Colin Gawel on Juggling Fatherhood and a Rock 'n' Roll Life

You try to make good decisions when you're in the space to make good decisions, knowing that at some point you're probably not going to make good decisions.
Ever wondered how rock stars balance the chaos of touring with the responsibilities of parenthood? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer sits down with Colin Gawel, guitarist of the American rock band Watershed, to explore just that. Recorded live in Colin's kitchen, this candid conversation honors Father's Day by diving deep into the highs and lows of being a dad and a musician.
Colin opens up about the bittersweet experience of watching his child grow up and step out into the world, beyond his protective reach. He also shares heartfelt stories about talking to his kids about addiction, drawing from his own family history. Colin’s journey isn’t just about music and fatherhood; it’s also a lesson in resilience.
He discusses how bouncing back from adversity has shaped his life, whether it's dealing with the disappointment of a poorly received album or navigating the ups and downs of parenthood. His philosophy? Do things for the love of it, not just for the outcome. This mindset has helped him maintain balance, even when life gets chaotic. The episode also touches on the importance of spirituality in Colin's life, providing him with a sense of purpose and meaning amid struggles.
And let’s not forget the importance of having a solid support network. Colin emphasizes how friends and family have been crucial in helping him stay grounded during tough times. Whether you're a parent trying to balance work and family, an artist facing creative blocks, or someone seeking inspiration to overcome life's challenges, Colin's story offers valuable insights and encouragement.
Tune in for a heartfelt chat that blends personal anecdotes with broader life lessons, all wrapped up in the warm, conversational style that 'The One You Feed' is known for.
