I am really LOVING this series with Ricky! What an inspirational person.

[@speete5130]

Class act... as we all say, the hardest working man in show business. Rickey says the same thing at the Bass Player Live clinics every year; do the work, be a team player, and bring it. The 2015 BPL clinic was amazing. The Bass playing community are humble, yet both articulate and even fierce (Abe Laboriel) when it comes time to play. Thanks to Rickey and Scott for promoting education as you guys have clearly done the work and we all get to benefit from it if we're smart enough to listen. Happy Thanksgiving!

Just listened to the full Podcast on my walk this morning!!! Really inspiring, I loved the end of the end especially when Ricky started talking about his work ethic & the way he schedules his day/week!... I really needed to here that! because I'm just on the cusp of "Burn-Out" mode & need to get my Music/Life balance in check!!!...
Thanks again Scott! You really are doing a awesome job! Really looking forward to the next Podcast!!!... :) G...
