What Got You There with Sean DeLaney

Kenny Werner has been a world-class pianist and composer for over forty years. In 1996 he wrote his landmark book, Effortless Mastery, Liberating The Master Musician Within. Kenny uses his own life story and experiences to explore the barriers to creativity and mastery of music, and in the process reveals that “Mastery is available to everyone,” providing practical, detailed ways to move towards greater confidence and proficiency in any endeavor. While Werner is a musician, the concepts presented are for every profession or life-style where there is a need for free-flowing, effortless thinking. Effortless Mastery has had a profound impact on how Sean views any path to mastery whether it be in sports, art or business. This conversation doesn’t just focus on Mastery but about life.  Episode Transcript Watch on YouTube Subscribe to my Newsletter Connect with us! Whatgotyouthere Eight sleep is revolutionizing what a great night of sleep means.
