Remember old diaper Donald withhelds military AIDS for Ukraine until zelensky announced that press conference against his rival! Michael Cohen points out that if this were a trump administration and Biden had those documents? AG Bill Barr would have immediately filed indictments!

In Episode 36 of Idea Diary - Today, I talk about Damian Keyes video he posted today that got me thinking about a new way to possibly get more ad revenue from people listening to your album for free. Simply post your full album as a podcast episode inside Spotify, get some ads on that episode using Anchor FM, and share that link of your “full album episode” out as a place to listen to full album instead of having people just listen to the album inside Spotify as music streaming. Is that a hack? Not totally sure, but sounds like an additional revenue stream option for your fans to listen and share your music easily. I am certainly going to try it! Bands and musicians may need to consider starting daily content of some kind. to connect with people, and have people getting to know you. There are no gatekeepers anymore! Every musician may possibly need to personal branding themselves, as well as branding the music. That's a minimum of two brands you need to market… sounds time consuming and hard, but there is money to be made being a musician. You just have to find the way that is easy for you.

Hello and welcome to this conversation with Damian Keyes, Musician and Entrepreneur. Big thanks to Jake at The Sneaky Panda which is a secret cocktail bar hidden behind a bookcase within the Artist Residence Hotel in Brighton. If you haven't been there it's absolutely worth it. The Artist Residence describe their hotels as an eccentric bunch of fun and friendly places to eat, drink and sleep - and we reckon they should add 'have interesting conversations' to that list. There's a big difference between being in a conversation and listening to a conversation and it's a real privilege being able to both. Listening to our conversation with Damian I was most struck by his 'burn the ships' approach. It's an approach that many guests have taken but I'm not sure anyone else has been so conscious, so deliberate about their own approach to life. In 1519, The Spanish Conquistador and explorer, Captain Hernan Cortez landed in Veracruz, Mexico. On his arrival, he ordered his men to burn the ships on which they'd arrived. Cortez and Damian both recognise that retreat is easy when the option is available. Damian does not believe in Plan B. Damian throws himself into his music industry ventures like Cortez did against the Aztecs, it's all or nothing, do or die - He makes it difficult for himself to step back into his old comfort zone. I think we can all learn from Damian's willingness to perform without a safety net. We've talked before about these 'crossing the threshold' moments but we've never talked about actively blocking the path home. It's not for the faint-hearted but it makes huge sense because one option makes decisions so much simpler. As Cicero said 'More is lost by indecision than wrong decision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity. It will steal you blind' We bring you Damian Keyes - Fuck Plan B

Todays guest is someone I connected with through Twitter - which is very fitting for our conversation because we really dive deep into what it means to use social media effectively and bust some myths that put a lot of creatives - introverts and extroverts alike - off the platforms. Damian Keyes is a founder of The British Institute of Modern Music (BIMM) which is now valued at over £50M, and in 2010 started DK Music Management; where he helps musicians find work after leaving music education. What we discuss: Damian's plan for rockstardom The reality of the music business Are bassists the introverts of bands? How Damian identified his unique strengths to help others The value of collaboration Tips for being on stage The misconceptions about introversion Why there is such a stigma about self promotion from creatives The problem of perfection seeking Dealing with the fear of rejection It is a numbers game (and how to manage that) How social media is brand new but the underlying concept is age old Building relationships one at a time The importance of having real conversations online How to simplify, slow down and enjoy the journey Damian's 1% rule “Time waits for nobody… sometimes you have to be a bit more ‘in your face'" “For every no there might be a yes around the corner - you can't let that stop you” “As creatives we should put more effort into enjoying the creating as opposed to the end goal” “Social media boils down to creativity and relationships - if you can master those two things, then everything else is just detail"
