We’re still buzzing from recording this episode, which ending up being more like a masterclass! This is a unique interview with Stanton, where he covers a wide range of topics with absolute honesty and passion: the realities of co-owning a music venue, taking control of his own publishing and royalties, maintaining a close relationship with his daughter while building his career, the important role that therapy has played in his happiness... and he plays a lot for us too!

A special mention goes out to Nick, Stanton’s engineer, who we loved meeting here as well.

Buckle up... because this week we're asking: Why should anyone mess with women over 40?
We're diving into the unexpected gifts of midlife—from rage and people-pleasing to finding your voice, unlearning old beliefs, resting without guilt, and caring a little less about what everyone else thinks.
If you're over 40 and nodding along already, this one's for you.
Tell us: what resonated most?
