Carlton Reese
from On My Own Dime Hosted by Jason McCormack
Today, I'm talking with music producer Carlton Reese, AKA "Boom-I-Aye". In this episode, we talk about balancing fatherhood with a full time career, his musical discipline, and personal fitness. Carlton helps unpack how to balance the invasive presence of social media. On the back half of this episode Carlton generously shares some insight on the unique aspects of life that black fathers and black musicians are considering every day. I was nervous to breach these subjects but I'm so glad I did because he really welcomed my curiousity and shared his perspective and outlook on these complex cultural & societal landscapes. Thanks for listening to On My Own Dime!
