This week, we’re thrilled to welcome back a familiar voice and a true creative force: the one and only Andrea Love! Andrea’s always a fantastic guest, and this episode is no exception. We dive deep into a range of topics, from the LA hustle to the electrifying experience of working on Kendrick Lamar’s iconic Super Bowl halftime show stage.

Life in LA is a beast of its own, and Andrea shares her insights on navigating the city’s vibrant and competitive landscape.

Our conversation also takes a fascinating turn as we delve into the concept of “faking it ’til you make it.” Is it a valid strategy for breaking into a new field? A necessary step on the road to success? Or a recipe for disaster? Andrea and I explore the nuances of this often-debated idea, discussing the importance of confidence, the balance between self-promotion and authenticity, and the power of continuous learning. It’s a thought-provoking discussion that will leave you contemplating your own approach to achieving your goals.

Finally, we nerd out about the art of DJing. Andrea talks about her rock-infused sensibility and shares the complexities of crafting a killer DJ set. We talk about the selection process, the art of building energy, and the challenges of blending different genres to create a cohesive and electrifying experience. Whether you’re a seasoned DJ or just a music lover, you’ll appreciate Andrea’s passion and expertise.
