#117 Rama Mayo (Big Wheel Recreation)

Rama Mayo started a record label in high school, called Big Wheel Recreation, and worked with bands such as: Piebald, Say Anything, Jimmy Eat World, The Hives, At The Drive-In, Explosion, Jejune, The All-American Rejects, and many more. On this episode, we celebrate the 20 year anniversary for Piebald's album, "We Are The Only Friends We Have" and discuss Rama's crucial behind the scenes role which significantly contributed to the success of this record. We also talk about the early days of BWR, working with Max Bemis (Say Anything) and putting out the album, "Is A Real Boy", getting fired by Piebald & the shut down of BWR, and how Rama is applying his music business experience to his current career as the most successful cannabis marketer in America.   Rama's links & socials: www.ramamayo.com  BWR Instagram: @bigwheelrec  Rama's Instagram: @ramathomasdavidmayo  Two Week Notice Podcast partners:  Furnace Fest - for tickets & more info, visit https://www.furnacefest.us/  Follow Furnace Fest on Instagram: @furnacefest & @furnace_fest_community  So What?!
