Today’s guest is a very good friend of mine, Marcus Grant. He’s a professional drummer, musician, and educator from West Chester, Pennsylvania + soon to be Dr. Grant! In this episode we talk about musicianship, community, musicology, and how important it is to make an impact.
If you’re looking to be inspired by someone that has chosen to educate himself and influence his friendships and community in a positive way, this is the episode for you!! From playing in his garage with a self-made drum kit of cardboard boxes, to applying for his PHD, Marcus has always believed in himself and his success.
TAKE AWAYS:
Do your part, what’s meant to be will be
Be aware and give yourself time to congratulate yourself
You’re your own worst enemy but also you’re own best friend
Support goes both ways, it isn’t something you just get. You need to be able to give in order to receive.
Talent matters but kindness matters more
Music is about the interaction and being personable
