What's this podcast about?
Well it started out of sheer curiosity. What is it like for a performer to be at the top of their game? Do the guests have any particular wisdom to share with student musicians? I’m also fascinated by the world of creative entrepreneurship and enjoy seeing individual freelancers becoming owners of their own flourishing businesses….
