In this episode, we honor one of Zach’s greatest creative inspirations, the immortal Tom Robbins. Zach writes:

“Dear Tom,

Before you left your body, I came close to you through a few different friends. I now possess an unedited proof of Jitterbug Perfume inscribed by you. I wanted to have you on the show and of course in essence I did. Since a teenager your work has served as imagination jumper cables for the flying saucer that is my soul. In lieu of a literal conversation, I thought I’d ask you some questions and have loved ones read your answers that echo from your immortal pages. Can’t wait to hang with you, Hesse and Taylor when it’s time and while I’m in a body, please give me a sprinkle of that wild imagination and courage you embodied so ferociously. Thank you for being truly you. Love you, man.”

In this episode, Zachary and Scott examine genius, destiny and responding to the call. From setting out as wide-eyed-puppies, to earning their scars in the rugged terrain of the music industry, Scott and Zach share their experiences of passion, hope, defeat and heartbreak, only to end back where they began, deeply rooted in their calling and connected to dare I say, the divine.
