Walsh Wednesday

Prior to the pandemic, there was such a high demand for nostalgia- content harking back to a simpler time, a time we could escape to and enjoy. And when the pandemic came, the demand skyrocketed. This pandemic was unprecedented, and people wanted to find sources of normalcy to get through the dark days ahead. People reminisced and turned back to familiar and comfortable things. Regardless, our desire to do the things we loved with the people we loved again was prevalent in any means we tried to connect.

Thank you for tuning into another episode of Walsh Wednesday: The Reflective Series. Today, we have musician Scott EC. In this episode, we discuss our upcoming song, “Do It Again.” The song isn’t an answer to our problems, but it is an anthem for everyone struggling, missing what they had, and looking forward to they can have again.

A theme that we have here on Walsh Wednesday is that music is transcending. It transcends beyond geography, location, and language because it captures the human spirit unlike anything else. Music, in itself, is a like a spirit that runs through all of us, and ties humanity together. It helps share stories, teach history, unite cultures, and create new opportunities. For these reasons, music transcends time.

Thank you for tuning into Walsh Wednesday: The Reflective Series. Today’s guest is my cousin, Maria Caswell. Resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, Maria studied violin at the New England Conservatory, and is a professional violist and violinist. She performs with ensembles including the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, and Voices of Music, two of the United States’s premiere Early Music ensembles. In today’s episode, I sit down with Maria to talk about the beauty of Early Music, hardships faced by orchestras during the pandemic, and how unions and law are involved with regulating virtual performances and revenue.

“I believe depression is legitimate. But I also believe that if you don't exercise, eat nutritious food, get sunlight, get enough sleep, consume positive material, surround yourself with support, then you aren't giving yourself a fighting chance.”

-Jim Carrey

“Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.”

A word from today's guest, Aileen Burke. Aileen has an upcoming memoir called “Blueberries: A Collection of Moments From a Collegiate Cancer Patient.” Today, she sits down with us to discuss many of her experiences in regards to juggling her life as a college student alongside her cancer diagnosis and treatments.

"Motivation is what gets you started, it’s that little exciting taste of a new thing that keeps you coming back because you want more. But it does wear out, no matter how much you want whatever it is at the end of your tunnel. Self-discipline is much harder…. It has to be built. In some ways, it is the most important skill out there. Master self-discipline and you can go after anything you want." (Harrison Mark)

And that is the core to a lot of what Harrison and I are about to talk about. Thank you for tuning into another episode of Walsh Wednesday: The Reflective Series. With me again is my co-host for That First Step, Harrison Mark. Today, we talk about what happened to us when the motivation wore out, and how we reacted and adapted to try to meet the needs of our goals.

We often find ourselves overwhelmed by the what ifs. "What if this doesn’t make enough money? What if this doesn’t get the traction I hope for? What if these people see me differently if I did this?" As important as analyzing the obstacles and weighing the cons are, the question you always have to ask yourself, through all that noise is, “what if this works?”

Thank you for tuning into another episode of Walsh Wednesday: The Reflective Series. On this episode, we speak an old friend of mine Aidan Burkhard. During 2020, Aidan has launched his own marketing business, and now hosts his own podcast called The Planet Creative Podcast. Besides reminiscing on the past, Aidan and I talk in great lengths about what success means to us, we get candid about the our individual grinds, and I believe offer advice and great perspectives for any of you up-and-comers, whatever your goal might be.
