Fred Knipe has spent his entire life involved in a plethora of creative projects from being a hit-producing songwriter in Nashville, to an Emmy award winning writer for TV. Most recently he developed the persona of Merlin F Ludiker, a free-range savant who has entertained large law firms in every major city with his blend of wit and intellectual humor.

Fred and I talk about what has kept him in the game of creativity for so long, what he learned writing country hits in Nashville, the importance of relationships in the creative process and where brilliant ideas come from.

John Morgan is a public speaker, coach and one of the most passionate people I know. I’ve been wanting to have this conversation for several years, ever since I met John. His YouTube channel is a great demonstration of what happens when you hit record and don’t filter what you say. I love the passion he brings to everything and how he really trusts his own wisdom.
