About this episode

Atlanta, Georgia is a cultural capital of the South with one of the most happening music scenes in the country. It’s a city of lively stories and unforgettable characters. All of which you’d miss if you never leave your hotel. In this episode, Janet invites you to venture out to the city’s Little Five Points neighborhood where streets overflow with hip eateries and retailers, including Moods Music, where owner Darryl Harris brings vinyl records, chill vibes, and a rich personal history to the Atlanta underground. An instant favorite of locals and celebrities like Questlove, the story of Moods is a story of passion and authenticity, and how vital they are to success.

Offsite Adventures is a Masters of Scale Production presented in alliance with Capital One Business

Special thanks to Jodine Dorcé, Divine Rocker, and Darryl Harris of Moods Music
