Some of the best conversations at #NAMM happen when you're not looking for them. I noticed a shirt that said "I Support #Musicians" and couldn't help but start talking to Michelle Wolff from the Guitar Center Music Foundation.

What followed was a conversation about #music programs being the first to get cut from school budgets. About 150 grant requests every quarter and only 30 getting fulfilled. About kids who might never discover they were meant to play an instrument. About veterans who could find healing through sound but won't get the chance. And about Michelle's own journey—an #opera major whose voice was taken from her by vocal nodules, who had to rebuild her identity, and who never stopped being a musician.

Give it a listen.

P.S. Sean Martin, CISSP and I recently met with Myka Miller, MM, MBA, Executive Director of the Guitar Center Music Foundation. We have some exciting plans to support their work. More soon.

We kicked off the day with a Starbucks coffee run ☕️ and then cruised over to Guitar Center to hit up the used section! While exploring the racks, we grabbed a classical guitar and couldn’t resist jamming out the legendary “Smoke on the Water”

Today was a GREAT day! I didn’t #worked, did some time to do #gardening, played my #guitar for a couple hours, went with the kids to have #pizza, bought some #clothes, then went to #GuitarCenter to play guitars I can afford but won’t get because I’m a “responsible” #adult, then took the kids to #petsmart to see animals

Wrapping up with drinking a glass of my favorite #wine while doing dishes and waiting for my wife to get the kids to sleep so we can eat chips while watching #tv

Thank you #LORD
