What Rock ‘n’ Roll Taught
Me About UX
The Lingering Effects of a Dissipated Life
My Road Life
Two years managing the Bill Blue Band “rock ‘n’
roll boot camp”
Two years managing Jimmy Thackery & the
Assassins
Three years writing concert reviews
~15 years in radio (college, commercial free-form,
public radio)
Joe Sokohl
@RegJoeConsults / @mojoGuzzi
WHAT A LONG, STRANGE ROAD
IS IT BETTER TO BURN OUT, OR FADE AWAY?
KNOW WHO YOU WORK FOR
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SHOW COURAGE
KNOW WHEN TO STEP IN AND WHEN TO LAY BACK
BALANCE IN YOUR INVOLVEMENT IS KEY
PUSH YOUR COMFORT LEVEL
KNOW WHEN YOU REACH YOUR LIMIT
HEROES ARE HARD TO FIND	
BUT MAIN INSPIRERS ARE WORTH HOLDING ON TO
NEVER LOSE YOUR PASSION
IT WILL ALWAYS GET YOU THROUGH THE GIG
Many thanks!
