Hey, everyone, this is Jake Brennan from Disgrace Land. I
want to talk to you about a new podcast from
my Heart Radio called Icons Ever wonder how our most
iconic stars get to the top, What makes them tick,
what motivates them, when and where they realized they were
going to go for it, and what skills and inspiration
they applied to their hustle. Icons showcases some of the

and survived and then learned a different way of life.

a big turning point, and Ray Charles and Fats Domino,
they you know, the revolutionized piano playing. For me, that's
