EXPLORING THE BIGGER PICTURE

Glen Phillips
Singer/Songwriter - Toad The Wet Sprocket
Glen Phillips is widely regarded as one of best American singer/songwriters of the last couple of decades. He rose to fame in the early 90’s as the lead singer of Toad The Wet Sprocket. They were everywhere on MTV and have sold a gazillion albums.
I’ve been an even bigger fan of Glen’s solo career. But this conversation isn’t about music, fame or music influences. Glen and I dive right into raw topics that range from community, grief, healing from divorce and the lessons learned while climbing to the top of 19,341 foot Mt. Kilimanjaro.
This is very first episode we’ve released that was recorded via Zoom (Glen was in Santa Barbara, California and me in Grand Rapids). I should have started doing these Zoom interviews much earlier when the pandemic first started. I look forward to releasing more.
