Guest Speaker Ep. 115: Navi & Melks

On Episode 115 of the Guest Speaker Series, we welcome Navi & Melks to the show. Melks made an appearance earlier in the year on Episode 92 with Bleave, and talks about how his longstanding Bar Out series has been deeply impactful in creating longterm relationships with artists like Bleave and Navi; the latter of whom recently released his album ‘Open Canvas’, which was a collaborative project produced in full by Melks. The guys both talk about their unique album rollout which included 4 separate album listening parties that happened in the same week around different parts of the state in order to provide the opportunity for as many people to hear the album as possible. Navi & Melks also discuss the impact of Lawrence’s ever-growing arts scene. In addition, Navi takes a deep dive into the scope of mental health and the importance of confiding in loved ones or professionals who can help you, while Melks discusses fatherhood and what he has learned about being a new parent. Navi & Mike also reflect on Navi’s athletic career, his love of Funko Pop figures, and so much more.
