On this episode, we meet a meteorologist who left weather behind to become a full-time saxophonist. My guest is Jeffrey, and while he still loves meteorology, making music is what truly feeds his soul. Jeffrey followed a path many of us take—getting a job for financial security, so we don’t have to worry, and neither do the people who care about us. But that path can sometimes leave us feeling unfulfilled or incomplete, searching for who we really are. So Jeffrey quit his job and began pursuing what fills his soul. For him, that meant jazz—specifically, the saxophone. We also talk about the expectation that you’re supposed to learn the clarinet before the saxophone… and why he didn’t have time for that.Guest:Jeffrey StevensonIG: www.instagram.com/@jeffrey.tsax TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@jeffrey.sax YouTube: www.youtube.com/@jeffrey_sax Host: Scottie GIG: www.instagram.com/@heyscottieg IG: www.instagram.com/@justbe.with.scottiegwww.heyjustbe.com

Welcome to a piece of one of our greatest American art forms: The Mixtape. Traditionally, a mixtape is a homemade compilation of media, typically from multiple sources, recorded onto a medium like a VHS, CD, or cassette tape. What I present here is what I call “Mixtape Therapy”—a collection of authentic conversations, with musicians and artists alike, compiled into a podcast of their inspirations, work and creative process. Just as you might share a mixtape, I share this with you, hoping they connect us in a similar way. Now, join me for some Mixtape Therapy.

On this episode, we catch up with a friend I hadn’t seen in 25 years. My guest is Alison, and in that time she’s lived throughout Asia—before returning to the U.S. and taking us along on her magical adventure with her bus, Persistence. Alison is a teacher at heart. Long before many of us were even considering life abroad, she was already doing it—teaching English in both Taiwan and Bangkok. She later applied her skills as a chef to teach cooking classes and help open a Taiwanese Tex-Mex restaurant. Always willing to close one chapter to begin another, she eventually left to find her magic bus and create her first children’s book. We also talk about how, when you travel the country in a magic bus, not everyone assumes you’re selling books.
