Welcome to the Nick Arneson Music Podcast, where I spend some time each week talking about my process, interviewing like minded friends, and generally extolling the virtues of chasing your dream and finding true happiness. It’s a lofty ambition, and I love company. I hope this podcast is the slight nudge you needed to pick up your dusty instrument, get your paints out of the closet or even have a more vigorous coloring session with your 7 year old. Life is short and complicated, though I firmly believe we all have a purpose and I’m here to talk about finding mine and living it. Thanks for listening.

Mike Barnhill ,

Thanks for Making this Podcast Nick!

From the first 30 seconds of the first episode, I felt like Nick was speaking direcly to me. Then on Episode 2 he did for real. You'd think by listening that Nick has been podcasting for years. Funny, deep, clever, insightful and so dang real.
Got a dream, a calling....a yearning for something more? This is the podcast for you. I for one absolutely love it. Nice going man! And thank you!
