On this episode PK discusses starting fresh in Florida and how going back to school was not an easy task but he did it. Through this episode PK brings up topics that most people struggle with when trying to make changes but shows you that with small steps you can achieve whatever you set your mind to. The tale started in San Antonio with PK as a line cook at the world famous Hooters restaurant and he ends this episode with a few tears as he starts to discuss the man who probably made the biggest impact on him in his career as an audio engineer. Life is not always easy or fair, in the words of PK many times on this show, but one thing to take in as you listen to this episode is that with faith in yourself and hard work all things are possible in this world. You just can't give up, even if you fail a time or two.
Remember it takes 10 years or 10,000 hours to become an expert in your field!

How I Went From Being a Line Cook at Hooters to Traveling the World With Bands Part 1
PK and BK have both worked in the music industry (on opposite sides of the business) for over a decade. While BK still is in the music management side, PK has started over and in this episode BK asks PK a pretty big question right from the get go which sparks this multi-parts talk. PK starts the journey in El Paso and, in this episode, ends with him making it to Florida to start a new scary adventure in the music business. Now, it is only a scary tale because what we don't know can scare us but listen to how PK is able to relate some of those same emotions to his current situation with starting a new life and starting fresh in a world of unknowns.

Part 3 From Being a Line Cook at Hooters to Traveling the World With Bands
PK continues his journey discussing his first job/career in the music business and how it was not all glitz and glamor like so many might think. It was full of long days in pretty stressful environments but that was just the start. Coming up in a business that is strongly built on executing perfectly in a high-stress scenario some days makes learning and trusting your teacher hard when you are just trying to help make sure the show is going to happen that night. PK walks you through those years of wanting to be on a tour bus so bad but having to grind it out in some of the trenches of the local sound company business first.
