Quote’s “When I’m most rigid and most busy I’m the least creative. When I’m on vacation I always write new songs. My mind get’s in that creative zone where it wants to stimulate itself.” - Andrew Oliver “Working with what you have and not being afraid to work with what you have is the first step.” - Andrew Oliver “That lack of things they have to create with pushes them way outside the box to form the disruption.” - Host Dave Swillum Andrew’s Links IG @flippinoliver Andrew’s First Physical Product https://www.getdummiez.com/ Andrew’s Custom In Ear’s https://www.wavscustom.com/?fbclid=IwAR1C62P2LPhKFdJQa7Vm0I3DdIEw2-XQnx4irkspkMD-ZJ1bOoS2yRDyEi0 Andrew’s Music https://www.brotheroliver.com/home Andrew’s Media / Record Label https://www.facebook.com/forthrightrecords Waking Up From Work Podcast Links IG / Tik Tok / Clubhouse / Twitter / HiHo Follow & DM Me! @davewakeup Merch To Support Us! https://wakeup.itemorder.com/sale?fbclid=IwAR30nyVXdpFaax0mN0CRcC_mVjNzafbMo0spds82eoG-GMo01HG6Uq0dvzw Patreon (If you want to support the show check out our sweet offers for you) https://www.patreon.com/wakingupfromwork Facebook Community to connect to creatives https://www.facebook.com/groups/wakingupfromwork/about/ Email [email protected] Youtube Channel & Series https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJeddF25VuWn8Eg3Fhy13fQ?view_as=subscriber For audio advice and more in depth music content from Dave www.crawlspaceaudio.com Dave’s Indie Band Broadwing https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/broadwing/tennessee
