One Soul Thrust – aka 1ST – is a pure rock band based in western Canada. The lead singer/ songwriter/force to be reckoned with is SALEM JONES. She has one of the best female voices in rock – period... so good that Deep Purple’s Glenn Hughes recorded a rare duet with her. She's also a warrior in the purest sense of the word. Listen to the interview as I ask Salem about her real life as Empress of Rock.

WENDY PARR is one of the most well-respected and successful artist development coaches out there. It was so good to get to know her thinking and her approach to helping creative people succeed not only artistically and financially but also personally. She joined me from LA and I think you'll enjoy getting some inside tips she very generously shares in this winding conversation.
