Wolfbeard O'Brady of Dread Crew of Oddwood

Reece Miller aka Wolfbeard O’Brady is the singer and accordionist for The Dread Crew of Oddwood, the pirate metal world’s least electric band.  I mean, they’re still super exciting.  They just don’t plug things in.

In this episode:

  • How Reece gets his accordion to fill the place of an electric guitar
  • What the heck is that crazy drum kit all about?
  • How they went from playing California Ren Faires to playing huge European metal festivals
  • What’s happening with the new album?

Sam Conniff author of Be More Pirate

Sam Conniff is an entrepreneur and author of the book “Be More Pirate”.  It’s an examination of how pirates rewrote the rules of their time and weaponized storytelling to change the world around them.  And then, how we use those lessons in our own time to make our world better?

In this episode:

  • How Sam’s business Livity worked with endangered kids to help them contribute to the way companies engage with them
  • How he used pirate publicity tactics to launch his book and is now moving into community building
  • How companies can rewrite their own rules and draft their own pirate codes
  • What might have happened if the pirate community in Nassau had been allowed to remain and develop?
