What can entrepreneurs and leaders learn about resilience and the creative process from a couple of singer-songwriters?

A lot... if you pay attention.

We are joined by Grammy award winner Dave Gutter and the one and only Joel Thetford. Joel just released his new album, Guitars, Outlaws and Unforgettable Tales. And Dave was a writer and producer of the album. Dave too has a new album out titled, The Music Industry Is Trying To Kill Me.

Thetford and Gutter share their highs, lows, unpack their creative process and discuss succeeding in an industry where the deck is stacked against the artist.

WARNING: You're gonna want to listen all the way through because Dave saves the best for last and shares a whopper of a story at the end of the show.
