Greg Wilnau has been on my radar for a long time. He's a fantastic human being and someone who intentionally wants to help people. It's clear in the way that he engages with you in conversation, and illustrates the power of valuing others as a key to growth.Greg is a fellow drummer and host of the Musician Monster Podcast. He also is a coach for musicians in helping to build a strong career with gigging and growth. Get more on him at his website here.Mindset is a big part of our conversation. Personal responsibility is a giant piece of how mindsets work. It's up to you as a musician, creative entrepreneur, and builder to reach the levels of success you dream of.It's not anyone else's responsibility. Realizing that and owning it will help you take leaps and bounds towards achieving the goals you have.New Territory Covered In This Podcast EpisodeI'm going to Just come out and say something up front that is a big part of my conversation with Greg. We dive into mindset changes that delve into personal responsibility and focus that have been instrumental in my own personal success, as well as his. We also talk about religion and faith.I haven't gone down this road with anyone on the DIY Artist Route Podcast before regarding religion or faith. Honestly, I used to be a very religious person. I used to go to church 2 or 3 times a week and stay for 3 or 4 hours at a time.In my religious days, I had a different set of priorities and my concept of belief meant something completely different than it does now.Though I may not be as religious as I used to be, the focus on love as the highest value and greatest objective in life is VERY real to me. Greg and I both share this perspective on life.It's not my intention nor does it come out in our conversation to say or imply anything that is condescending towards religion or faith. Still the subject is something that we talk about early on.
