Episode 1: Daniel Ho & The Little Book of Talent
Daniel is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, and six-time Grammy® award winner. He gave me the book that inspired this podcast, so it's only natural that he be my first guest. We discuss his career, various practice methods, and the theory behind The Little Book of Talent that has been an inspiration for both of us.
