Ady Parzentny (Hit The Road Music Studio) is back again on the podcast! This time we’re talking about his brand-new book "Audio Nomad" and the crazy journey that inspired it.

Ady went from recording bands while living the van life to eventually settling down in Barcelona, and along the way he’s learned a ton about creativity, connection, and making a career in music on your own terms.

We dive into:

• What it actually takes to build meaningful connections in a new place (spoiler: it’s not just social media, it’s real human interaction).
• Why trusting your gut can lead to some of the best decisions you’ll ever make.
• The challenges and strengths of being an introvert in this industry.
• How Ady approaches mobile recording and adapts to whatever environment he’s in.
• Why creating a welcoming vibe in your studio can be more important than having the fanciest gear.
• The mindset shifts that helped him overcome insecurities and grow personally and professionally.

This one’s not just about recording. It’s about building a life and career in music that feels right to you. 

Ady’s story is proof that you can blend adventure, creativity, and authenticity and still make a living doing what you love.
