PerfectWhelm with Eric Slivoskey: The Podcast That Helps Enhance Your Life

51. Write Your Own Rhythm: Music, Motivation, and the Creative Process - Part 1 of my Conversation with Jerald Simon

In part one of this interview, Jerald and I chat about the ideas of mission and purpose and how it so profoundly impacts us as individuals and others too. 

We discuss the importance of challenging ourselves and aiming to be well-rounded by trying various activities like sports, dance, drawing, singing, and reading.

We talk about the impact that music has played in Jerald’s life, his interest in speaking, teaching, and writing about self-improvement, and also how the subjects of music and motivation connect and intersect throughout his work.
