This is Garth Richardson! He is a Juno award-winning Producer and Engineer who began his career at the young age of 15 while working in his father’s studio. Later, he became one of the founders of The Nimbus School of Recording Arts. Garth’s unyielding focus on excellence, dedication, and passion are just a few of the reasons the artists he works with, and the albums he produces, go on to achieve great things. Garth has worked with Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rise Against, Atreyu, Biffy Clyro, Taylor Swift, to only name a few. I went into this conversation with the intention to unravel how mentorship has impacted his life. As time passed Garth went from mentee to mentor. He knows the immense value that mentorship can be and wants to deliver it to those who are truly committed to what this life is. If you are serious about this Garth wants you to know that this isn’t a job but rather it is a lifestyle. Episode theme: How did your previous mentors affect how you mentor today? Mentorship coming full circle. It is incredibly difficult if not impossible for people to accomplish extraordinary tasks on their own. Without mentorship, we wouldn’t have a lot of the magnificent art that has been put out throughout history. Humanity’s greatest strength is collective knowledge. If you want to gain a deeper understanding of how valuable mentorship is at all levels then this episode is for you! Watch HERE.Thank you for joining us, Tiernán!
