There's a force at work that keeps you from being you. We feel it, too. It's the reason we avoid making the call, the reason we put off the diet. It's why we've done nothing about that entrepreneurial idea, that creative endeavor, that new relationship. In his book The War of Art, Steven Pressfield defines this universal force as Resistance. Welcome to The Resistance, a new podcast featuring honest interviews with creative persons about this force and the forms it takes.
From his days fronting the indie rock band Hey, Rosetta! to his current run as a solo artist, Tim Baker's music has always connected at a deeper level. On this episode, the Canadian songwriter opens up about creative friction and why it means everything to the process of making anything.
