Recorded in Nashville, TN, host Benj Gershman of rock band O.A.R. is joined by Make Wake Artists, Inc. Label Relations and Artist Management Executive, Alicia Mathews. The two share an honest conversation from both the perspective of artist and management, including personal stories from their careers within the music industry. Facing challenges early in her career and during the pandemic, Mathews reflects on the emotional toll that her work environment fostered through a lack of compassion for circumstances within and outside the scope of her employment. The toll affected her personal relationships and spilled over into the view of her immediate family, bringing up anxiety due to loss within her family. Tangents ensue as the two vivacious personalities enjoy one another's company, holding a cathartic and relatable exchange showcasing unique experiences from both music business professionals.
