Episode Notes

Robby Robinson shows off the breadth and scope of his musical talents in this episode!

KEY TAKEAWAYS: Life is too short not to do what you love to do. Figure out what you really want to do - think outside the box. Then go for it with all the gusto in life.

Robert’s featured song in this episode is “Another One Like You” from his solo album Summer Of Love (2020) which was recorded remotely during the pandemic. The song is a love song written for Robert’s wife, but he chose this song for this episode because, as he says, he doesn’t know another one like Robby Robinson!
