We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Evan Johnson a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Evan, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Are you happier as a business owner? Do you sometimes think about what it would be like to just have a regular job?
I am pretty happy as a business owner. I’ve had a regular job a very long time ago and realized I do not like working for other people. Especially those that do not appreciate the value I bring to the table. If I had a regular job right now I may be content with pay due to the security of knowing I have a consistent check coming, but the stress it brings for the pay and limits does not excite me. The last time I thought about having a regular job I was really picturing myself working for McDonalds again. I immediately got anxiety.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
Timeless Recording Studio started with a belief that the talent in Cincinnati needed a state of the art recording facility to master their craft. An audio production that mirrored experiences like those in LA, Atlanta, and New York. Officially opening on November 15th, 2014- TRS launched and established itself in Cincinnati as a recording studio that offered quality, and customizable experiences for the talent in the city. Timeless was quickly seen as a trailblazer in the local market providing a high quality, personal experience for those that booked with the recording studio. By 2017, the TRS team and clientele grew while TRS expanded to a new location in Westwood. By 2020, COVID impacted the organization and TRS began plans to transition to a permanent location that could be scaled and expanded. On March 21, 2022, Timeless Recording Studio opened the doors to their new location. Located in the Evanston neighborhood, they are just minutes away from the historic King Records building.
