Down the Rabbit Hole with David Usher

I recently flew to Montreal to be on location to record an episode of my podcast Design Masters Canada, with David Usher. For those of you that don't know, David is the lead singer of the rock band Moist, has sold more than 1.4 million albums worldwide, sung in 3 languages, has a best-selling book called "Let The Elephants Run" and is just a really cool guy. The weather in Montreal was crappy, but the conversation was great. We talked about a number of topics including the environment and David's concern about climate change, his recent presentations about creativity and of course, music.

It was a lot of fun to talk to David and nice to see a Canadian rockstar so approachable! Check out the podcast!
