Calvero—aka my former roommate Gabe Liebowitz—is a singer, pop songwriter, producer, and lover of therapy. We talk about the damages capitalism, hustle culture, and young success narratives have done to those of us looking for long and sustainable creative careers. He also shares a memory of working together with his late producer and friend Max Perenchio on a formative Calvero song.

Check out the extended episode at patreon.com/davemaher for more in-depth music and us-overthinking-our-social-media talk, plus his "Funeral Planning" and "Paint Your Hell" segments.
