E20. Interview! Andy Mort Talks Working As an Undertaker and Being an Experimental Creative
About this episode
Ever wonder what it's like to be an undertaker? In this interview, songwriter and slow coach Andy Mort tells us all about how he survived in this emotionally taxing career and working through the early part of the pandemic as an HSP. But that's not all! Andy and I do a deep dive into the experimental creative process, as Andy takes us on a journey through how he designed his newly launched goal-setting course for people who struggle with conceptual goal setting, Return to Serenity Island. It is essential listening for anyone curious about what an experimental creative process looks like! Plus, we discuss being a performing musician when you're an introvert, why youthful dreams of "making it" may not really be our own, and how detaching from outcomes can have the paradoxical effect of manifesting those outcomes in your life. At the end we talk about dealing with how audiences receive your work, which will be helpful to anyone worried about putting their creative products out there and what people will think about it. Make sure to stick around after the interview for my concluding discussion of some of the points that resonated the most with me!
