The musical quality and the conscience of Alice and John Coltrane, Abbey Lincoln, Rachelle Ferrell, The Roots, Gill Scott Heron, AACM, and many others influenced her artistic approach.

My special guest on this podcast is Nat Jones. Nat’s fascinating story started in New York City where his parents were in show business and so he naturally followed that path as well. His first stage appearance was at 4 years of age, and moved to Los Angeles soon after where he appeared on TV star at the age of 7. He shared that the show biz lifestyle made him a good living, but he continued to search for true meaning for his life. He learned from his searching that the meaning happens from the inside out. His story of how he healed from crippling depression, with the help of a skilled therapist, will inspire you to never give up. His insights are profound and so in line with CoachBettyLIVE.com.
