Gifted Achiever Doug Harrison

Our friend, Gifted Achiever Doug Harrison of Slug Comparison and Fen is in the GU Clubhouse talking about music and the creative life.

We talked with Doug Harrison back in September 2024 about his work with Fen, a Canadian prog rock band whose recent album Dear Mouse was zooming up the international charts.

This is Part 2 of that conversation, and it coincides with the release of a bunch of new work from Doug’s solo project, Slug Comparison. Listen to the kickass single March Through the Forest and join us as we talk with Doug about:

  • Navigating the prepackaged dreams and expectations of the music industry

  • Longevity as a by-product of realism about the work involved in being a musician

  • The gift of persistence and trusting in the process of getting better at your craft

  • Ways to create space for your work in daily life

  • The value of mentorship

  • Separating the ideas of art and money

Questions for Listeners:
