Ep. #6: Micah Wagner — How he built his career in music during personal set-backs, anxiety, and loss

Have you ever faced immense loss that gave you a new outlook on life? Have you ever taken risks that pushed you to the brink in order to focus on your passions? Have you ever committed time and money to a project you weren’t sure would succeed? For Austin-based musician Micah Wagner, each of these hurdles pushed him towards music. In moments of clarity amongst the fear and grief, music always called to him. In this episode, we talk through some of his experiences during this transformative time in his life — from helping sail a schooner between Puerto Rico and Trinidad and Tobago, to losing his mother and how he used these moments as a catalyst to become an artist, musician, and producer he is today. Ep #6: Fear is a Liar Podcast with Micah Wagner & Ronnie Gyani0:00 | Intro2:34 | Overcoming challenges by learning to “steer the ship”9:44 | Struggling to ask for help in producing his first album20:08 | Growing from an artist to an entrepreneur25:36 | An atypical businessman and musician26:39 | Outro27:51 | EndLinks and ResourcesMicah WagnerWebsite: https://www.micahwagner.com/  Bio: https://www.micahwagner.com/about  Ronnie GyaniPodcast: https://www.ronniegyani.com/podcast Podcast Blog: https://www.ronniegyani.com/podcastblog Website: https://www.ronniegyani.com/LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/ronnie-gyani Articles:https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronnie-gyani/detail/recent-activity/posts/

Have you ever been ready to take a risk and do what you’ve always dreamed of? Then fear and negative mindsets creep in. You wonder if you’re smart enough, experienced enough, or just plain good enough. That resistance builds imaginary walls that ultimately hold you back. We help attack these voices in your head on the Fear is a Liar podcast.  Ronnie interviews entrepreneurs who share how they embraced these fears in light of risk, self-doubt, failure, and unknowns. Their stories will help you challenge your own fears, fuel your success, and inspire you to go for what you want.   Ronnie was inspired to produce the narrative format of the show by his favorite podcast: How I Built This with Guy Raz, from NPR.
