I’ve been talking forever about music’s ability to elicit an emotional response. My guest this week is musician Rob Carli, and he’s created a special campaign that embodies this very idea – The Awesome Music Project. 

Rob and his business partner Terry Stuart created The Awesome Music Project as a collection of stories detailing music’s transformative impact on people, which eventually developed into a book and a campaign whose goal is to build a community that can accelerate mental health solutions using music. The book is incredible, full of stories from celebrities and everyday people alike, who have been positively impacted by music in some way. It launches everywhere Thursday October 10, Mental Health Day, and it’s available for pre-order on the AMP website. This is a great cause, one I fully endorse. Get your copy today!
