Episode Summary:

David and Wolf share what’s new in their worlds. Wolf introduces himself and talks about his London-based independent business, Gaki Music. David is taking on his new album, Back on Solid Ground, publishing daily on DavidAndrewWiebe.com, and is looking for an interim Chief Marketing Officer for Music Entrepreneur HQ. See Careers page.

The Secret is There is No Secret

What is the secret to success? Is it a specific set of actions? A mindset? Having a great attitude and working hard?

David explores the example of Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich, in which the author described a “secret” in the introduction that everyone claims to know. David says the secret was removed. It’s not in the book!

The Shortcut to Success is the Long Road

As an artist, it may be a long time before you see the fruits of your labor. Are you willing to play the long game? Stay patient? Keep putting in the work even if it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere?

Mid-Roll

The Unstarving Musician podcast, hosted by Robonzo, features interviews with independent music artists who share their experience and expertise on recording, touring, getting gigs, the creative process, marketing, and more. It’s a podcast intended to help independent music artists better understand the marketing, business and creative processes that empower us to do more of what we love – make music.
