True or False: Talent is all you need to succeed in today's creative industries.
If you ask our guest, Meachum L. Clarke, he would most certainly disagree - and he has the experience and passion to back up his perspective that talent means nothing without embracing your purpose and some key principles.
As a producer, worship pastor, gospel artist, vocal arranger and creative coach, Meachum has risen to the highest levels in the music industry and has become one of the most respected voices in the gospel industry and beyond.
Clarke has accompanied, collaborated with, and/or ministered with many of the finest artists in the industry including Karen Clark-Sheard, Tramaine Hawkins, Dorothy Norwood, Vickie Winans, Dorinda Clark-Cole, Jonathan Nelson, Marvin Sapp, Daryl Coley, VaShawn Mitchell, Donnie McClurkin, Tasha Cobbs, Byron Cage, Kim Burrell and dozens of others. He has released several chart-topping projects as a gospel artist and choir leader, and currently serves as Pastor of Music and Worship Arts at Bethel Institutional Baptist Church in Jacksonville, FL. As a creative coach, he works extensively with creatives to help them find their unique God-given path.
In this discussion with host Allen C. Paul, you'll learn the essential principles for creative fulfillment, whether you minister in a church, or you feel it's time for you to step out into an independent creative career. His enthusiasm and passion will inspire you to take the first - or next - step toward your creative destiny.
