2 time Juno Award Winning Canadian Singer/Songwriter Dan Mangan joins me to talk about the roles of vulnerability, honesty, determination and grit in bringing our art into the world. We talk about how he ‘made it’ as a musician in a landscape that is oversaturated with incredible talent no matter which way you look, how he deliberately created a vehicle to carry his work and reach as many people as he could, and he reflects on the approach he took to building his career (not waiting around to get discovered) all of which ultimately allowed him to to work with the record label of his dreams (Arts & Crafts Feist, Broken Social Scene) and build a deeply connected relationship with his ever growing fanbase.
