What's better than getting solid relationship advice from a married musical couple that performs together constantly? How about getting advice from TWO couples whom have enjoyed nearly 40 years of marriage combined - all while making a living as musicians, creative entrepreneurs and content creators? That's what you'll get in this episode, where we had our first ever summit between two married creative couples - host Allen C. Paul and his wife Lia Paul, and John and Ja'Nia Harden of The Harden Project. John and Ja'Nia have been married for 14 years and have 3 children. John is a world-class saxophonist and organist, while Ja'Nia is a powerful jazz vocalist, arranger and composer with international credits and tour experience. Together they perform as the jazz / funk / soul duo The Harden Project, and have several independent recordings and projects currently available as well as new ones in production. Allen, the host and founder of God and Gigs, has been married to Lia Paul, a vocalist and business manager, for 25 years. Together they have built many creative projects and ventures, including this podcast, an annual summer concert series and a livestream music membership. In this episode you'll learn how married creatives, who have to balance their business and creative responsibilities with their marriage responsibilities, handle the pressures, find balance, and grow stronger in faith and commitment to each other.
