EP07: BO BUSHNELL Nov 04, 2021

Show notes

This week I’m speaking with Bo Bushnell. Bo has had many titles throughout the course of his career, but it’s his latest that has certainly brought him the most attention. As the creator of the Outlaw Archive and the Research Institute for Contemporary Outlaws, he has made it his mission to document and record as many living members of the outlaw biker gangs that roamed Southern California in the late 50’s and early 60’s, as he can manage to track down.
It was an unsolicited email that set Bo on this path, which has been his singular focus for nearly a decade. A pursuit that has at times left him significantly in debt, homeless, and in direct odds with modern day clubs, including the Hells Angels. Not one who easily deterred, Bo has approached his task with a tenacity that may defy logic to some, but has also executed it with an intelligence that commands respect by all.
Much like the bikers he is chasing, Bo has remained committed to living life on his terms. We discuss his passion for the past, the cost of his obsession, and how a twist of fate has thus far managed to keep him out of harm’s way. Bob Dylan once wrote, ‘to live outside the law, you must be honest’ and whether intentionally or not, it appears as though Bo has taken that line to heart. But I’ll let you decide that for yourself..

EP06: LYSA COOPER Oct 21, 2021

Show notes

This week I’m speaking with Lysa Cooper. Some people are defined by their careers and some careers are defined by a person. In the world of styling, few have had an imprint as lasting as Lysa’s. From hip hop to rock-n-roll and from the stage to the big screen, Lysa Cooper knows everyone, and she’s not afraid to tell you.
Having left home as a teenager with a work ethic far beyond her years, she navigated the nightlife of 1980’s New York City creating a name for herself as well known as the clubs and restaurants in which she worked. Photographer Ellen Von Unwerth recognized and encouraged Lysa’s aesthetic talents early on, setting the stage for a life and career that can only be described as legendary.
While the mark she has left on fashion and entertainment is undeniable, it’s Lysa’s natural ability to cut through the noise and fondness for connection, that has allowed her to create a global community of people from every walk of life, which she describes as her true abundance, and is seemingly a nod to her Quaker upbringing.
As she embraces the latest chapter of her story as a medicinal healer, we discuss the importance of not being attached to one identity of yourself, the changing definition of celebrity, and why she won’t take creative direction from people with bad shoes.
Please sit back and enjoy the one and only Lysa Cooper on The Days Between..

EP05: AMBER FARR Oct 06, 2021

Show notes

This week I’m speaking with Amber Farr. As a clothing designer and CEO Amber will tell you her primary goal is to spark joy, but don’t let her modest demeanor fool you. Armed with little more than a naturally competitive instinct and an eye for fit, Amber took her line Flynn Skye from the living room to over a million dollars in sales in just 2 years. A success made all the more impressive having had no formal education in business or fashion.
Amber was one of the first to realize and then harness the marketing power of Instagram and in the process launched the careers of some of the biggest names in modeling today. A move that helped to define what would become the influencer economy. Her natural business sense is eclipsed only by her gift for design, which has enabled her to create a distinct look that is often imitated but never duplicated, though many brands have tried.
As mounting pressure from the industry to produce more and faster took her farther away from her ‘why’ she became disillusioned with the emotional and environmental impact of fast fashion, and made a choice that would surprise many, but ultimately stayed true to her initial passion. Never one to let the fear of the unknown stop her, Amber shares her latest venture, the value of collaboration, and why it’s always important to bet on yourself.
So with that, here’s Amber Farr on The Days Between..

EP04: SHERRE HIRSCH Sep 22, 2021

Show notes

This week I’m speaking with Rabbi Sherre Hirsch. From Sunday mornings spent preaching to the shoes in her closet as a child, to becoming the first female rabbi of the largest conservative synagogue in Los Angeles, Sherre has dedicated her life to sharing Jewish wisdom with the world.
A best selling author two times over, her practical and human approach to spirituality and religion has made her a frequent guest of The Today Show and garnered her admirers around the world. A strong advocate of having faith in oneself, her words and council have helped shepherd countless people through life’s transitions, ranging from the everyday to the end of life.
With opinions and views that can at times seem contradictory to someone in her position, she is bold, she is brave, and she is above all else, honest. Sherre’s accessible and common sense approach to living has made her a trusted advisor to people from all walks of life and religious backgrounds, and I think through the course of our conversation you’ll come to understand why.
Please enjoy Rabbi Sherre Hirsch on The Days Between..

EP03: BUTCH WALKER Sep 01, 2021

Show notes

This week I’m speaking with Butch Walker. From cutting his teeth as a teenager during the salad days of the raucous Sunset Strip, to writing and producing power pop hits for some of the biggest stars of today, as a musician and producer, Butch has seen it all. His passion for music and a commitment to doing the work, has given him the longevity and perspective to successfully navigate the changing winds of the music business for over three decades.
As a solo artist, he is able to, in his own words ‘fly below the radar’, free of outside interference creating exactly what he wants, when he wants, and in the process, garner a loyal following willing to show up time and again to support his musical exploration.
Butch has achieved success on a level many dream about but few are able to reach, only to, on more than one occasion, have it all taken away, sometimes overnight. Relying on a Do It Yourself work ethic, he has rebuilt his career stronger every time, all the while maintaining a humility and sense of humor that is uniquely his own. But rather than take my word for it, here’s Butch Walker on The Days Between..

EP02: MIRANDA WHITCOMB PONTES Aug 18, 2021

Show notes

This week I’m speaking with Miranda Whitcomb Pontes. A self-described serial entrepreneur, Miranda’s imprint and influence on the Nashville restaurant and hospitality scene is immeasurable. There are a few people in this world who can carry themselves on their first name alone, and in my experience, Miranda is certainly one of them.
As I mention in our discussion, you could throw a rock in Nashville and it would be impossible not to hit someone who has either worked for or has visited one of the restaurants she helped bring to life. In 2012, she suffered a very personal tragedy in a very public way and not only had to endure the fallout from that tragedy, but find a way to pick herself up, and with the help of the community, continue to keep moving forward and ultimately thrive.
Miranda’s story is proof that success can be defined in many different ways and is also more often than not created through unconventional choices and taking paths where the outcome isn’t always clear, but the instinct and feeling behind those choices always is..
Here’s Miranda Whitcomb Pontes on The Days Between..

EP01: ZACH SKOW Aug 04, 2021

Show notes

This week I am speaking with Zach Skow, founder of Marley’s Mutts and The Positive Change program. I first became aware of Zach through the Pawsitive Change Instagram page, and admittedly, I had some preconceived notions about the incarcerated, but after watching their videos and stories, as well as having experienced the transformational healing nature of dogs in my own life, through my two rescues, I quickly found my perspective changing and really saw the power in the work they were doing not only to change the lives of those participating in the program, but also to shift societal perceptions as a whole.
As you will hear in our conversation, Pawsitive Change is about much more than photo ops and Instagram posts, and regardless of where you land on the greater issue of incarceration and how we as a society view, as well as treat people who have served time in prison, it’s impossible to deny that they are making a very positive impact on a very under served segment of society. And that’s not even taking into account the residual affect the program has had on the participants families, as well as race relations within the prison walls. And all of this work is made possible through private donations as incredibly they get no federal or state funding.
Zach’s personal journey is equally as powerful as the work he is doing with Positive Change, but I’ll let you hear it in his own words. So with that, here's Zach Skow on The Days Between..
