130: Guardin (Interview) | How To Measure REAL Success As An Artist
Guardin was one of the first ever guests I had on the podcast, and now after two years and what feels like a lifetime of events happening in between, he returns to the podcast to look back at everything and catch up on what he's been up to since then. Including signing to a record label, then going back to being independent, how he stayed sane during lockdown, and writing an entire new wave of music including the story of writing the 'things could be worse' EP.
Nick is genuinely one of my favorite people I've ever met, so this is a really one. If you like it, it'd mean the world if you share it with a friend ????
