Stone Gossard & Regan Hagar of Loosegroove Records

This week's guests are Brad/Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard & Brad drummer Regan Hagar. The two founded Loosegroove records in 1994 where they signed up & coming artists & celebrated a multi-genre roster with a slant to Hip Hop & Rock. Today Loosegroove is still lively & diverse with new releases from the long awaited Painted Shield, Duff Mckagan's The Living, Britney Davis, & Tiger Cub. In this episode, the four discuss why Loosegroove is not just a record label for Stone & Regan, but a vehicle for two friends to share ideas, bond & do something they truly believe in together. We hear why & how Loosegroove operates the way they do & how it lends to their longevity. Stone & Regan give us some insight into Brad's writing process & we learn why working with Shawn Smith has left a lasting impression on them.  John & Amy open the episode with a discussion on disruption. Why are we subconsciously committed to homogeneity in our personal & group behavior? Amy explains why having a novel approach typically fuels empathy & why it is so important to rethink how we do things both socially & in our professional lives. Theme music by Michael Lerner.
