Summary
The music Ben Shive creates is undeniably beautiful, but the WHY behind it is perhaps even more stunning. If you need to be reminded of the purpose behind what you do, this episode is for you. Ben had so many wise insights that Dave and I literally wanted to cheer at several different points in this interview.
Instrumental is a show about the big and small moments that shape our lives. In every episode, my guest and I start near the end of their story and work our way back to the beginning. I hope these conversations inspire you to embrace every beautiful second of this incredible and unpredictable life, because the truth is none of us knows which moment will be the one that changes everything.
