Drifting Together

I’m not sure we drift together

I don’t think meander into success

And we don’t wander out of debt

Rather, good relationships, success, and financial stability (like many good things) come from doing them on purpose.

Own The Show

When you get up there you might have big waves of feeling honored, insecure, surprised, thankful, concerned, excited…but the only thing that matters to the audience is that you put on a good show.

Don’t think you shouldn’t be up there. Don’t cower at the spotlight. Don’t act humble to mask insecurity.

You’re playing the show. Own the show. Own the space. Lift the room.

Wind At Your Back

The path for the amateur is difficult.

The path for the immature much more so.

So it is process of maturing that will be the wind at the amateur’s back.

You Get To Release Your Music

First Monday of the month means new Hum Love playlist on Spotify and Apple

As an artist, you release music so people will listen. But…

You don’t get to control their listening environment

You don’t get to make sure no one texts them while they’re listening

You don’t get to beg them to please listen on anything other than their phone speaker

You don’t get to know what’s going on just before they listen

You don’t get to decide what they ate just before they hit play

And so much more.

You get to control the music. Not the listening.

You simply get to release your music.

The Move And The Shot

If you can do the move but can’t make the shot I don’t have to worry about the move.

You have to be able to complete the transaction.

You have to be able to get it over the finish line.

“Almost” stories aren’t very good and you’re going to get tired of telling them.
