How did Jason's military background influence his music career?
You can live your legacy.
Welcome back to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast. For Inside Success, I am Ray Gutierrez. Joining me today, fresh off his Operation CEO episode we just filmed, is Jason Davis of the Jason Davis Band. How are you, my friend? I am good, man. How are you? Fantastic. Thanks for asking. I am elided because finally, a real artist, a musician on the show. And I was like, oh, man, this is going to be cake. We're going to just talk about the best thing ever. Music. I'm all about that. I'm all about that. But before we do, what can we learn about you in your Operation CEO episode? Give us a small preview. Well, it's a little bit about where I came from, why I do what I do, why I started playing music.
Kind of an all-encompassing, you know, beginning to end. Well, Operation CEO, which means you're a vet. Where did you serve? What's your background there? I did 25 years in the Air Force. Hell yeah, dude, Air Force. And as an officer, and it was all I could do to hang on that last five years.
What challenges did Jason face during his transition from military to music?
Wow. Wow. Walk us through 25 years in 25 seconds. So I enlisted in 95. I came out of college. I had three years done, but I felt like I was spinning my wheels. Sure. So when I was growing up, my dad was in the military. I've got relatives in the military, too. So I knew I needed to do that. And once I enlisted, I found my home, really. It was what I was looking for, I liked the structure, I liked the whole thing. So I ended up transitioning, becoming an officer, and just, you know, did the whole career thing. It's awesome that you were looking for structure, because a lot of musicians, even though musicians enjoy structure because of music composition, yada, yada, anyways. But as an artist, you don't think artist and structure, but you are quite the contrary.
You actually went to a full paid scholarship to college. That's right. And then you went to serve. A lot of folks don't do that. So my artist journey was different than anybody else's. Like most musicians who were doing the bar gigs, you know, and they started doing all that. I did that, but I also had a day job. My day job just happened to be the Air Force. Right on. So I've always been in a band. I mean, even on some of the deployment locations, they had brought in they being like the organization. Right. Right on. Gave us, donated to us a whole lot of music equipment. So my friends and I put in a band and put a band together and we played music at a deployed location. That's awesome. I was going to say, what do you think it is about music?
And it's such a dumb question, but it's a great setup because I'm thinking about Johnny Cash playing in prison and I'm thinking you being in a marching band and like there's that rhythm, that pattern, and there's that flow to music. So connect for me, indulge me if you will, connect music and serving and the similarities of formality and structure.
