Daisy O'Dell Takes On The Who Vs. The Rolling Stones
This week on the pod the boys were absolutely honored to sit down with the incredible multi talented Daisy O’Dell (@daisyodell). We lead off with a classic rock battle between The Rolling Stones and The Who before we took a deeper look into Daisy’s project Soteria (@soteriaspace); advocating for community safety and well being. We discuss the importance of music festival safety and staffing issues as well as having the appropriate response teams available to handle different categories of crisis. Following that we were blown away by Daisy’s stories DJing for Prince and cutting her teeth while on the Gwen Stefani tour. There’s no way this write up could justice for what an amazing person Daisy is, just hit play.
