The Person You Want to Be, with Eric Teplitz - Ep. 4: Guitar Virtuoso and Purveyor of "Electric Truth",  Andy Timmons
play

05/17/22 • 86 min

As guitarist for the pop-metal band Danger Danger in the late '80s and early '90s, Andy Timmons toured the world opening for Kiss and Alice Cooper, sold over a million records worldwide, and had two #1 videos on MTV.
What he has done since then speaks to his incredible versatility as a musician, his love for music of just about every style you can think of, and his endless appetite for musical growth, exploration, and evolution.
Among his many gigs over the years, Andy has been Olivia Newton-John's musical director and guitarist, and he has played on sessions and albums by artists as diverse as Kip Winger, Paula Abdul, Paul Stanley, and drumming legend Simon Phillips. He has performed with many of his own guitar heroes, including Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Steve Morse, Mike Stern, Ace Frehley, Ted Nugent, and Pierre Bensusan.
Andy has also become one of the most respected and sought-after clinicians representing Ibanez guitars, touring the world on their behalf.
And, over the years, Andy has released a collection of solo records and projects with his own band that feature his breathtaking guitar playing and keen ear for melody - the newest of which, just out now, is called "Electric Truth".

The Person You Want to Be, with Eric Teplitz - Ep. 22: Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher, and "Practicing Human", Cory Muscara
play

04/18/23 • 75 min

As a college student, Cory Muscara was headed toward a career in business/finance.
One day, however, he had an experience that stopped him in his tracks and made him question not only his career path but the point of life itself.
Around the same time, he stumbled into experimenting with meditation.
This eventually led to a serious deep dive in which he meditated for 14 hours every day for over six months straight in a Buddhist monastery in Burma.
When he returned home, he had to figure out how to integrate all he had learned into the myriad challenges and complexities of everyday life in the modern world.
Please enjoy my interview with the thoughtful, articulate, and wise Cory Muscara!

The Person You Want to Be, with Eric Teplitz - Ep. 30: Musician, Programmer, Entrepreneur, TED Speaker, and Author, Derek Sivers
play

08/08/23 • 139 min

Derek Sivers is a deep thinker, a restless explorer, a prolific creator, and an active lifelong learner.
He has reinvented himself many times over: musician, circus ringleader/MC, computer programmer, entrepreneur, TED speaker, resident of numerous cities and countries around the world, and author of books that are both philosophical and filled with highly pragmatic advice.
In this conversation, we cover a lot of ground: how to get luckier, the importance of environment, the worst day of Derek's life, becoming more self-aware through the practice of journaling, and much more.
Derek is my kind of human: thoughtful, generous, self-reflective, brimming with intelligence and enthusiasm, a pursuer of his own dreams and an encourager of others pursuing theirs, and a living reminder that there are other ways of doing things than those we are simply accustomed to or conditioned for.
