Hello, Protagonists!
My guest today on CREATIVE. INSPIRED. HAPPY is Adam Met, multi-platinum recording artist (he's the A in the band AJR). He is also a professor, and now author of a new book, AMPLIFY.
Today, we talk about:
the kinds of books Adam likes to read
the process of co-authoring a book with another writer
how to outline a non-fiction book
breaking rules to build fanbases
storytelling in songs vs in books
avoiding burnout in creative careers, and
how to find your personal happiness and fulfillment in life
