There is one show people want to see during the Christmas season and there’s an exponential number of performances during this time…which probably finance the rest of the year for every ballet company.
So if you want to launch a new innovative ballet show, it’s best to save it for the other eleven months.
During December just do The Nutcracker and then you’ll have the freedom to go do the other stuff.
Music And Streaming Conversations
There are four main conversations I’ve had with musicians regarding streaming…
-Venting for a little while. Getting the fears and complaints out on the table.
-Speculating on how the streaming system could be better. It’s fun and daunting to come up with possibilities.
-Talking about actions you’re going to take to change the system for the better, or make a new system.
-Figuring out what you’re going to do today and this week on behalf of what you say you want to build…given the reality of your circumstances.
All of these are worthwhile conversations. The problem is that when we start to overlap them all at once without realizing it, not much progress is made. And it often turns into doomsday. Which, if that’s true, now would be a good time to exit the biz. If not…lets be intentional about having a worthwhile conversation.

You know what time it is…first Monday of the month new Hum Love playlist on Spotify and Apple.
The monthly listeners for these ten artists range form 3,500 to 1.5million
A couple things to note…
-If you listen through the playlist without looking at the numbers you can’t hear the difference between which artists have more listeners and which have less.
-Once you look at the monthly listeners it changes the way you hear it.
