Zion80’s Jon Madof sat down with Leo Sidran for his awesome podcast ‘The Third Story.’ The conversation covered a variety of subjects – how music and spirituality are related, what it means to create your own kind of authenticity, the difference between a job and a mission, and whether or not an artist’s work can be separated from their personal behavior – a theme that is particularly resonant today.
