We talk a bit about exhaustion and how it manifests for each of us and how we deal with it. Then, we get into a discussion about our media diets and how each of us are affected by the content we choose to take into our heads. Are we the type of folks that can shrug off a violent or intense movie, or do we tend to 'over-feel' what is coming at us from the screen?

<p>We are so excited to have Ari Joshua as our guest on No Simple Road This week! For years, shamanistic guitarist and composer Ari Joshua has been one of those “musician’s musicians” who those “in the know” rave about but remains under the radar to the public. Struggles with substance abuse; a severe car accident; Ari’s commitment to music education with the successful school he founded, The Music Factory; and the daunting task of mixing&nbsp;have kept him in something of a creative holding pattern.</p><br><p>Ari is finally opening his vault and sharing a catalog of recordings that feature his masterful musicianship alongside such revered instrumentalists as four-time Grammy-winning artist Robert Glasper, Marco Benevento, Joe Russo, Delvon Lamarr, Skerik, and members of the Trey Anastasio Band.&nbsp;&nbsp;These tracks will be issued in various configurations, and they document a spiritual journey of a prodigious talent all-consumed by his passion for music.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><br><p>We talk with Ari about:</p><ul><li>Growing up on the east coast and receiving a scholarship to music school.</li><li>His struggles and triumphs in running his own music school, The Music Factory.</li><li>Having Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam as a mentor.</li><li>Buying the building for The Music Factory with the help of local investors.</li><li>His early connection to frequency and sound.</li><li>Overcoming his fear of sharing his art.</li><li>What it means to find our own personal 'Black Hole' and what we do with it when we find it.</li><li>Having the guts to just 'go for it' when you feel something move you.</li><li>How the Grunge Era and the Seattle music scene shaped his life and sound.</li><li>Finding focus when you have a ton of things on your plate.</li><li>Ways to serve your own creative abilities.</li></ul><p>... and so much more!</p><br><p><strong>SONG AT THE START FO THE INTERVIEW: '<em>Lest's Do It Right Now' </em></strong>(feat. John Medeski, Billy Martin, and Jason Fraticelli)</p><br><p>For more music, photos, tour info, and more head over to <a href="https://arijoshua.com/home" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.arijoshua.com</a></p><br><p><strong>INTRO MUSIC PROVIDED BY - WILL HANZA OF ESCAPER</strong></p><br><p><strong>-FREE SHIPPING</strong> from <a href="https://shoptourbus.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shop Tour Bus</a> Use The PROMO CODE: <strong>nosimpleroad</strong></p><br><p><strong>-Make Sure to visit our friends at </strong><a href="https://www.portlandwings.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Fire On The Mountain</strong></a><strong> for some amazing food at one of the 3 location in the Portland area or one of the 2 location in the Denver area!</strong></p><br><p><strong>-CHECK OUT THE NSR EXCLUSIVE BETA PREVIEW OF </strong><a href="https://venuellama.com/nsr/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>www.venuellama.com</strong></a></p><br><p><strong><em>MUSIC IN THE COMMERCIALS BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:</em></strong></p><p><a href="https://www.circlesaroundthesun.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>CIRCLES AROUND THE SUN</em></strong></a></p><br><p><strong><em>OUTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:</em></strong></p><p><a href="https://chilldrenofindigo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>CHILLDREN OF INDIGO</em></strong></a></p><br><p>No Simple Road is part of <a href="https://www.osirispod.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>OSIRIS MEDIA</strong></a>.
