The theme of this week’s podcast is perseverance although despite it being a longer than normal episode, you won’t need persistence to make it through to the very end. I deliberately didn’t edit too much as we touch on many topics that I want to highlight about the life of an independent artists. This week's guest is Dean Schweitzer of Tidal Wave and he very eloquently describes these difficulties including artistic integrity, the loneliness of creating, the struggle to balance writing, composition, recording, production and promotion and how it feels to reach those (mini-)milestones. Enjoy the episode.
