Dave shares how responsibility changes as projects get bigger, how decisions are made in real time, and what it takes to lead creative teams when there is no reset button.We also get into recognition and validation, what it felt like to have his work acknowledged later in his career, and how he thinks about success in a field where the best work often goes unnoticed. This conversation is a grounded look at craft, leadership, pressure, and the reality of composing music for moments watched by millions.The Deets with Duddy is Calgary’s late-night show podcast, hosted by Jeff Dudder (@duddydoesit), spotlighting the city’s culture, creativity, and people through unfiltered conversations with Calgary’s most interesting voices.#TheDeetsWithDuddy #CalgaryPodcast #YYC #DavePierce #Composer #MusicDirector #LiveBroadcast #Olympics #BehindTheScenes #CreativeLeadership
