What an amazing guest this episode in Ashley Tobias, Founder/CEO of Bee True To You, a school assembly program focused on anti-bullying and prevention of negative and toxic behaviors. In addition to leading that program, Ashley creates fun and engaging music with Bee True to You as well under her stage name, That Girl Tobi. We talk about her life journey, with Ashley telling us about her adoption and the impact that has had on her life's work, her stage time in the Green Day focused show “American Idiot” as well her time touring with Gogol Bordello. We close the show with a new initiative in conjunction with the FBI called “Eyes Wide Open”. Truly an inspiring artist making a hugely positive impact.
