Season 2: Ryan Carignan

Season 2 closes out with Assemble Sound artist & product manager and Magic Stick program director Ryan Carignan. Ryan's a longtime friend and ally in this industry, with a story a lot like many of ours, self-built and multi-faceted. Ryan tells his story of making his way through the biz, including a can't-miss, wild hitchhiking tour story with a depressed, hammered dude (also named Ryan) driving 120 mph. He also has a great tour hack about Mormon churches that you need to know. Ryan's one of the best dudes, and that shines through in this episode!
