Chasing Curiosity and Creativity to Carve Your Own Path with Rob Carli

Rob Carli is a multi-award-winning musician, producer and composer for film and television.  Rob has had a storied career in music, from his early days touring the country in an Econoline van to most recently co-founding the Awesome Music Project, a not-for-profit dedicated to delivering practical solutions to mental health through the transformative power of music.  

In this episode, Rob shares how people can find their creativity in the most unlikely of places and how staying curious can help carve out new paths you’d never have imagined for yourself.  Rob believes it is our fear of judgment that holds us back from putting ourselves out there and that overcoming this is the key to reinventing yourself as your career evolves.  

Rob also makes the case that as technology plays a larger role in our lives, we’ve lost intimacy with each other through simple rituals like cooking and sharing live music. Let’s get it back.

Takeaways

• Creativity can be sparked by finding a state of mind where you are free from judgment and self-consciousness.
• Work should be seen as a journey rather than a destination.  You have never “made it”.
• The narrative of careers is changing, and people are embracing multiple careers and diversifying their skills. Diversification and curiosity can lead to personal and professional growth.
• Music can be a powerful tool for healing and improving mental health.
• Rituals play a crucial role in creating a sense of purpose and connection.
