n this Thanksgiving special of the Mixing Music Podcast, Dee Kei and Lū pause to share what they’re truly grateful for — from family, friendship, and travel to growth, contentment, and the simple joy of still doing what they love. Lū reflects on a revival of his live-sound career and finding community on the road, while Dee Kei talks about fatherhood, inner peace, and gratitude for the unfamiliar quiet of contentment. They open up about long-term relationships, real support systems, and how gratitude shapes creative longevity.

The episode ends with a light-hearted discussion on AI and human experience — why technology can never replace real connection and why the most important part of our industry is still people. A perfect listen to slow down, reflect, and remember why we do what we do.

Topics include:

• Thankfulness for career and creative growth
