In part two, we trade the hammer for a banjo. Jaime and Max dive into Max’s other world as a musician with Upstream Rebellion, a bluegrass band making waves with their high-energy sound. We will find out how Max's passion for playing music came about, and all that he has gone through to be where he is today.


Max shares how playing the banjo connects with his life in construction, how performing keeps him sharp and creative, and why balancing music with building brings out the best of both.


Stay tuned—part two is all about the music, the band, and the rhythm that ties it all together.


Towards the end of this episode we will hit on questions from our Patreon fans specifically for Max!
