Good at giving, but not so good at receiving? Feeling like things aren’t flowing the way you would like in your musical life? In this episode, we explore the role of receptivity in various scenarios, whether it’s when receiving applause during a performance, compliments after the show, monetary compensation for sharing your talents, or kind offers for help. We also look at interesting research in these areas. I’m Dave Goodrich, a performing singer/songwriter/producer, and personal music coach. My life is an adventure in song and sound, and I am excited to share what I collect along the way. From the beginning, I’ve always had a deep love for music, and I‘ve spent my life creating and perfecting my lifestyle to surround it. Join me as we discover new ways to live a richer, more satisfying lifestyle in music. Together we can take your musical lifestyle to the next level! Let’s go…where music is life!
