On episode 74 of Welcome To The Winners Circle, Derek Pang and co-host Bianca Léger interview Scott Nolan (IG: @scott_nolan_langrud_music, www.scottnolan.ca) a well-known and well-traveled musician. He’s a Canadian singer/songwriter who’s spent years touring the America south, and he’s also a visual artist, poet, and charismatic story-teller; a prairie shaman, full of wisdom and humour. Most recently, he’s created the theme music for David Suzuki’s new podcast and has just completed his long-awaited new album titled The Suburb Beautiful to be released in 2022.
Here are some of the subjects we touched on:
- What he loves about his world right now.
- Living with generalized anxiety disorder.
- How music saved his life.
- Being mentored by letters from his imprisoned cousin.
- Visiting Folsom State Prison to perform, lead workshops and how this experience has profoundly changed him.
- The origin story re: how he fell in love with music.
- Cannabis as a tool.
- Authenticity.
- Poetry.
- How Yoga came into his life.
- Being present.
- Breakups.
- Collage art.
- Moving on.
- His advise to young artists.
- Storytelling.
- Sharing his songs.
- Overcoming fear.
- Love.
- What “winning” means to him.
- A random phone call from Winston Wuttunee and the golden wisdom shared.
- Mentoring others.
- The greatest life lesson he’s learnt so far.
- ”Old Friends”.
I hope you guys enjoy this podcast as much as we did. We are all on the same path, The Hero’s Journey, just at different points along the way. Thank you so much for listening!
