The only constant in life is change.
In some instances, this change is evolutionary, with incremental, almost undetectable, steps. But oftentimes, change is revolutionary, causing disruption of the status quo. On Breaking Schemas, you'll hear from folks who have caused that kind of disruption — change-makers, category-challengers, and idea-generators who have not only navigated change but, in many ways, have rewritten the rules of the game.
Join hosts Marcus Collins and John Branch, professors at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan as they chat with business leaders across a wide-spectrum of industries about the decisions they made along their career that catapulted them to the status of “disruptor."

When Ann Arbor rap darling Mayer Hawthorne first moved to LA, he thought his hip hop producing and DJing was going to launch him into stardom. But some honest feedback made him realize that maybe his real strength was waiting in a completely different direction.
Mayer used his musical agility to put out several smash hit soul records that didn’t sound like anything else at the time. He dared to disrupt his own sound and the result was magic.
Breaking Schemas co-hosts Marcus Collins and John Branch sit down with Mayer to talk about his journey from hip hop to soul, why it’s important to bend to the opportunities that come your way, and staying true to your authentic voice.
