What the eff does "be well" mean anyway? It seems like this past year has carved out two camps, those who lead and those who don't. Those who lead are free from interruption and the rest are still waiting for someone else to give them permission to do something.
We got to sit down with Matthew Cataldo of Montreal's Sombra, a band that makes music to turn off the lights to. They've been tearing it up this past year, and Matthew shares some of his experiences that lead to the production of "Free From Interruption". We get into how mental wellbeing and health in general plays a critical part in the rock star lifestyle. He's shown the way for others to follow and invest their time into themselves, get all weird and introspective and come out the other side with a laundry list of lessons learned. Alliteration aside, this was an awesome conversation and we're excited to share this as the pilot episode of the brand, spanking new Music Fit Podcast.
Let's do this thing!
