Hello everyone! Kicking off this week with a #MondayMotivation track to put us in a good mood for the new week, Harleys in Hawaii by Katy Perry.
I’m not sure about you but this song is a complete stress reliever for me! 
Soundcore Stories Podcast | What’s Your Pick? 
Instead of introducing a new episode featuring a new guest this week, let’s switch it up. We’ll let you lead the podcast! Feel free to let us know:
- Who you would love to hear from
- What topics you would like us to cover
You’ll never know, we might get a backstage interview for your chosen artist or person!
In the meantime, don’t forget to check out our interview with 7-time GRAMMY Award winning audio engineer, Brian Vibberts. If you didn’t know before, he gave some really good insights and stories about how he switched his career from NASA to working on the latest Disney soundtracks and also his experience having his hair cut during the recording sessions for American Idiot by Green Day.
