Have you ever wanted to sit down with a renowned musician/producer and pick their brain about what it takes to be a pro?
Going pro is about making a decision and going to work. It’s not just going to happen for you.
That’s what Gabriel Wilson and I talk about on this week’s podcast. Gabriel is our first repeat guest, a good friend, and incredible producer with such heart.
If you’re a songwriter, musician, or creative leader (or know someone who is), you’ll love this interview.
The interview is very informal, like two friends catching up. Enjoy!

So loved this interview…the part about sowing and reaping (It’s a Kingdom principle) was so powerful. Thank you for doing it! Already signed up for some songwriting coaching! :).
