About this Podcast:

LOYAL TO THE CRAFT is a punk rock therapy session for creatives chasing impossible dreams. Hosted by Mike Ciprari, founder of SJC Drums and creator of Loyal to the Craft, this show dives into the chaos behind creativity: obsession, anxiety, risk, purpose, burnout, community, and what happens when you bet your life on an idea. Built from decades inside the alternative music scene working alongside artists from Green Day, Twenty One Pilots, Sum 41, Panic! at the Disco and generations of musicians, creators, and outsiders, every episode is about the real stories nobody talks about enough. The struggle, the purpose, the process, the craft.
