Mitch
Mitch Proctor is a lifelong music lover. He spent his early youth on a skateboard in Kihei Hawaii, teen years as a country bumpkin, and early adult life in search of the perfect Old Fashioned. He can’t wait to be on stage again playing his brand of music equally influenced by Black Sabbath and The Cure. It is very likely that at this moment he is drinking coffee.
Mitch is the host of Ruminations From The Red Room, CEO of Ruminations Radio Network and Chief Audio Engineer and Owner of Area 42 Studios and Sound.

CCC
A man that is the antithesis of brevity, Triple C is that annoying friend who goes into the store for one thing and comes out an hour later with the sorted details of a stranger’s life and a new BFF. Interested in a little of everything and people, way too much. Always wanting to understand and know more, it’s exhausting to his friends and family who deeply hope that by him having a podcast that it will wear him down and keep them from having to be his exclusive audience all the time. They need a break, especially his wife...
Triple CCC is co-host of Brevity Box and Managing Editor of the Ruminations Radio Network.

Will Johnson
WILL JOHNSON is a Phoenix-based film critic rejected by Rotten Tomatoes at least forty times. Seriously, there is probably a restraining order. He writes for 25YL and provides freelance work both in print and on podcasts whenever those outlets are desperate enough for content. He's founded absolutely zero critic societies but he does have an impressive collection of Captain America statues, so there's that.

JJJ
Like so many flowering young men before him, The Six-Button Samurai, aka JJJ, got mixed up in that Street Fighter II life and never really looked back. By day, a button-mashing marketing manager with a penchant for social media, by night, a Shotokan in the streets, while a Gerudo in the sheets.
