Under his moniker R.M.Hendrix, Michael has released a half dozen recordings of critically acclaimed experimental, noise pop.
Their new book, Two Beats Ahead, is the product of their own creative collision between the worlds of music and business. The two were first drawn to each other by their mutual love of music and their common start-up backgrounds that succeeded in part by challenging orthodoxies in their respective industries.
Two Beats Ahead is both an entrepreneurship guide for creatives and a creativity crash-course for entrepreneurs and business professionals. Whether you’re coming to this book as an artist or an executive – or a creative spirit of any stripe – we’ll hope you’ll find new inspiration and perspectives in these pages. As we go through this journey, challenge yourself to see how you can apply these creative headspaces onto whatever you do, whether it’s shaping your own career, starting an enterprise, or bringing greater creativity into your current role or team.

About Fireside
We are thrilled to announce that Adventures by the Book has been invited to host a literary series on Fireside which will include book discussions, author talks, book clubs, special presentations, and much more.
During the course of WWII, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt instituted a series of “fireside chats” on the radio, as a way to regularly communicate self-assurance and calm during times of despair and uncertainty in our country. While once a thing of the past, thanks to the brilliant collaboration of billionaire entrepreneur and Shark Tank TV star, Mark Cuban, and Falon Fatemi, former CEO and Founder of Node.ai, Fireside chats are back, bigger and better than ever, and in a technological format that allows YOU to actively participate!
Fireside is the exclusive, invite-only new podcast platform for the next generation – a socially responsible space for us to come together in real-time to collaborate and create meaningful conversations. Together, we will engage in discussion, debate, and discourse in a public forum and make it a thing of celebration and beauty. We are ready to share our microphone with you and hope you’ll join us as we collaborate in the world’s most dynamic auditorium.
