The Zach Show

This time, we sat down with Will Witt (@TheWillWitt) of PragerU. In their own words, PragerU’s mission is to promote what is true, what is good, what is excellent, and what is noble through digital media. Will Witt runs the Man on The Street Series for Prager U where he asks strangers questions like: Are The Police Racist? Can someone be Gay and Republican? Should Healthcare be free in America? I very much enjoy Will’s videos and I’m a dedicated listener to the Candace Owens show, also a part of the Prager U Network. Like myself and many others, Will has shaped his values and political ideologies overtime alongside his view of the world. In a time where a loud minority of extremist views on social media can sway the public’s actions, it’s important to voice reasonable opinions and back them up. Will does that interestingly and effectively. In this conversation, we discuss affirmative action, equal pay for women’s soccer, long-distance relationships, and porn. Not hard to see how those last two fit together. Without further ado, here is our wide-ranging conversation with Will Witt.

This time, we are bringing back one of our most listened to episodes with the lovely Jess Glynne. We’ve had many more people tune into the podcast since we released this one almost a year ago, so we’re getting down and dirty with Jess again this week. She mesmerizes the audience with a beautiful, power-filled voice and writes one hell of a song. She’s collaborated with artists like Ed Sheeran, Macklemore, Clean Bandit, and her latest album All I Am is filled with smashes. Without further ado here is our wide-ranging conversation with Jess Glynne.

This week, we sat down with Deryck Whibley, the lead singer, songwriter, and producer of the band Sum 41. I have been listening to Sum 41 since I was 12 years old and I am incredibly grateful to have been able to sit down with Deryck and have this conversation. We spoke about the rockstar mentality, the early days of the band, their latest record Order In Decline, Deryck’s journey to sobriety, and more.

On to this week’s episode. This time Cole Cuchna, host of the Dissect podcast, sat down with us. Dissect is one of the most popular podcasts out there today. In Cole’s words, “Dissect picks one album per season and analyzes one song per episode, measure by measure, word by word. Last year, Dissect got picked up by Spotify and Cole know makes a living off of creating the show, which puts him in an elite group of podcasters. But that was far from the case at the start of Dissect. Cole started the first season with Kendrick Lamar in his basement, while caring for a family, and working full time as the creative director of a coffee shop. He somehow managed to spend 20 hours on each episode to get it just right. 20 hours for the love of the podcast, on each episode, everything himself, and he had no idea how big this would become. I am a regular listener of the Dissect podcast and it was an honor to speak with Cole for over an hour. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is changing the culture. As someone who makes a living off of doing what he loves, Cole is someone that I look up to and I’m grateful that we had this conversation. I hope that this episode can add a little bit to your perspective and without further ado, here is our wide-ranging conversation with Cole Cuchna.

On this episode, we sit down with tattoo artist and painter Jason Ackerman (@jasonackerman) of Soho Ink. In Jason’s own words, he likes to make people uncomfortable. And I like exploring topics that make people uncomfortable, so let's see if I can succeed in making Jason uncomfortable, if only for a moment. On this episode, we talk about drug abuse, the weirdest tattoos Jason’s ever given, painting controversial figures like Bill Cosby and Donald Trump, reuniting with his son, and more.

On our podcast with filous, we discussed the art of giving and receiving criticism. This is something that I've struggled with on both ends. How do you give someone actionable feedback on a product or service while maintaining brutal honesty? How do you take the feedback? Here are some things that have helped me and hopefully can help you.

This time, we sat down with photographer Sam Dameshek for Round 2 in person. We had Sam come by our studio in Brooklyn and had a wide-ranging conversation. We spoke about the shoot with Camilla Cabello and Shawn Mendes, fitness, tattoos, the benefits of building long term relationships in business, and more. Sam is an absolute beast at what he does, and hopefully, this conversation can inspire a listener to pursue what they love and harness a purpose. So without further ado, here is our eye-opening conversation with Sam Dameshek.

Drax Project is our guest this week and once again, I am your host Zach of the Auxoro podcast, where speak with music artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, and other interesting humans to explore the story beyond the surface. For those of you who are not familiar with Drax Project, shame on you. Just kidding, but now you have no excuse not to know who these guys are and for good reason because they’ll only be getting bigger. In a few short years, Drax Project went from busking on the streets of Wellington New Zealand to signing to a major label, 300 Entertainment. They actually hung up, accidentally, on Kevin Liles the CEO of 300 entertainment, the first time they got a call from him. What a power move. The first time I get a call from a major podcasting network, I’m gonna hang up on them and demand a max contract. We’ll see how that works out. Last year, they released the smash hit ‘Woke Up Late,’ which Hailee Steinfeld then hopped on. It currently has nearly 50 million hits on Spotify. The group then made a music video for Woke Up Late featuring YouTube star Liza Koshy and they absolutely killed it. A couple of months ago, I had the pleasure of seeing Drax Project live at Soho House and was blown away. When they whipped out the saxophone I knew that I had to have them on the podcast. On this episode, Matt and Sam of Drax Project talk how the band came to be, opening for Ed Sheeran, painting houses, how they are inspired by The 1975, and more. For some reason, the connection was a bit spotty at certain points in the podcast. I realize that it’s not the best audio quality which can be frustrating as a listener, but it is top quality conversation. So thank you for sticking with us for this episode. We love you.

This time, we sat down with Dr. Ian Kerner, a licensed psychotherapist, nationally recognized sexual counselor, and author of the bestselling book She Comes First. Although the foundation of the Auxoro podcast will always be music, we’ve recently been branching out to include conversations from other lanes like business, sports, science, and other interesting fields. I want to follow my curiosity, even if it leads me outside of music, and I hope that you come along for the ride. What better subject to explore that curiosity than the art of going down on a woman. In this conversation, Dr. Kerner opens up on the journey through his early sexual experiences, tongue techniques, and what most guys (and girls) get wrong in the bedroom.

You are listening to another installment of Off The Record where the artists themselves tell stories, answer questions, and speak about the moments that matter. For those who are not familiar with OTR, this is a shorter form series but I think just as good as some of the full-length conversations that we have. This time, Ty James (@tyjames), an artist and producer from Indiana, talks getting girls numbers while working at Starbucks, how he keeps his confidence, and the effect his Dad has had on his music. Ty is an exciting young talent whose Instagram bio says “destined for greatness.” Without further ado, here is off the record with Ty James.
