Bruce Balgaard is more than a musician and artist… he’s a visionary and

mentor. I sat down for the first time with Bruce to find out why so many of

the musicians I look up to, look up to him. The conversation that took

place ended up being one of my most cherished experiences of doing this

podcast so far and I’m excited to share it with you. 

In this conversation, we talk about:

-“Everything stands in the way of getting art done."

-The fact that all artists that are good have some level of discontent

-“Controlled Discontent”

- Why Bruce has never practiced a day in his life

- Depression

- The ultimate defense against depression. Hint: “Kubb"

- Bruce’s Definition of The key to happiness (being in the present moment)

-What’s the difference between an introvert and an extrovert? (outgoing

introverts)

-“New areas of growth only come from some kind of conflict or difficulty."

-Bruce and I discus being recovering people pleasers
