Description
The desire to live a life of adventure has led Craigums in some very interesting directions. From visiting every continent (and living as frugally as possible while on the road), to becoming an air guitar champion, coach and mentor, to working for a huge corporation by accident, his life and career are full of ‘why not?’ moments that have turned into fascinating stories and incredible experiences. In this episode we talk about air guitar, the intricacies of brand sponsorship, traveling (and living) on a budget, the cult of Weird Al Yankovic and how starting a family can turn everything on its head.

17 Jon Fine - Magazine Editor / Journalist ( Bitch Magnet / Vineland / Coptic Light ): Jon formed Bitch Magnet while in college at Oberlin, and continued to play nearly constantly through his twenties and thirties. But when a moment of “what the fuck am I doing” hit him when he was nearly 40 years old, he committed himself to finding gainful employment - turning his occasional freelance writing into a full-time job in the publishing world. As he rose up the ranks in the industry, he found work at AdAge, Businessweek and as the acting Editor in Chief of Inc. magazine. In our conversation we talk about growing up in the punk/hardcore scene, finding a “real” job, writing a memoir, winning a James Beard award and continuing to play and tour on a more part-time basis as your career takes off, Jon is candid, smart and hilarious about it all. Jon has the ability to clearly communicate the experience all of our guests share and why they’re at where they’re at now. If you only listen to one Kil by Killed by Desk
