From performing in large stage productions to fronting the Vi Tran Band to operating the Buffalo room Vi is a true artistic entrepreneur. Most notably he has written and produced his own show musical titled the Butcher's Son. It's the story of how he was smuggled out of Vietnam and captured by the Khmer (kami ) Rouge in Cambodia before finding refuge in a Red Cross camp in Thailand. Eventually finding himself in the middle of western Kansas. On today’s podcast, we dive into the best cover songs to engage a crow and the crazy life of an entrepreneurial-minded artist. We also spend a good amount of time on the idea of “archaeology of self” and how it can help you gain understanding and freedom in life. It was this episode that inspired the very first live #liveandcreate event which will be on October 3rd at The Rino in Kansas City, Mo.
