Episode Details

This week, Alexander Nakarada and I regroup to discuss motivations and statuses following the grueling Norwegian winter and my hiatus since hitting 1,000 published tracks.  Turns out, the deep freeze and hitting a major milestone have similar causes for pauses!

That said, we often connect at the right time to motivate one another in our songwriting journeys.  Urgency is a function of discipline and consistency when you're building for yourself - so having friends that help motivate and encourage are 100% the best friends :)

Come join us for our conversation!

Creative blocks and overcoming boredom
The impact of success on artistic inspiration
