What if your job culminated in euphoria for thousands of screaming fans? Or even if, at a minimum, what you loved doing most with your time was how you made a living? While our podcast hasn't reached these milestones (yet!), join us as we take inspiration from professional musician Robert DeLong, and learn more about his creative process, his journey from teaching drum lessons and playing in 6-8 bands at a time to a headlining professional musician, and what it's like to play 5 shows in 3 days across North America. We also touch on the impact of notoriety/celebrity, which parts of a career in music aren't so dreamy, the emergence of the 'musician middle class', and Robbie's advice for those trying to make it in music: "work hard, be nice to people, and have a good attitude." :-) We hope you'll check it out! #backtowork #dreamjobpodcast #robertdelong
