In the 2nd part of our conversation with indie musician Timothy Palmer, we pick up where we left off in the previous episode of The DIY Artist Route Podcast (listen to past episodes and the podcast archive here)Curiosity and questions are the driving force behind some of the best creations on earth.What drives the curiosity engine?Learn how can you strengthen your curiosity to engage with your own ingenuity and creativity to produce your best and most engaging work.When Timothy Palmer isn't making great music he's leading people in a quest for truth and introspection. It turns out that many of the answers we seek externally are found inside us through looking at our experiences and the teachers who have imprinted their brilliance on us.This conversation is an exploration of these elements so that you will take the proactive steps to become more curious about yourself, your relationships, your journey, and the work you produce.One of the key elements that comes up in every conversation I have with Tim is the depth of questions we ask each other.It's what Timothy says inside this conversation when he says,"Especially in the United States, we can't get away from the questions of morality, ethics, politics, or religion. Because even if we are not interested in that, everyone else around us is."Which is a fascinating truth. I don't consider myself to be one who spends much time in politics. Actually I avoid political discourse a lot because of the argumentative nature it has become.As you know, I'm all about harmony, unity, and bringing people together. But Timothy makes some incredible points in this discussion that pertains to this subject because avoiding the discussions that people are having is not a way to bring harmony.What do you think?There are several places in this episode where we ask you to join into the discussion. You can do that through connecting with us both on social media. We'd love to hear your thoughts. Here's where to engage and follow Timothy Palmer:Timothy Palmer on TwitterTimothy Palmer on FacebookExperience an in-depth discussion on the power of curiosity. We also dive into areas involving Fear, being known and the power of love.And we close with a little chit chat on the power of tattoos. Both Tim and I have adorned our bodies with art that represents who we are and what we're all about. Which is another way I'd love to invite you to connect with us. Share your tattoo stories (and pics if you have them) in the comments below or through social media. Hit me up on Twitter, Facebook, and Linked In.Share this episode to bring more people into the discussion. I look forward to talking more with you soon!

You've heard his music, even if you think you haven't. Timothy Palmer has been Tryin‘ to help you us all navigate the journey of the creative entrepreneur and musician for years. His song (by that same name, Tryin') is the theme song to the DIY Artist Route Podcast, a brilliant track found on the critically acclaimed Half Boy EP.On top of being a brilliant songwriter, he's also one of my closest friends.

It's his uncanny ability to relate story with philosophy and real life perspective that make him such an incredible leader and speaker.This is the first in a two-part episode where we dive deep into the philosophy of being human, in particular creative people who want to make a difference in the world. I know that's your mission and passion, otherwise you wouldn't be here.In the interest of time, I've split our conversation up into two parts. This first portion serves as both an introduction to him and his work, as well as lay a solid foundation for the role that philosophy plays in how each of us see ourselves, our role in the world, and the work that we do individually and collectively.

The Power Of Love & Creativity With Timothy Palmer On Pt. 1 Of Podcast

In part 2 of my conversation with Rob Lawrence (host of Influential Creatives & podcast coach), we look at how to prep for an interview that will totally rock.

And you'll learn how to engage with the host/interviewer so that the audience follows you and becomes your fan too.

How To Ensure Your Next Media Interview Wins You New Fans

Are you using interviews to gain more fans?
Whether it’s a media interview on a blog, a podcast, a radio show, or other platform, there are some specific steps you can take to ensure that interview not only gains you attention.
It can also win you new fans.
How do you do that?
It’s a subject I wanted to dive into with interview specialist and podcast host Rob Lawrence.
In the first part of my podcast conversation with Rob Lawrence, we talked about how interviewers in different media fields can create dynamic and engaging conversations that provide listeners with the kind of connection that leads to real growth for their work.
But what if you’re sitting on the other side of the microphone, the part where you’re the one being interviewed?
What steps can you take to prepare for an interview that is more than just a Q&A;?
When you and the interviewer connect on multiple levels, you create conversational dynamic that transforms the experience for both parties. Which inevitably makes for a more engaging, insightful, and powerful experience for the listeners.
The listener experience is your ultimate objective.
Your artistic creations are made to enhance your audience’s lives. Your outreach to media is about impacting a new audience you haven’t reached yet.
Blogs, radio shows, radio stations, streaming playlists (Spotify for example), and podcasts all create content intended to reach a specific audience that gives them an experience that brings them back.
This perspective is key to using interviews to grow your audience too.
“There’s an answer around every corner. We’re all searching for how we can do XYZ. Most of the time, especially with blogs and stuff, the how-to part is framed in the headline but inside the content itself it’s never really explained, like the actual process of how to go about doing it.
“It’s just a bunch of ideas. And ideas are great if you are naturally inclined to be able to put pieces together. But if you’re not, then having some sort of way to take these very big picture concepts and drill them down to very practical steps is really important.”
Put this conversation to work for you in getting the most out of your interviews, become more known, get the attention of influencers, and build your audience with a free strategy session today.
You’ll gain specific, actionable insights to have a fantastic interview that creates new fans and grows your connection with new people. Music curators and influencers in particular.
One killer tip is to get a sense of the audience that you’re going to be featured on because that’s what matters most and it doesn’t take much time to get a sense of who they are and have them in mind the entire time you’re being interviewed.
It’s important to know the aims of your audience, to know their why.
This is especially true when you contact music curators for placement on their platform. It separates you from the competition, and gives the curator a reason to respond to you.
You can reach music curators to get your music featured on media in this powerful book.
