Ep. 27: Talking Guitars! Mistakes, Taking Risks & Picks Again!

<p>A simple setting… a guitar… and a DEEP message hidden inside it.</p><p>From the quiet of the cabin, Andrew moves from talking guitars into something far more fundamental: the nature of <strong>mistakes, risk, creativity, and growth</strong>. He challenges the very idea that mistakes even exist — suggesting instead that what we call “errors” are often the doorway to discovery, expression, and advancement.</p><p>Through music, recording, and life experience, he shows how growth requires <strong>risk, experimentation, and the willingness to surprise yourself</strong>. From the discipline of practice to the unpredictability of creation, this message points to a larger truth: Life rewards those who extend themselves… who push beyond repetition… and who have the courage to act on insight when it appears.</p><p>A grounded, practical, and philosophical reflection on creativity, risk, and becoming something more.</p><p>Chapter Markers</p><p>(00:00) Opening philosophical frame of the series </p><p> (01:12) Morning reflections and the “garden of guitars” </p><p> (02:19) Are there really mistakes in life? </p><p> (03:25) Accidents, surprises, and creativity </p><p> (03:43) Risk and extending your potential </p><p> (05:43) Repetition vs growth in music and life </p><p> (07:05) Attitude as the lens of reality </p><p> (08:55) Playing beyond muscle memory </p><p> (09:41) Loss, rebuilding, and relationship to instruments </p><p> (11:11) Letting go of perfection and status </p><p> (13:35) Tools, instruments, and expression </p><p> (16:26) Creativity vs productivity in recording </p><p> (17:42) Space, time, and refinement in art </p><p> (24:45) First takes vs repetition and mastery </p><p> (26:05) Creativity, altered states, and breakthroughs </p><p> (29:03) The mind as a problem-solving system </p><p> (29:50) Insight, courage, and acting on ideas </p><p> (30:23) Risk, grit, and what life rewards </p><p> (30:56) Closing reflections on what’s worth your life<br></p><p><strong>Song</strong>: Twisted World - andrew reed &amp; the liberation</p><p><strong>Album</strong>: As a Bird of the Air… (Trilogy I Album 1)</p><p><strong>Social Media Links</strong></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.mvi.life/">www.mvi.life</a></p><p><strong>Official Website</strong>: <a href="http://www.andrewreedmusic.com/">www.AndrewReedMusic.com</a></p><p><strong>Facebook</strong>: @<a href="https://www.facebook.com/andrewreedandtheliberation">andrewreedandtheliberation</a> </p><p><strong>X</strong>: @<a href="https://twitter.com/AndrewReedMusic">AndrewReedMusic</a> </p><p><strong>Instagram</strong>: @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/andrewreedmusic/?hl=en">AndrewReedMusic</a> </p><p><strong>Spotify</strong>: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/2Lx7DnbB5qyt7uwV8yeHwE">https://open.spotify.com/artist/2Lx7DnbB5qyt7uwV8yeHwE</a></p><p><strong>Youtube</strong> <strong>Channel</strong>: @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDAcljgsZJzLkADGnQQtldg?view_as=subscriber">andrewreedtheliberation</a></p><p><strong>MVI Phone #</strong>: (828) 698-5885</p><p><a href="https://share.transistor.fm/s/bc980ed2/transcript" title="Click here to view the episode transcript.">Click here to view the episode transcript.</a><br> </p><p><strong>Watch out for the next message, every two weeks on Fridays @ 7:01am (EST)!</strong></p><p><br><strong>“Each song demands a guitar that likes that song.”</strong></p>

Ep. 26: Compensation - The ONLY Way to World-Class

<p>A DEEP and foundational message: Life itself is a system of <strong>COMPENSATION</strong>.</p><p> In this episode, Andrew speaks plainly and directly to you from the Awakened Forest without any of the spectacle of a large public audience. He goes DEEP into the philosophical explanations of why Compensation IS your main System/Structure in creating a World-Class company. We live in a world of “Incentives and Disincentives”... and BOTH the Positive and Negative need to be used in a balanced system that will LAST!  Emerson sets the frame, Munger lands the punch (“Show me the Incentive, and I’ll show you the Result”), and Reed goes about as far as any business person or philosopher has gone on the topic. And he gets practical… REAL -REALITY- What IS! <strong>Humans seek</strong> <strong>Purpose &amp; Meaning over Money, so this is paramount…and bad or poor cultures will drive away Top Talent no matter how much you pay them…</strong></p><p><br><strong>Chapter Markers</strong><br>(00:00) Intro</p><p>(02:18) Compensation as a profound life principle</p><p>(04:28) Incentives, disincentives, and human motivation</p><p>(06:50) Pain, accountability, and organizational reality</p><p>(08:06) Structural systems vs people solutions</p><p>(11:28) Compensation as a universal law of life</p><p>(12:59) Meaning, purpose, and the limits of money</p><p>(17:33) Financial pay vs psychic/job compensation</p><p>(18:43) Cause-and-effect and the transactional nature of existence</p><p>(24:54) The developmental value of pain and dissatisfaction</p><p>(27:10) Risk, effort, and earning true success</p><p>(30:11) Value perception and the psychology of reward</p><p>(33:20) Wealth as the ability to luxuriate in life</p><p>(35:42) Happiness, discipline, and earned satisfaction</p><p>(38:24) Helping others succeed as the path to success</p><p>(40:02) Compensation as a force that creates focus</p><p>(43:10) Early compensation system success stories</p><p>(44:30) Evolving compensation systems and people development</p><p>(45:50) The ecosystem of mutual benefit<br></p><p><strong>Song</strong>: Twisted World - andrew reed &amp; the liberation</p><p><strong>Album</strong>: As a Bird of the Air… (Trilogy I Album 1)</p><p><strong>Social Media Links</strong></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.mvi.life/">www.mvi.life</a></p><p><strong>Official Website</strong>: <a href="http://www.andrewreedmusic.com/">www.AndrewReedMusic.com</a></p><p><strong>Facebook</strong>: @<a href="https://www.facebook.com/andrewreedandtheliberation">andrewreedandtheliberation</a> </p><p><strong>X</strong>: @<a href="https://twitter.com/AndrewReedMusic">AndrewReedMusic</a> </p><p><strong>Instagram</strong>: @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/andrewreedmusic/?hl=en">AndrewReedMusic</a> </p><p><strong>Spotify</strong>: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/2Lx7DnbB5qyt7uwV8yeHwE">https://open.spotify.com/artist/2Lx7DnbB5qyt7uwV8yeHwE</a></p><p><strong>Youtube</strong> <strong>Channel</strong>: @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDAcljgsZJzLkADGnQQtldg?view_as=subscriber">andrewreedtheliberation</a></p><p><strong>MVI Phone #</strong>: (828) 698-5885</p><p><a href="https://share.transistor.fm/s/7010224d/transcript" title="Click here to view the episode transcript.">Click here to view the episode transcript.</a><br> </p><p><strong>Watch out for the next message, every two weeks on Fridays @ 7:01am (EST)!</strong></p><p><br></p><p><br><strong>“Show me the incentive, and I'll show you the result.” </strong></p>

Ep. 25: The Music Business... A Few Considered Opinions

<p>In this interview episode, Andrew offers a clear-eyed look at the <strong>Music Business</strong>—not as mythology, but as lived reality. He explains why <strong>constraints</strong> (time, money, energy) often fuel creativity rather than restrict it, and why the most talented people are those who can take a <strong>small seed and make it grow!</strong> Andrew draws a sharp distinction between <strong>Art and Entertainment</strong>, stating that sometimes artists must eventually choose which path they’re willing to walk—and accept the consequences.</p><p> </p><p>The conversation turns practical as Andrew discusses the role of the <strong>Music Manager</strong>, the danger of image over substance, and why results—not appearance—are the only honest measure of competence. The throughline is simple and uncompromising: creativity, integrity, and intelligence matter more than excess, hype, or unlimited resources.</p><p><br><strong>Chapter Markers</strong></p><p><strong>(00:00) Intro</strong></p><p><strong>(01:09) Creativity &amp; Constraints</strong> — Why limits fuel better work</p><p><strong>(02:30) Time as a Tool</strong> — Setting tighter windows to unlock efficiency</p><p><strong>(03:53) Let the Brain Work</strong> — Sleep, subconscious sorting, clarity</p><p><strong>(04:30) Money as Constraint</strong> — Why limited budgets often create better results</p><p><strong>(06:15) Too Much vs. Too Little</strong> — Finding the creative sweet spot</p><p><strong>(07:11) Talent Revealed</strong> — Who can grow a small seed</p><p><strong>(08:54) Art vs. Entertainment</strong> — Two paths, different costs</p><p><strong>(10:05) Success &amp; the Trap</strong> — Audience expectations and creative risk</p><p><strong>(11:04) Authenticity</strong> — Creating without chasing approval</p><p><strong>(12:04) What Managers Really Do</strong> — Allocation of assets and ROI</p><p><strong>(13:11) Experience Matters</strong> — Results over image</p><p><strong>(15:06) Integrity &amp; Outliers</strong> — Choosing people sold out to truth</p><p><strong>(16:42) Close</strong> — Final thoughts and sign-off<br></p><p><strong>Song</strong>: Twisted World - andrew reed &amp; the liberation</p><p><strong>Album</strong>: As a Bird of the Air… (Trilogy I Album 1)</p><p><strong>Social Media Links</strong></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.mvi.life/">www.mvi.life</a></p><p><strong>Official Website</strong>: <a href="http://www.andrewreedmusic.com/">www.AndrewReedMusic.com</a></p><p><strong>Facebook</strong>: @<a href="https://www.facebook.com/andrewreedandtheliberation">andrewreedandtheliberation</a> </p><p><strong>X</strong>: @<a href="https://twitter.com/AndrewReedMusic">AndrewReedMusic</a> </p><p><strong>Instagram</strong>: @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/andrewreedmusic/?hl=en">AndrewReedMusic</a> </p><p><strong>Spotify</strong>: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/2Lx7DnbB5qyt7uwV8yeHwE">https://open.spotify.com/artist/2Lx7DnbB5qyt7uwV8yeHwE</a></p><p><strong>Youtube</strong> <strong>Channel</strong>: @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDAcljgsZJzLkADGnQQtldg?view_as=subscriber">andrewreedtheliberation</a></p><p><strong>MVI Phone #</strong>: (828) 698-5885</p><p><a href="https://share.transistor.fm/s/cd014a65/transcript" title="Click here to view the episode transcript.">Click here to view the episode transcript.</a><br> </p><p><strong>Watch out for the next message, every two weeks on Fridays @ 7:01am (EST)!</strong></p><p><br><strong>“People look successful… until you look under the hood.”</strong></p>

This question cuts straight to the heart of Life… and this series of messages goes, perhaps, as DEEP and Intelligently as possible into the Experience of Life and offers PROFOUND insight gained from a journey that has been EPIC in worldly terms, but is also littered with catastrophic losses almost unimaginable.

Andrew Reed is a True Outlier…

Andrew has gone about as DEEP as possible, through personal will, as well as through “events” into the PROFOUND of the Experience of Life. He has accomplished much in worldly terms and in a number of fields, including music, the arts, healthcare, business, wilderness adventurer, scientific research, Alaskan commercial fishermen, consultant/teacher to over 10,000 CEOs and executives, etc. But his life is also littered with almost every catastrophic loss imaginable from the loss of 2 children in accidents, loss of health, loss of a few fortunes, loss of wives & loves, and loss through natural disasters of hurricanes and forest fires. Add in - bear attacks, gunshot fragments in his head, being swept overboard a few times nearly drowning, escaping from fires nearly killing him, having multiple breakdowns and such add to the color to the philosophical topics and practical, pragmatic advice shared…

He has been described as a creative rarely seen, with accomplishments in music and the arts as well as being an expert on creating and operating World-Class organizations. He is also a songwriter and super guitarist under Universal/Virgin Music Groups and WorldSound with an international fanbase accounting for 90% outside of the US. He is the principal of Multi-View Incorporated family of companies which benchmarks and consults with over 1,300 companies, primarily in the United States.
