Episode 291: Hey Thanks!

Travis from Hey Thanks! is on the Chord Progression Podcast today. The band has a new record "start/living" due out on May 27th. With the release, we talk about how this album came to be, how the band got signed by Iodine Records and how that is helping them better market the album, and how Travis got over dreaded "Demo-itis." Then we talk about what would have happened if we told the band "no" to the podcast, and then do this entire deep dive into neuroscience and how positive thoughts overall can positively impact mental health in the long term. This is a trip worth taking the ride.   Find Hey Thanks!
