Show Notes
My dude Jason Mays is back, and we get into the real stuff on this one!
We talk about wearing 12 different hats (PlayJason, Working Class Music, writing gigs, Orange, a band, and whatever else gets stapled to his name this week), and what happens when “hustle” turns into straight-up burnout.
Jason breaks down the behind-the-scenes evolution of Working Class Music, why he started PlayJason as a creative pressure valve, and how keeping things authentic sometimes means stepping back, changing roles, and rebuilding the workflow so it doesn’t eat your brain.
If you've ever wondered how some folks juggle it all, this episode is for you.

When somebody asks what you do for a living, sometimes the easiest answer is simply... “guitar.”
My buddy Philip Carter from the 40 Watt Podcast is back, and this one started the way a lot of our conversations do... We were talking about guitars before hitting record and eventually realized we should probably be recording this nonsense.
Shelby Pollard of Black Bobbin is back on the show, and apparently we had some things to work through.
Zoe’s path into guitar building is a pretty fascinating one. She grew up surrounded by artists, started out as a drummer, dove deep into piano and composition, and at one point thought she might pursue film scoring. Eventually, though, she realized she missed actually making physical things with her hands.
My buddy Jason Verlinde of The Fretboard Journal is back on the show, and this time we’re fresh off the Fretboard Summit in Chicago.
