It’s time to connect with your inner rockstar!

Chris Chaney has been a professional musician for his entire career, so saying he’s lived an interesting life is an understatement. This week, I speak to Chris about his career as the bass player for Jane’s Addiction and how he connects with his own inner happiness.
