#211 - Dave Barnes, Musician, Singer, and Songwriter — Joy, Autonomy, Faith & The Real Cost of Chasing Success

I sit down with singer-songwriter, comedian, podcaster, and all-around storyteller Dave Barnes for a conversation that goes way deeper than music. We talk about what it really means to chase success without losing your family, how autonomy shapes the choices we make, and why joy might actually be a powerful force — not just a feeling.Dave opens up about faith, fatherhood, the changing music industry, the pressure to provide, and the tension between ambition and contentment. We also get into creativity, performing, entrepreneurship (or not), and the quiet question so many of us carry: Did I choose the right path?Dave’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/p/DUhOpeTDOAR/Dave’s Tours (Website): https://www.davebarnes.comWays to Support the Show👇🏼Nothing Novel: https://nothingnovel.life Socks: https://stupidquestions.show/pages/sq-merch Newsletter: ⁠https://stupidquestions.show/pages/newsletter-signup
