   From Future Thieves to Nashville's "Friendly Neighborhood Hat Guy" | Gianni Gibson

   Musician, creative, and hat shaper Gianni Gibson joins the Joint Efforts Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about music, Nashville, cannabis, fashion, mental health, and continually reinventing yourself without losing who you are. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Gianni grew up surrounded by music and entertainment before studying music in Pasadena and building his own career behind the drums. Eventually, he left California and took a chance on Nashville. After visiting the city for a weekend, Gianni made the move with little more than a duffel bag and a pillow, landed a job at Jimmy John's, and started delivering sandwiches around downtown on a skateboard because he didn't own a bike. That leap eventually led him to Future Thieves and years of creating and performing music. Gianni shares one especially powerful story about learning that a Future Thieves song had reached someone during one of the darkest moments of his life — an experience that helped shape Gianni's belief that artists and people with influence have a responsibility to put something positive back into the world. But music is only one chapter. Gianni talks about stepping into fashion and retail, learning the business side of creativity, working his way into leadership, and eventually becoming obsessed with shaping cowboy and fashion hats. What began by watching Nashville hatmaker Jacob Hillenbrand work eventually turned into another creative craft and Gianni becoming what he jokingly calls the "friendly neighborhood hat guy." He also opens up about returning to the drums after stepping away for more than a year, why he now spends hours playing simply because he loves it again, and why enjoying the process matters more than racing toward some imaginary finish line. The conversation moves through social media, mental health, cannabis, alcohol, LA culture, Nashville, creativity, success, and Gianni's larger philosophy of trying to leave people with a little more hope, curiosity, and happiness than they had before. Or, as a message Gianni wrote on his drum pad as a teenager put it: "Live the greatest story you've ever told." New episodes dropping regularly — stay tapped in.

   L.A. Roots to Nashville Pizza: How Cannabis Inspires F.A.B. Pizza

   Chef Afton Farnsworth of FAB Pizza joins the Joint Efforts Podcast for a conversation about Nashville food culture, cannabis-fueled creativity, entrepreneurship, fatherhood, and what it actually takes to build an independent food business. Afton breaks down how FAB grew from local pop-ups into a larger Nashville operation, why locally sourced ingredients matter to him, and how years in professional kitchens taught him to cook with instinct instead of blindly following a recipe. And then he drops one of the biggest lines of the episode: 90% of FAB's menu is inspired by cannabis use. Afton explains how cannabis has influenced his creativity in the kitchen, from developing unexpected pizza combinations to finding ways to make ingredients people think they hate suddenly work. The conversation also gets into the less glamorous side of entrepreneurship — pushing dough in the snow, building a business while raising kids, restaurant economics, Nashville's changing food scene, and why Afton says the reaction on someone's face when they love his food means more to him than chasing money. He also opens up about losing his father, reevaluating his relationship with alcohol, and learning where cannabis fits into his life as a chef, business owner, and parent. This one is food, weed, family, entrepreneurship, and Nashville culture all rolled into one. New episodes dropping regularly — stay tapped in.
