It's been a while but here's episode 29! This one is all about how we sometimes rationalize our fears instead of facing them.

Another episode is out! 

 

Caveat: Of course there are little tiny tricks and approaches you can do to level up on the micro level. But so often I get asked about mega short cuts and in my opinion, NOTHING can replace those 10,000 hours of just sheer grinding where you learn so much about yourself and your craft. Put in the time people!

Time is why so few composers can make it in this day and age. Most composers expect be making a living in under a year, but honing on our craft, learning other life skills, and most importantly investing in relationships takes many years of dedicated effort.

 

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Nathan! Happy to be on this audio journey with you.
