The reason to be an original and the cautionary tale of copycats.

This episode is official a "Toddcast" not a podcast. Championship level coach Adam Todd of SUNY Canton joins us in studio. We discuss leadership and life lessons from the coach whom my award-winning book Seeds of Success was based on... Coach Randy Mills or "Coach Morgan Randall" as he is referred to in the book.

You'll hear some never before told stories, backstories and things one can only file under "You can't make this $h!t up".

This episode is a result of a listener question that was emailed in…

“Coach Bru, How do I generate more and better ideas?”

Ideas are currency, well at least good ideas are. And the ability to create ideas is just like exercising a muscle. If you don’t exercise your creativity it will atrophy.

This episode teaches you how to do it and shares a tool with you. And that tool is available here:

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.
