Get the F#$k on With It with piano man, Jim Wilson

Get the F#$k on With It with Jim Wilson. Jim was born in Greenville, South Carolina, and found his love of music at age 7. He came from a broken home, which affected his outlook on love for the rest of his life. He fell between the cracks in his family and was left without a bedroom, requiring him to learn the skills of self-determinism and overcoming seemingly impossible tasks at a young age. Fast forward a little, and Jim decided to learn to tune pianos to support himself while he moved to LA to pursue music. He ended up being a great piano tuner and kept putting his own music aspirations on hold. In 1997, Jim lost his best friend, Claud, at 37 to an unexpected heart attack. Claud had big dreams and so much life in front of him that was now gone forever. This realization made Jim understand that there is not a limitless reservoir of tomorrows, and he had to pursue his dreams now no matter the outcome. With the love and support of his musical heroes—most significantly his friend and mentor Dan Fogelberg—Jim set out on a solo career of composing, recording, and performing his signature style of piano-featured instrumentals.  In this episode, Mathew, Dr. Dave, and Jim discuss the importance of building relationships, how we can create “pinch me” moments in our everyday lives by being present, and the magic of the flow state. However, as we all know, things don’t always go as planned. Jim finishes off by giving us his tips on how he overcomes challenges by zooming out, refocusing, and continuing on. “There’s not a limitless reservoir of tomorrows. Get the f#$k on with it.” In this episode, you'll hear: Why does it often take such dramatic circumstances to inspire change?
