Ep 22 – Shrink the Giant, Morgan Handley and Wrestling Legends of the 1980s

In this episode we sit down with Morgan Handley from Shrink the Giant, tracing his path from growing up in pre-tech Austin to balancing classical flute training, basement-tape creativity, and a later-in-life return to making music with purpose.

He talks about finding identity, giving himself room to evolve, and why a beard can say more than people think.

Then we shift gears into a look back at the 1980s wrestling era, when Macho Man Randy Savage, Hulk Hogan, and Andre the Giant turned facial hair into part of their persona, influence, and storytelling.

From thoughtful conversations about following your creative pull to the larger-than-life style of wrestling’s golden decade, it’s a mix of real-world reflection and cultural nostalgia.
