The Making of Underoath's Voyeurist (Aaron’s Personal Story) | Aaron Gillespie Interview

Where Are All My Friends | Discovering Creative Careers with Inspiring Entrepreneurs

Aaron Gillespie returns to the podcast to talk specifically about his personal experiences and favorite moments of writing and recording Underoath's brand new album, Voyeurist. This ended up being an extremely personal interview in the best possible way. He shared such an honest perspective of what it was like to write this album with the rest of the band completely from his view.

In addition we also talk about the pursuit to make honest art, our thoughts on overcoming doubt with creativity and some really great stories from the very beginning of Underoath.
