The Guest
Dustin Lau is a musician, songwriter, film composer and producer living in Redlands California, whose work appears on everything from feature length documentaries to short TV spots. He’s performed live on stages around the world, worked with other artists as a producer, and explored a broad pallet of styles and sounds in his compositions.
The Question
“How do you calculate the risks needed to live a creative life?”
The Notes
Like many full-time creatives, Dustin has made what appear to be blind leaps in pursuit of creative opportunities. From dropping out of college to leaving behind stable employment. In this episode, we discuss his risk analysis, or a lack thereof, and try to identify what elements or ingredients were present when taking risks that gave him the confidence to choose to live a creative life.
