Today’s episode starts off the an unexpected lesson in pronunciation and anglicization of names.
But the real story: Andrew Wang has a career rather unrelated to music. He decided to learn guitar, however, and found himself experiencing serious stage fright when he played in front of people. Ring a bell with you? Start a new project as an adult only to realize doing it in front of people was nerve-wracking.
Andy chose a genre of music that was relatively popular but with very few musicians playing it live. The invitations to play started to come in. It’s hard to say No to a cousin’s wedding.
When you keep saying Yes… where can that lead you?
Andy shares several stories about saying Yes, and has a great philosophy about sharing our gifts. AND he ties it back to retirement.
Stay tuned to the end when I ask Andy a question from out of left field!
A wonderful conversation with a delightful person.
