"The challenge is not to get addicted to the hardship." Soul family, we're back at it in full swing, and I'm happy as a kid to present today's guest: David Ramirez. David is one of my favorite singer/songwriters of all time, and his music has accompanied me through so many valleys and peaks of my life. Based in Austin, TX, David is truly one of a kind. A true artist, if you ask me. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and I'm beyond grateful for his willingness to delve into those "deeper" places of his personal history with me in this conversation. I know very few musicians today who put themselves out there as unapologetically as David does. This is a beautiful, tender, and honest conversation, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 👉 We explored a broad variety of topics such as: - Early days, struggles and the start of a career- The suffering artist - The power of vulnerability- The status quo of the music industry and artistry today - David's excitement, plans and vision for the future - Current state of the world - What does it take to create meaningful art?- Religion, faith and spirituality 🎧 PODCAST: ▶️ Website ▶️ Spotify ▶️ Apple Podcasts ▶️ Google Podcasts ▶️ Amazon Podcasts 🔗 MY GUEST: ▶️ Instagram ▶️ Website ▶️ YouTube▶️ Live in Ft.
