice our craft. Practice being empathetic. Practice being a friend. Practice being a leader. Practice being a better human being. That's what Talk Practice is all about.
