Jim Kimo West is a multiple Grammy winning Hawaiian “slack key” guitarist, producer and composer with kind of a New Age bent. He went to Hawaii in 1985 and basically never left. Except to go on tour with Weird Al Yankovic, with whom he’s played for over 30 years and earned 5 Grammys and a Billboard #1 album. He’s also composed music for TV and films.

My featured song is “The Pardners”, from the album East Side Sessions by my band Project Grand Slam. Spotify link.

This episode introduces a new addition to the Follow Your Dream platform. It’s called Essays.

Over the years, I’ve had more than 750 in-depth conversations with creative artists from around the world. Those conversations have taught me a great deal about creativity, success, curiosity, purpose, and the creative journey.

To explore some of those ideas more deeply, I’ve launched Essays. It’s Follow Your Dream’s fifth pillar of content.

Essays draw upon lessons I’ve learned from my hundreds of artist guests, as well as my own experiences as a musician, author, and creator.

The first essay is called “What 750 Creative Artists Have Taught Me About Success”. And the second one is called “Pursuing Creativity Later In Life”.

In the first Essay I talk about how the most successful creative people I’ve met share a remarkable number of traits despite their differences in background, nationality, profession, personality, and artistic medium. Success is usually less about sudden opportunity than sustained commitment. Talent is important. But what has impressed me most is curiosity.

In the second Essay I discuss how society often tells us that our business and creative lives end when retirement age begins. We’re told that this is the time to slow down, take it easy, and coast through our remaining years. But it doesn't have to be that way. For some people—including me—the creative juices did not expire at this stage of life; to the contrary, they started overflowing.

Both of these Essays were published on the Medium app. A link to them can be found in the Pillars section of the website under Essays. I hope you’ll take a look.

And stay tuned for future Essays.
