Joseph Wooten Part 2: Music, Culture, Rhythm, and Respect

Joseph Wooten is a three-time Grammy-nominated artist, songwriter, keyboardist, and vocalist. Since 1993, Joseph has been an integral member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, The Steve Miller Band. He is a producer, speaker, and fronts his own band, Joseph Wooten and The Hands of Soul. Joseph also serves as the keyboard is to his brother, Victor Wooten. On top of all of that, he's an author of It All Matters from which there's a Ted Talk delivered in Memphis, Tennessee called Why It All Matters.

 

 

  • How funk became the celebratory music and why it's known as the "free man's music"  
  • How harmony tells us how to feel and how rhythm gives the music a path forward  
  • Musical Concepts  
  • Joseph's relationship with Steve Miller, Victor Wooten and the rest of his brothers

Joseph says the most important thing you can learn from music is that in music, rhythm creates a relationship with things that are normally not compatible. Rhythm gives two different ideas a path forward because rhythm makes them respect each other's space. Joseph says that if you replace rhythm with respect off the stage, it will do the same thing.  Growing up, Joseph's mom told him and his brothers, "What does the world need with just another good musician? What we need are more good people." Their mom knew the music business would be tough and may or may not work out, but knew that they would survive it based on the quality of character that she raised Joseph, Victor, Reggie, Roy, Rudy, and Elijah to be. Sit back, relax, and enjoy as we dive into Music, Culture, Rhythm, and Respect.

Why focus on creatives?

Well, because there's not one clear path set out for you as a creative. The industry doesn't want you in it. This podcast is about combining your talent with business so that your industry cannot deny you and has no choice, but to open its doors for you. It starts with being in a mindset of understanding the value of investing in yourself, because if you don't invest in yourself, then who's going to invest in you. CEOs join me every week to help you monetize your passion, whatever that may be into a full-time gig. Be sure to subscribe and leave me a review on Apple Podcasts. I now offer a free entrepreneur guide, 5 Steps to Monetize Your Passion.
