We recently connected with Jeff Miguel and have shared our conversation below.

Jeff, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’ve love to hear an interesting investment story – what was one of the best or worst investments you’ve made? (Note, these responses are only intended as entertainment and shouldn’t be construed as investment advice)

I’ve made a couple crucial investments. One was to purchase a variety of quality instruments. I’ve been able to record and perform whenever there is a need simply because I own a flute, clarinet, baritone, soprano, alto, and tenor saxophone. Similarly, buying home recording gear and live sound gear have paid themselves off time and time again. For me, I just thought of what I wanted to be doing, and then took the risk of investing in what I needed to be able to do those things.

Jeff, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I am a full-time musician and music educator in Denver. I started Jeff Miguel Music Lessons where I teach 30 private students from my home. I also started and direct two ensembles for my students, The Loretto Heights Jazz Saxophone Ensemble and the Loretto Heights Saxophone Quartet. I am also a studio musician for both local and global artists. I started a couple of my own musical groups that perform in Colorado, and I freelance with various other bands. I’m super excited to get my professional sax group I’m starting off the ground. We just started to meet, and soon we’ll be taking Denver by storm!

What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?

Keep going out to see live music. Look for new and different venues, and don’t be afraid to go see a new group you’ve never heard of.

Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can provide some insight – you never know who might benefit from the enlightenment.

I don’t think there are non-creative people. I have just spent a lot of time learning my instrument and music, so that I can allow my creativity to be manifested. Creativity can be nurtured and developed though. By studying what has already been done, and how to do that, you can then create new and innovative things.
