We recently connected with Jesse Thompson and have shared our conversation below.

Jesse, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?

I get my resilience from my mission. My mission drives me to be resilient and continuance in my creative journey is knowing my purpose or my “why”. My purpose is to encourage people and make provisions as a guidance to our young people so they can be encouraged to pursue their dreams that align with their gifts and calling. I love to visit and talk to children and college students nationwide about music and its creative journey. Spending time with them is an investment in our future and it creates trust as it builds relationships it also allows for collaborative opportunities in an agile methodology for artists to work together on projects, make changes, and accomplish musical goals.
