On this episode we talk to Logan about his trajectory from being a musician, moving to Nashville, trying to break into the music industry and then realizing that musicians need more then just skill- they need a space to get inspired, just like in a crossfit gym, where people push each other to be better. And Logan has created this big time.
Logan’s story about how he has brought HOME to life is nothing short of amazing but comes to show that when you put your mind to something, even 1.5 million dollars can’t stop you.
