Welcome to Notes on Doing Episode 024, a roundtable “On Magic.”
Something that I’ve noticed as we’re almost a quarter of the way through Notes on Doing (the goal has been to get 100 interviews down) — is that many of the people that I’ve interviewed mention “magic” somewhere in their interviews — the magic of loving what you do, the magic of realizing and being who you are… the magic of applying your skills and toolsets towards a greater good.
It got me thinking — what about doing is magical? How do you create and harness magic in order to do what you love? What is magic?!
So, I invited four of our past interviewees to chat about magic. They are:
Austance Caroline, Episode 007
David Perlick-Molinari, Episode 014
Conrad Clifton, Episode 016
Deidre Muro, Episode 23
Full disclosure, these interviewees and doers are also married couples too which is pretty fun— David and Deidre, Austi and Conrad. Three out of four of them have careers in music. Everyone lives in Brooklyn. Everyone loves what they do and…
We all believe in magic.
