The Artist Mindset with Multi-Hyphenate Dusty Wright: Don't Let Fear Hold You Back

03/12/24 • 78 min

Dusty Wright has done it all—musician, William Morris agent, creator of a magazine, interviewed the likes of Led Zeppelin and Ron Howard, and so much more.
His story will not only inspire, but also humble every artist who hears it.
This one isn't just for musicians. It's for artists of all stripes! We dive deep into the mindset of the creator.
(Apologies for Jeanne's sound sucking in the intro. Don't worry, it's fine for the full interview. Turns out earbuds can't compare to a real mic.)

And, of course, Jeanne talks about graves. No shock there.
