<p class="p1">On today's show, we're joined by David Andrew Wiebe. David's a man of many projects, and as well as writing on his site MusicEntrepreneurHQ.com and hosting the New Music Industry podcast, he is also a songwriter, performs regularly with two bands and has written a book, "The New Music Industry", soon to be followed by another all about the creative process, called "Flashes of Elation".</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">We discovered David's work when featuring a podcast episode of his "The Importance of Ongoing Self Education for Musicians" in an article on our website. And it's been a real pleasure to dive into his web and podcast archives and have this opportunity to speak with him on our show.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">In this conversation we talk about:</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">• Why performing regularly was so important to his finding freedom of creative expression and tapping into his musical instinct on guitar</p> <p class="p1">• What he recommends to beginner song writers trying to find inspiration</p> <p class="p1">• The conflict between thinking about "passion" and "inspiration" versus just getting solid creative work done day after day</p> <p class="p1">• His number one tip for musicians collaborating in a band or other creative projects</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">One thing we love about David is his ability to balance the creative spirit with the down-to-earth practicalities of being a musician. It's fascinating to talk with him and hear his perspective and if you’ve ever struggled creatively, you’re going to really enjoy this conversation.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1"><strong>Subscribe For Future Episodes!</strong></p> <p class="p1"><a href= "http://musicalitypodcast.com/subscribe-itunes">Apple Podcasts</a> | <a href= "http://musicalitypodcast.com/subscribe-android">Android</a> | <a href= "http://musicalitypodcast.com/subscribe-stitcher">Stitcher</a> | <a href="http://musicalitypodcast.com/subscribe-rss">RSS</a></p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p
