This one has been a loooon time coming! I talk about her more than anyone else (except maybe Paul) on this podcast and you all finally get to know her and love her! Rachel Loy is not only my producer, but one of my closest friends and probably the most talented person I know. She is a mother, musician, producer, startup co-founder and so much more! We talk about colonoscopies and cancer, deciding what to do each morning, buying and eating consciously, production styles, taking career risks, moving to Mexico during Covid, her solo music, why female guitarists are rare, Rachel’s podcast and her new project Playola!
