Make Your Own Kind Of Music with Christian Fletcher
On this episode of theMangoTimes podcast, I not only continue down the discussion of The Fletchifesto, but I continue down a thread that’s been running through recent conversations on this podcast. First, with my dad (In the Smoke Shop with Pop Part 1 and Part 2) and second with my wife Kendra (Stop Dreaming and Start Doing).
This time around, I chose to sit down with my 18-year-old son Christian—a musician, a YouTuber, and a future University of the Pacific student—to talk about what it means to him to make your own kind of music in life.
But don’t let the title fool you—although we talk a lot about music in this episode, it isn’t just about music. It’s about courage, creativity, and choosing a bold path, no matter your age. Whether you’re stepping into adulthood or staring down a midlife shift, this episode is a reminder that it’s never too late—or too early—to live in tune with who you really are. Join me in the studio as we discuss what it means to Make Your Own Kind Of Music.
