Why do some musicians stay motivated and inspired, while others burn out chasing the next big win? A lot of it comes down to dopamine: the brain chemical that rewards us when we create, but can also trap us when success becomes our obsession. 

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Jeff Garrison (songwriter with cuts for Morgan Wallen, Teddy Swims, Quavo etc.) to explore how the natural pleasure seeking drug influences our creative lives, for better or worse. Along the way, we dive into fun tangents, like K-pop, humor in lyrics, and what it looks like to integrate faith into your work as an artist.

✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:
•	How dopamine impacts creativity, motivation, and happiness
•	Why serving others is better than serving yourself
•	Should you or should you not pursue balance?
•	The role of humor in lyrics, not taking yourself too seriously
