Question 11 // What’s the difference between familiarity and a loss of passion? (feat. Ben Gowell)
Ben Gowell (@bengowell for all you fellow Instagram junkies) is not only
one of the most professional guitarist/producer/mix-engineer/songwriters
that I know but he’s also one of the wisest people I’ve ever spent time
with. I’ve looked up to Ben for years and because of that, this
conversation goes all over the map and deep pretty quick. This one’s for
those of you out there in need of life advice from a wise older brother
who’s really been there (no pun intended)… so grab a Scotch, throw on some
quality headphones, and feel free to share a booth with us.
In this episode we talk about:
- Realizing that nobody you look up to ever feels like they have ‘arrived’
- EVERYONE had to work hard to be good, no exceptions. Everyone you look up
to had to put in time and work in that you didn’t see.
-Take chances and live an adventure. Don’t be paralyzed by future planning
-The need for healthy confidence
-Family: Thankfulness for strong supportive wives, dealing with being GONE
on the road while in a relationship and learning to be a parent while being
a musician.
- “GET ADDICTED TO THE PROCESS!”
- battling entitlement or expectation
-"The human problem with familiarity": How Ben actively reminds himself to
take stock in what he’s grateful for and his thoughts on confusing
familiarity with a loss of passion
-Welcoming different seasons of life: 'always be open to new seasons of
joy'
- “You can’t know things you don't know” - not wasting any energy or time
on regrets
- The importance of keeping your word
- Practicing awkward confrontations: it doesn’t come easy to anyone
Quotes Worth Tattooing from Ben:
"You can’t know things you don't know”
"GET ADDICTED TO THE PROCESS!”
"Always Be Open To New Seasons Of Joy"
“Don’t confuse familiarity with a loss of passion"
