On this episode, my guest is Jure Pukl, a world-class saxophone player, improviser, and a truly brilliant musician. I am really fond of him and I really enjoy his sense of humour.
We also share a couple of similarities: we both come from our hometown, Velenje, and we both moved back to Slovenia after years of living abroad.
This episode is about jazz, improvisation, and he will share his hilarious story about his musical upbringing; you have to hear it to believe it. All the way to enjoying life as it is and embracing what it gives you.
He also used an NFT as artwork on one of his recent albums called Melt.
We will also discuss the experience and the importance when people/teachers doubt in you. It is not nice, of course, BUT! I realised I would not change a ‘not nice experience’ for anything, because it gave me a chance to grow stronger from it, and to realise what I really want and make that even more meaningful.
I think one of the problems today is that society is trying to protect and prevent people from ‘not nice’ experiences (parents trying to remove everything unpleasant in their life, or society with its close to paranoid political correctness). I believe we have to be challenged in order to train our mental resilience. I see it like training a sport, body, or craft as artists for that matter. (Of course, as long as it is not life-threatening.)
How can we ever get stronger or wiser if not through a set of challenges in life?

#8 Following your vision, podcasting, and just do it mentality SAMO ŠALAMON | Sound Mind Podcast
On this episode, my guest is Samo Šalamon. A Slovenian guitarist and composer, playing with musicians from all around the world. I see him as an embodiment of ‘just do it’ mentality. Every time I talk to him, he gives me so much inspiration to do the things that I love. What I admire the most at him is his ability to focus on things that are important and to continuously produce great content that he stands behind. He recorded around forty (40) music albums and his podcast called ‘dr. Jazz Talks’ is now counting already 403 episodes! Plus, he is a full time dad and runs his own music school and has a PhD in Translation and American Literature. We have talked about scheduling, composing, podcasting the ‘just do it’ mentality, following your vision and he also shared an incredible story which I call ‘The John Scofield Story’. As per usual there will be as well a good portion of personal insights and interesting stories.
