#0081: Ruth Ungar Merenda on balancing your craft and business, leveraging patience and impatience + connecting with human mammals

Meet General Ruth Ungar Merenda. To say that Ruth is a multidimensional artist and collaborator is a massive understatement. She is a partner at Humble Abode Music, a recording artist with The Mammals and Mike + Ruthy. Last year she and her husband, Mike, toured the US and UK with their band, The Mammals, toured small folk music venues for a month in Australia as a duo with their two kids, organized two community music festivals back in Upstate NY, and recorded a new full-length studio album due out next summer. Ruth is a dedicated folk musician and artist, but also works hard to study, shape, and share the musical, environmental mission of the Ashokan Center as the Director of Arts & Communication. This is where Mike and Ruth host their two annual folk music festivals, the Winter Hoot coming up on January 31st and the Summer Hoot in August 2020. In this episode, the lessons that Ruth shared extend far beyond the scope of folk music. We talked about balancing your ambition beyond your craft, whatever craft that happens to be. We also talked about leveraging patience and impatience and the importance of learning all sides of the business you are in. We also take on some mindset topics like how the power of music evokes emotion and how to connect with other humans in a meaningful way. This episode is packed with wisdom, ideas, tips and inspiring stuff - thanks to Ruth. Oh, and the Winter Hoot is coming up on January 31st. If you are interested in attending, visit HootLove.com.
