Joshua Jacobs has two passions: music and helping others. His love of music started back in elementary school when he started playing trumpet. It didn’t take long for Josh to purchase a Walkman and listen to his two favorite artists, The Killers and Fat Boy Slim, on repeat for hours on end. Still, Josh wasn’t what you would call a true music ‘enthusiast’ until the year 2008, when he attended Monster Massive in Los Angeles, and had his mind completely blown by the EDM scene. The rest, as they say, is history. Ever since, Josh has immersed himself in the musical world. Now an avid music blogger and attendee to every major music show he can afford to see, Josh hopes to spread his love of music and his voice to the rest of the world.

Conscious Problem-Solving

Advice is sought often but rarely followed. Why is that? Why do we continually ask for help without ever making the effort to follow through?

The Art of Flow

Flow. It’s such an indescribable word, for it describes the motion of everything. Our Universe is constantly in motion, as it is composed of purely energy. That energy condenses into physical matter, but only when we, as observers, focus our energy of thought upon it. For most of us, at least at this point in […]Read Post ›

Living an Authentic Life

I Don’t Know You But I Love You

What a simple and fun phrase. And yet, this statement can become so meaningful when we look a little deeper. I first heard this line in 2012, when I had the pleasure of attending the incredible event: Lightning in a Bottle (LIB). You see, this was the year I was introduced to ‘festival culture’ and […]Read Post ›

Fare Thee Well

I don’t know that I could consider myself a “Dead Head,” since I’ve only really known who the Dead are since last year. My partner at the time is a huge Dead Head, and she would make her jewelry while listening to them for hours. At first, they sounded just like any other ‘classic rock’ […]Read Post ›

By now, most people in the United States (and beyond) have heard about Burning Man.

Whatever you want to describe it as, we know this much: it is a gathering of […]Read Post ›
