The Person You Want to Be, with Eric Teplitz

Scott Freiman is the creator of Deconstructing the Music, a series of multimedia presentations that includes The Beatles’ entire catalogue of recordings and is now branching out to include the music of other artists. Through his lectures, Scott takes audiences on a fascinating journey into the creative process, leaving them with a deeper understanding and appreciation for how their favorite music was made. Scott’s own story, discussed at length in this interview, is an example of how seemingly disparate interests, skills, and experiences can come together in surprising and satisfying ways, particularly with a little help from one's friends.Scott Freiman Links:Scott's Website: https://www.deconstructingthemusic.com/Fab Four Masterclass: https://www.fabfourmasterclass.com/About Your Host, Eric Teplitz:Website: http://ericteplitz.com/Schedule a FREE coaching consultation: http://ericteplitz.com/work-with-me/Access a FREE preview of Eric's online course "Opening to Greater Possibilities": https://ericteplitz.thinkific.com/Send a text to the host of the showSupport the show
