Writing music and touring with my band RX Bandits for 20 years has allowed me to meet tons of amazing and fascinating people all involved with music in various ways. I'm the person who asks all of my friends those weird and esoteric questions because I have a genuine interest in psychology and what makes people do what they do. Join me for my wide ranging conversations with my musical friends and peers as every episode hopes to be an expedition into the experiences, feelings, processes and perspectives of humans involved with music.

episode 44: Lauren Millar
This week we are blessed to have Lauren Millar join us at The Musicians Guild. Lauren works for Billie Eilish as her assistant and as part of the touring production team. We were blessed to have Lauren as a tour manager for an RX tour before she started touring with some of the largest pop stars on the planet and we experienced first hand how Lauren approaches work and life with the principle of balance at the forefront, and her detail oriented work ethic allows her to handle high-pressure situations with grace and precision. I really enjoyed getting to catch up with her and in this conversation we talk about some of the ins n outs of working for one of the most famous singers on earth, touring managing Skinny Puppy and getting their bus getting caught-up in a parking lot shootout on a day off, our mutual disdain for "networking", why she carries cans of refried beans in her production pelican case, what else is actually in her production pelican, and lots more! You all make the world a better place.
