This week on the podcast, I sat down with Matthew Parkin, a professional musician, music teacher, and self-work junkie, to discuss his journey from professional base player, to online entrepreneur.
Like so many entrepreneurs, Matt’s journey online began at the start of the worldwide shutdown in March 2020. But it was the dissolving of a multi-decade marriage that really got him set on his own journey of self-discovery. Uncovering early life trauma, and a coping mechanism that did more harm than good, Matt shares how returning to the love of music, first through in-person teaching, then in the shift online has brought him back to the celebration of life and having fun!
With my newfound obsession for all things fun, my journey with Matt began when he taught me how to play the ukulele. And the good news is, he can teach you too! But first, jump in and have a listen!
