    If you have ever thought that you are not creative or that "making it big" is impossible, today's episode is for you. There are two false choices taught in the world. It's either "Go live your dream" or "don't pursue your dream, do something practical". I seek to find the middle of ";pursue your dream, but it's going to be insanely hard and require grit and creativity". Making Early Music a career would not fall in the category of stable, smart, or lucrative, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. It might just look a little different than your initial expectations. www.soundofageschoir.comHere is a link to the book: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=the+art+of+impossible&gclid=Cj0KCQiA4b2MBhD2ARIsAIrcB-SWBkTla1syL1mt1k4jW453qgqMEcbFmAq3B38ezDkkWCc0Qo16820aAudxEALw_wcB&hvadid=241900559643&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9029857&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=8942532955597067818&hvtargid=kwd-92832955290&hydadcr=22561_10346245&tag=googhydr-20&ref=pd_sl_1b6wtt3tq0_e
