He shares his journey in the animation and voice acting industry, discussing the creative process, the importance of collaboration, and the challenges of navigating the industry.

He tells how they went viral a few years ago guerrilla animating shorts for Last Podcast on the Left and what it’s like to be in a room with execs pitching shows and getting name called by Eric Andre of all people.

On This Episode of The Memo Show:

Pete Cornell joins us to talk about his new endeavor into the private musical education sector, and shares his experience opening Peak Music in Stowe, Vermont!

Pete is an amazing musician/ guitarist and went to school for it most of his life. We met while working retail and started a band together shortly after.

We discuss the creative inspirations and different teaching philosophies, the intent of building a community of music where there wasn't one, the impact of underfunded music programs, and creating a safe space for musicians, young and old, to flourish.

We also disect the Suzuki method of teaching, meet Peak Music's teachers and dig a little deeper into our musical experience together in a band during the lightning round of questions. Stay till the end!
