In today’s episode, I sat down with Matthew Linaman. Matthew is an incredible cellist based in San Francisco. He and I first connected during the production of the Lucky Podcast where he delved into the long history of his centuries-old cello. I highly recommend going to listen to that episode after this one. In this conversation, I check in with him after his years of touring around the world to discuss everything from the meditative nature of playing music, the courage it takes to ask for help from your community as an up and coming performer, to how a major loss early in his life drives him to expression through music.
