Surviving the Grind — with Matt "Matty Ice" Allison

Jay sits down with his first producer hire — 15 years in the industry, six kids, and a hard-won approach to staying sane. They get real about therapy, the 7-to-7 rule that protects family time, why he learned to "celebrate the nos," treating account managers as true business partners, and riding the brutal ebb and flow of a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately business.
