In the latest episode of WKRP Montrose, Rob and Dennis sit down with two of the most hardworking talents in the region: Jean Sandoval and Austine Marie.
This wasn't just a gear talk; it was an exploration of how these artists built their foundations. Austine Marie shared her journey from leading church services at just 13 years old to her current role shaping the next generation as a vocal and guitar instructor at LFMG Music Academy. Beside her, Jean Sandoval brought the perspective of a seasoned vet, leaning on his extensive history as a producer and studio maven to explain why the "organic element" is the heartbeat of a great record.
Together, they dove deep into why the "hang"—that authentic social connection between musicians—is just as vital as the practice room.

Why Burned-Out Professionals Are Turning to CBD
Long hours, heavy workloads and frustrating coworkers: job burnout is on the rise. Savvy professionals are turning to CBD and its sister compound, CBG, to manage work stress and burnout without losing focus.
Like CBD, CBG is a non-intoxicating compound found naturally in the hemp plant that is known for helping to manage mild/temporary anxiety. And these benefits are backed by science: participants in a 2022 CBDistillery study who took CBD + CBG reported:
Reduced mild or temporary anxiety and tension
Increased focus and mental clarity
That CBD + CBG was more effective than other treatments they tried in the past
When it comes to quality CBD products, CBDistillery is leading the way. Non-GMO, US-grown hemp, 100% clean ingredients, and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee give you one less thing to stress about.
