Music Wide Open Podcast Dear everyone! We're happy to present our MUSIC WIDE OPEN podcast - the place for an honest and thought-provoking conversation. About music, business, life, technology and the future. For curious music enthusiasts and musicians seeking personal growth. The first ten episodes have already been recorded and are waiting to be published: once a week, every Tuesday, available on all major platforms. We begin with... EPISODE 01 - "Let's start with why" which provides background on why we started this podcast. This, inevitably, includes summarizing a few facts from Ingolf's life and our shared journey so far. It also gives a subtle glimpse of the wide array of subjects we will cover. Unlike the first episode, the next episodes will be less personal and more general, in which we will talk about complex topics, share our knowledge and experience, and open the door to two worlds: one - unknown to music enthusiasts and another - foreign to musicians but important for them. We will touch upon very human matters, we will explore uncomfortable yet eye-opening topics and we will delve into the profound nature of life, happiness, and self-fulfillment. Always keeping music and musicians as the central focus. We hope that this podcast will not only provide you with food for thought and introduce aspects you haven't considered, but also empower musicians who often feel lost. Have a wonderful day, Ingolf Wunder and Paulina Wunder   ----------------------------   LET'S START WITH WHY #1 Why we start this podcast What no one cares to talk about Our journey that led us to this point Successes and questions Mission Technology The future to come Awareness 🎙️ Hosted by Paulina Wunder and Ingolf Wunder. 💬 Share your thoughts!
