I don’t think I’m breaking new ground by stating how we can all be biased when it comes to our friends right? Thankfully, I can say that’s not the case with today’s guest, my buddy Max Kerman, frontman of the Canadian rock band Arkells. You see, Max has written and released his first book, Try Hard: Creative Work in Progress (out now through Penguin Random House), and it’s actually insane just how much I love this book. Across the pages, Max hits home the sentiment that the work that goes into crafting albums, arena tours, and football half-time shows….actually aren’t too far off from well, any creative endeavor, really.
That creativity isn’t something isolated to just a small few select “talented” people, and there are numerous ways in which you can not only be creative in your work, but in your day-to-day life as well. We chat about all this and more on the first summer bonus episode before season 10 (which starts this September).
