In this episode Jay Gilligan and I talk about many things. A few of them are as follows.

- Frodo subscribes to Masterclass to learn about poetry and whatever else that app has to offer. Because he is doing 35 hours of driving to gigs in December 2024.

- Jay asks about Frodo's obsession with the idea that if something is fun and joyful it commonly thought of as not important.

- Decisions are made about what is deemed important.

- There is no intrinsic link between serious and important. I claim that the fun and games are also important.

- Jay points out this is mentioned in Erik Aaberg's book Cleverer than God.

- Festival time all of the time.

- Skill Difficulty risk as aspects of human interest. But not as the point of the performance. but as hooks to hold interest.

- Importance of having "Skin in the game".

- Transforming curiosity to interest to love. (An idea we have from Ivar Hacksher)

- How to keep the love for our craft and our life alive.

- Rudolf Steiner as an inspiration for Frodo as someone who was deeply interested in everything from dance, language, fairy tales, religion and beekeeping...

- Finding more depth in old ideas.

- Michael Moschens Violin for 3D space.

- you must spend time developing and keeping your passion alive. This is true for our Craft as well as in all our varying relationships. 

Practice technique, making choices, making decisions and you also need to practice how you curate and foster and nurture your passion.
