About Back On The Grind
A podcast exploring life, music, people & the stories that bring us closer. Episodes are published on the 1st & 15th every month. With intimate interviews, folk punk & my own personal experiences, I explore how we can show up for the story of life. There's no reason to do this alone, we can learn from each other, even if we make some mistakes along the way. Join me as I embark on a journey to figure out how to find meaning & balance, navigate relationships & culture, all while growing with you. We can survive our failures, learn from them & celebrate the victories we also achieve when we put in the work. I have a strong connection to the folk punk & DIY, underground music community in general, so expect to hear about that too. Some other common themes on the show are, creativity, prison, addiction/recovery, spirituality, personal authority & relationships. I hope to become a valuable part of your life through my efforts here at Back On The Grind as I bring you closer to myself & the guests I converse with.

Understanding Friendship Pt.1 w/ Folk Punk Dad & Pepe Bandit #82
Published 15 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] So there's all kinds of ways friends can come about. And yeah, it's interesting. And you were getting into talking about negotiating friendships themselves. How often do we hang out? How often do we call? What do we do together? How deep do we go emotionally or not? Are we friends that joke around a lot? Or are we friends that talk about serious stuff or both? I have some friends who I talk to multiple times a week. And then I have other friends who I talk to like once a year, but I still consider them my friend. It so often depends on particular relationships or particular people. Yeah. And that negotiation of what this friendship actually entails, it's a pretty or it is. […]
