Ep 23 - Garrett Hope

“You know I’m a Seth Godin fan. When he talks about education he says one of the problems right now is we’ve been teachings students how to get the right answer. And that is the wrong way to do it. We want people who can ask the right questions. So what does that mean for music?”

Dr. Garrett Hope’s purpose is to use his God-given creativity and communication skills to entertain and enlighten, draw people together for a common cause, and to coach others to see new opportunities.                                               

An award-winning composer of film and concert music, Garrett engages with performers and audiences to tell stories and create life-changing experiences. He loves working with educational ensembles, and especially values his work with students.                              

As a coach and public speaker, Garrett empowers people to see new opportunities and take courageous action. He does this by helping them identify and break through the beliefs that they hold about themselves that are preventing them from achieving their potential. He helps creatives build networks and make strategic business decisions so they can make a living doing what they love.   

Garrett holds degrees from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, the University of Northern Colorado, and Colorado Christian University. He is a native of Colorado, but currently lives in Nebraska with his wife and daughter.

This day, October 12, 2021, marks the year anniversary of the podcast! It brings me such joy that this occasion can be celebrated with a guest who has had such an impact on me. Garrett Hope’s work on his podcast, The Portfolio Composer Podcast, helped me realize I need to do more than create music in order to start earning a living as a composer. It is the reason why this podcast exists. I have devoured so many hours of episodes and continuously learn so much from him and the people he talks to, several of which I have had on here!

As you can see, I’m completely honored to have this conversation with Garrett. We talk about many topics, including woodworking as a hobby through the quarantine, the upcoming online Garrett is starting called the Ultimate Music Business Summit (more info below), parenting and allowing children to have unsupervised free play, the value, and overall wider community reach of outsourcing, and so much more on episode 23 of the Making Noise Podcast.

I hope you enjoy it!
