Ask Dave How to Music

Debating whether or not to accept a gig that pays less than your usual rate? Wondering whether it might offer other possibilities that you never expected?

In this episode, we explore the idea of booking gigs that might not initially appear to be the most financially rewarding, yet may offer other benefits and lead to unexpected opportunities that could never have been imagined.

I’m Dave Goodrich, a performing singer/songwriter/producer, and personal music coach. My life is an adventure in song and sound, and I am excited to share what I collect along the way. From the beginning, I’ve always had a deep love for music, and I‘ve spent my life creating and perfecting my lifestyle to surround it.

Join me as we discover new ways to live a richer, more satisfying lifestyle in music.

Together we can take your musical lifestyle to the next level!

30-Day Power Song Lab

Wondering how to navigate the transition from pre-performance to the moment the first note is played? Looking for a ritual to serve as a bridge as you move between the different phases that make up a gig from start to finish?

In this episode, we explore the idea of making a smooth transition between the necessary—and often mundane—pre-gig tasks and the act of performing. These two phases of a show require two different mindsets, and essentially, two different identities. We discuss the concept of creating a ritual that signals the end of the setup phase and the beginning of the performance phase.

I’m Dave Goodrich, a performing singer/songwriter/producer, and personal music coach. My life is an adventure in song and sound, and I am excited to share what I collect along the way. From the beginning, I’ve always had a deep love for music, and I‘ve spent my life creating and perfecting my lifestyle to surround it.

Ready to examine your musical relationship with money and change the script? Wondering how to make music and money play well together?

In this episode, we explore the concept of plutophobia and the interesting origins behind the word itself. We also delve into the archetypal “starving artist” identity and the internal money scripts that define our relationship with money and wealth. We also take a look at the intrinsic motivation beyond money that often drives artists and other creatives to pursue their talents.

By the way, if you missed the three-part series on Money, Music & Meaning from Episodes 14 through 16, you’ll find the links included in the resources section below.

I’m Dave Goodrich, a performing singer/songwriter/producer, and personal music coach. My life is an adventure in song and sound, and I am excited to share what I collect along the way. From the beginning, I’ve always had a deep love for music, and I‘ve spent my life creating and perfecting my lifestyle to surround it.

Join me as we discover new ways to live a richer, more satisfying lifestyle in music.

Together we can take your musical lifestyle to the next level!

Let’s go…where music is life!
