In this episode, my two guests discuss their experiences with music, spirituality, and cultures around the world. Mojib Ghaznawi recently graduated from the Harvard Kennedy School from which he will begin a career of public service as a diplomat, but today we talk to him about some of his other passions: spirituality, culture, language, and music. "Music is everything," he says in this episode. I agree! He also shares his thoughts on learning during a pandemic and doing what he does best: making the best of life and what is presented to him.
My second guest, Jonah Lazarus is a musician who plays piano, guitar, marimba, percussion, and most often drums. Besides his many bands and groups, he teaches, composes, and studies music (he was a fulbright scholar in 2018), offering a harmonious description of learning music as finding a piece of your life. He will soon be starting a music school dedicated to the idea that anyone can participate in the beauty of music. If anyone can guide us, it would be Jonah.
