EP090: "Alexander Nakarada - Spring '26!"

About this episode

The episode features a conversation between Tim Kulig and Alexander Nakarada about overcoming creative blocks and the importance of motivation in songwriting.

This week, Alexander Nakarada and I regroup to discuss motivations and statuses following the grueling Norwegian winter and my hiatus since hitting 1,000 published tracks. Turns out, the deep freeze and hitting a major milestone have similar causes for pauses! That said, we often connect at the right time to motivate one another in our songwriting journeys. Urgency is a function of discipline and consistency when you're building for yourself - so having friends that help motivate and encourage are 100% the best friends :) Come join us for our conversation!
