TJ Doerfel (also known as Sir TJ The Wrathful) is a musician in the band 'The Doerfels' and host of the 'Into The Doerfel-Verse' podcast. In Conversation #98, TJ and I discuss: life on the road with 10 siblings, his experience of grinding away in the music industry, how he came across 'value 4 value music', why he started a podcast to interact with fans and the joys of rediscovering a passion.
