In episode 003, Bruce uses a quote by Woodrow Wilson and a short passage from the Bible New Testament book of 1 Corinthians to demonstrate the "instructions" he has found for defining his role as one half of a long distance relationship.

"You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.” - Woodrow Wilson

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV)

Episode 003 - Better Late Than Never

In Episode 004, Bruce discusses how worry can cripple a person's ability to live their life at the fullest.  When worry fuels your energy and drive, it is a recipe for disaster.  By focusing on gratitude rather than worry, there is a shift in your thinking that happens almost immediately.



Episode 004 - Worry

In Episode 5, I take a few minutes to discuss how an emotional heart problem we face in today's hyper-connected world is blocking us from communicating effectively with each other - and how we can break the cycle!

Episode 005 - I Have A Heart Problem!

Episode 6 is a bit of mashup and a little diversion from the normal chatty format. I offer some insight into my thoughts on negativity vs pessimism and a request to listeners for help. Don't worry...I'm not asking for money!!!

Episode 006: What's Next? ...and more!

In Episode 007, Bruce sits down during his "Miracle Morning" to record the FOURTH attempt at this episode!  Topics include reactions to Hal Elrod's GREAT book, "The Miracle Morning" and how a friend's family tragedy has given new urgency to a familiar struggle, plus more.





Episode 007 - Walk VS Talk

In episode 008, Bruce discusses the importance of vulnerability in our lives, the traits we have that get in the way of vulnerability, and why it's so important to embrace vulnerability in all parts of our lives.

This episode is inspired and based on the TED Talk below, hosted by Dr. Brene Brown, author and research professor at the University of Houston. Check it out, and thanks for listening!

Episode 008 - The Importance Of Vulnerability

In episode 009, Bruce takes a moment to look back on the "Yes" moments of his life that might easily have been "No" moments if fear had taken over his desire for something more. How often do the "No" answers you give come from a place of fear rather than reality?

Episode 010 - Looking Back, Moving Forward

I have moved this podcast to a Libsyn server.  Please subscribe through iTunes and check www.getsomegrit.com to stay updated - many more episodes since I last posted here!

My name is Bruce, and I am a university music educator.  My journey towards a full-time career in music took many twists and turns – some so jarring that I wondered if I had what it took to survive the trip!  What came out of these struggles was my grit.  Why grit?  Grit combines passion, ambition, toughness and strength of character.  If you want a career in the arts, grit will be what separates you from the pack.

Are you scared about where your career in the arts is headed?  Do you wonder if you have what it takes to endure the journey?  The Get Some Grit Podcast is here to help you!
