"The Rockin 1000 is a project that started in Italy as gag to create a video of 1000 musicians playing Learn to Fly in order to get the Foo Fighters to come and put on a concert. It has since grown into full scale concerts across Europe. On January 31 the Rockin 1000 played their first concert in America, in New Orleans, and I was part of the band. Let me tell you the story."

Listening to the wisdom of the body and healing thyself is the ultimate flex. Not your peptide and supplement stack.In an era of every biohacker selling their supplements and peptide stack, every integrative and regular physician flogging their HRT and TRT, I'm not even remotely interested in their offerings.What's always fascinated me, is the idea that I can source this healing power from within.Taking a pill or a drug?Not a flex, in my world.It's the opposite—dependency and a cop-out.The sales pitch that you need a medication, supplement or machine in order to feel good, forever and ever—and you can't ever be without it?This is the ultimate snake oil.I'm inspired by the notion that we have the power to heal ourselves.Everyone can.THIS is the true flex in my world and in Anami Land: Connecting with our own bodies and highest wisdom as the oracle. As allies. Rather than an enemy and something to be subjugated.Today's episode is a replay of the Insta Live I did last week, with an additional introduction from me. We talk: A body glossary of reproductive issues and their symbolic meaningsExiting the “age of apology” and normalizing greatness. Not me though, muthafukkas, I never apologized. Unless you count this, the greatest non-apology EVAH! Winning, not whining Vaginal electrocution and lube forever OR being hot as fuck and rocking bikinis and surfing big waves at age 55. You choose.Body-positivity vaginas and cocks or superior, cosmically enlightened onesThe slow tiptoe and MLM scheme of outsourcing reproductive power, starting with Pap Smears and “abnormal cells” and ending in C-sections The root cause of ailments like incontinence, IVF, PCOS, difficult periods and menopause Why didn't her Oura ring stop her from having a C-section? It knows everything, right? Abortion-rabid “feminists” as the most self-oppressed women in society Flute-playing, articulate vaginas that make a man ejaculate or stop him from ejaculating—the ultimate “flex” Shooting ping pong balls is the normal, healthy baseline and minimum skill for all vaginas To receive access to my FREE masterclass: We Are the Elite!

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.
Eliza Marshall is a British flute player acclaimed for her expressive multi-style playing and in this episode we're celebrating her new album “Eternal Birth” in which this award-winning flautist and composer channels over two decades of international collaboration into a bold, genre-defying album, with a rich cinematic soundscape, blending classical, folk and world traditions, with haunting flutes, whistles, bansuris, spoken word, percussion and electronics. Recorded in both the UK and Senegal, the album features an extraordinary line-up of world-class andGrammy Award-Winning musicians: Ady Thioune, Ansumana Suso, Drew Morgan , Dónal Rogers, and Lena Jonsson . Eliza shared her rich musical life: her studies with Michael Cox, her varied career including performing on the long-running West-End show The Lion King in London, touring with Peter Gabriel, and the joys and challenges of using a loop pedal. She shared insights about the importance of the folk band Ranagri in her life, her multi-disciplinary project Freedom to Roam, her love of the Hebrides Islands, the importance of re-wilding, and finding the courage to push boundaries and take risks.This episode is being released a few days before the release of Eternal Birth; you'll find the pre-order link on Eliza's website. I was really inspired to exchange ideas with Eliza about living a life rich with connection and creativity.

2025 Show Notes addendum: In light of the release of C1E100 (the final "non-retrospective" Ch 1), I thought it would also be good to release C2E20 (the final "non-retrospective" Ch 2) as a nice tie-in. Though my production quality has improved somewhat since late 2024, it is nowhere even remotely close to the quantum leap that is the difference between my Dec 2025 and my Jan 2017 production quality difference with C1E1. Channel 2 was a COMPLETELY different kind of show, though. Rather than being a vaguely NPR-esque mixtape-style program that was "less a podcast per se" and more "a late nite FM radio music program which just so happened to go out over the podosphere", Ch 2 was a "proper podcast" with a co-host out of Chicago and myself taking turns sharing tracks and talking about them. We wrapped the show at the end of 2024 because my co-host had been podcasting since 2009, and would be turning 50 in 2025, and so he decided at the end of 2023 that he would be retiring completely from podcasting at the end of 2024, and I didn't feel like replacing him, so we just wrapped it together. Anyway, since we referenced C2E20 and even featured a few tracks from it in C1E100, and since we're rerunning C1E1, I figured I'd rerun this too. By the way: that one upcoming Ch F one-off with Trey Johnson of NintenDomain and W.A.R.T. Radio will be in this exact format - only, obviously, a different co-host. Anyway....enjoy! Also, this rerun will release on Christmas Eve. So, Merry Christmas to anyone who celebrates it - and a belated Happy Hannukah to anyone who celebrates it instead (I celebrate both, myself!) :-D ------------------------------------------------------ orig show notes Today's Broadcast is C2E20, for Theme Thursday, Oct 24th, 2024. All good things must come to an end. Today is the final “regular” (as in, “final non-retrospective” episode - and as opposed to “final all time” episode). This will be the final episode where we bring new tracks to the show, though. So it is still an ending. The theme, therefore, is ending music, on a program we're calling “...all good things…” Track# / Track / Game / System / Composer(s) / Selected By 01) Summer Vacation - Tokyo Xanadu - Multiplatform - Takahiro Unisuga (Falcom Sound Team jdk) - Hugues Earcatcher - 00:00:00 Music - 00:00:03 Introduction - 00:05:23 Top of Show Business - 00:06:14 The Reveal of last episode's mystery themes - 00:09:44 Discussion - 00:24:38 02) Credits - Sonic 2 - Genesis - Masato Nakamura - St. John Music - 00:30:16 Discussion - 00:33:01 03) Staff Roll - Phantasy Star III - Genesis - Ippo Takeuchi - Hugues Music - 00:35:17 Discussion - 00:37:15 04) Ending - Super Castlevania IV - SNES - Masanori Adachi and/or Taro Kudo - St. John Music - 00:42:07 Discussion - 00:44:46 05) Ending - Another World - Amiga - Jean-François Freitas - Hugues Music - 00:54:53 Discussion - 00:56:27 06) Triforce Chamber - LoZ: Link to the Past - SNES - Koji Kondo Music - 01:00:40 Discussion - 01:02:09 07) The Credits Concerto - Donkey Kong Country - SNES - David Wise and/or Eveline Fischer - Hugues Music - 01:08:45 Discussion - 01:10:43 [EDITOR's NOTE: I partially confused Vangelis with fellow Greek musician, Iasos.

Flute 360 | Episode 360: "Closing a Creative Chapter with Intention—A Flute 360 Reflection" This episode marks a meaningful milestone: Episode 360 and seven+ years of Flute 360 podcasting. In this special conversation, I'm joined by my husband, Eric Jay Begay—producer, audio editor, and creative partner—as we reflect on what this journey has meant and why the podcast production itself is coming to a professional pause. Together, we talk about something musicians and creatives rarely discuss: how to discern when a creative chapter is ready to pause, shift, or close with intention. Whether it's an album, a studio, a long-running project, or a season of life, knowing when to pause is a skill—and often an act of wisdom and faith. This conversation is filled with gratitude. Gratitude for our listeners, past sponsors, incredible guests, clients, and the community that has grown alongside this show over the past seven years. It's a celebration of what has been built, not a goodbye. And to be absolutely clear: Flute 360 the business is not ending. Coaching, lessons, the Accelerator, and all other offerings are very much alive and continuing. This is simply a pause in podcast production as we listen for what's next—both within Flute 360 and across our other creative and business endeavors. What We Discuss: What it means to close a creative chapter with intention Lessons learned from seven+ years and 360+ podcast episodes Gratitude for the Flute 360 community, guests, and sponsors Why intentional pauses can lead to deeper alignment and growth Navigating creative pivots with clarity instead of urgency Main Takeaway: Closing or pausing a creative chapter doesn't erase its impact. When done with intention, it honors the work, the growth, and the people who walked the journey with you—and it makes space for what comes next. Follow Heidi! Follow Flute 360 via TikTok!

Flute 360 | Episode 359: "How to Start a Nonprofit Music Organization—Lessons from Dr. Susan Fain" Have you ever felt called to serve your community through music—but weren't sure where to begin? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Susan Fain to talk about what it actually takes to build a nonprofit music organization from the ground up. Dr. Fain shares her journey in Fort Worth, Texas—where she helped create a nonprofit ensemble for medically practicing musicians who still longed for meaningful artistic connection. Together, we explore the realities of nonprofit leadership, community-building, collaboration, and sustaining a mission that brings people together through music. If you've ever wondered whether it's possible to merge artistry, service, and leadership—this conversation will give you insight, encouragement, and practical ideas. What We Discuss: Dr. Susan Fain's path to launching a nonprofit music organization Building community among medically practicing musicians Lessons learned from starting and growing a nonprofit How local partnerships and family support made the work possible Creating meaningful musical experiences outside traditional institutions Why community-centered music-making matters now more than ever Main Takeaway: Starting a nonprofit music organization doesn't begin with perfection—it begins with vision, collaboration, and a willingness to serve. When musicians lead with purpose and community in mind, music becomes a powerful force for connection and healing. Join Us Live: Flute 360 Accelerator on December 20, 2025 If this episode sparks ideas about leadership, community impact, or creating meaningful musical work beyond the traditional path, I'd love to invite you to our next Flute 360 Accelerator session: Saturday, December 20, 2025 from 11 AM–1 PM CT (Chicago, IL, USA) Inside the Accelerator, we unpack projects like this together—ideas, questions, next steps, and sustainable ways to bring your vision to life.
Flute 360 | Episode 358: "Before the Big 360—An Honest Reflection on Calling, Career, and Identity" As Flute 360 approaches a major milestone—360 episodes and seven years on the mic—this solo episode serves as a quiet, heartfelt pause. In Episode 358, Heidi reflects on the journey behind the podcast: the faith, questions, pivots, risks, and relationships that shaped Flute 360 into more than just a show. This episode is not about announcements or strategies—it's about meaning. With honesty and vulnerability, Heidi shares how calling, career, and identity have evolved over decades in music education, performance, entrepreneurship, and seasons of uncertainty. She speaks directly to musicians who have felt boxed into narrow definitions of success, wrestled with comparison, or questioned whether expanding beyond traditional paths means they somehow "failed." This conversation is an invitation back home—to your artistic identity, to community instead of isolation, and to remembering why you were called to music in the first place. It's a grounding moment before Episode 360, and a reminder that growth, faith, and evolution often happen quietly before they're visible. Main Points: Reflecting on seven years of Flute 360 and what this milestone represents Why separating faith, identity, and teaching was never possible for Heidi Redefining success beyond narrow, traditional music career paths Addressing scarcity mindset, comparison culture, and the "top 1%" myth Why pivoting, expanding, or building your own lane does not mean you failed The importance of community, relationships, and shared stories in music Offering a "way back home" to artistry, purpose, and identity Join the Conversation Inside the Flute 360 Accelerator The next live session will take place on: Saturday, December 20, 2025 from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM Central Time.
Flute 360 | Episode 357: "When Teaching Styles Clash—Handling Music Teacher Conflict Without the Drama" Conflicts between music colleagues are more common than we like to admit — and they can show up in band halls, studios, shared programs, and co-teaching situations. In this episode, Dr. Heidi Kay Begay draws from nearly two decades of experience as a professional flutist and music educator to explore how music teachers can navigate these moments with clarity, kindness, and professionalism. From differing teaching methods and pedagogy to shared student populations and communication breakdowns, Heidi walks through real-life examples and offers grounded guidance for addressing conflict without escalating tension or creating confusion for students. This conversation centers on empathy, clear communication, and keeping student growth at the heart of every professional decision. If you've ever felt unsure how to approach a colleague conversation — or worried about maintaining professionalism when teaching styles differ — this episode offers practical perspective and reassurance. Main Points Discussed: The importance of leading with empathy rather than defensiveness How to listen for tone, body language, and context in difficult conversations Navigating shared studios, co-teaching situations, and overlapping student populations Addressing issues directly instead of avoiding uncomfortable conversations Preventing student confusion when multiple instructors are involved How foundational professional relationships support long-term collaboration Why collaboration matters more than competition in music education Key Takeaways: Conflict does not mean failure; it can be an opportunity for growth Clear, kind communication builds trust and respect Students benefit most when educators are aligned, even with different approaches Professionalism and empathy create healthier teaching environments Putting student success first helps resolve even difficult situations Join the Conversation Inside the Flute 360 Accelerator Many of the scenarios discussed in this episode come directly from coaching conversations inside the Flute 360 Accelerator. The next live session will take place on: Saturday, December 20, 2025 from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM Central Time Bring your real-life studio questions, band hall challenges, and professional goals. This session is designed to help you gain clarity, confidence, and practical next steps for your teaching and career.
Flute 360 | Episode 356: "Took a Break? Your Playing Isn't Behind—It's Evolving" This episode is for the musician returning from a hiatus—short or long. Whether life changed, your energy shifted, or you simply needed space, your playing isn't behind. It's evolving. We talk through comparison, fear, grief, and the gentle curiosity needed to rebuild. Breaks don't erase artistry; they often deepen it. What We Discuss: • Why returning to the flute brings up fear, shame, or comparison • How to release old narratives about your "prime" • The role of gentleness, curiosity, and presence in rebuilding • Why negative thoughts aren't truth—just noise • How life experiences enrich your musicianship after a break Main Takeaway: A hiatus does not diminish your artistry. You've grown in ways you may not see yet—and that growth will show up in your sound, your expression, and your interpretation. Join Us Live – December 20, 2025: If you're easing back into playing and want encouragement, community, and tangible next steps, join me inside the Flute 360 Accelerator on Saturday, December 20th, 2025 from 11 AM–1 PM CT. Let's connect you back to the flute – together!
What if everything you built (the money, the status, the business success) left your heart completely empty? In this episode, Dane Maxwell, serial entrepreneur and founder of The Foundation and Paperless Pipeline, shares his raw journey from "3D success" to discovering his sacred calling. After launching more than a dozen businesses and achieving what most would call the dream (money, freedom, recognition), Dane found himself with a hollow heart. Through a prophetic message in a church, answered prayers, and divine signs, he reclaimed the gift he'd buried 10 years earlier: his voice and music. From training 2,000 students (including two billionaires) to singing improvised songs that help people take their most difficult actions, Dane's story reveals the difference between performing for validation and surrendering to become "a flute that the divine blows its breath through." He discusses spiritual hierarchy, the power of slowing down, and why being wanted by God matters more than being wanted by the world. Dane reveals why music is sacred (not about fame or sex), how four signs in one week confirmed his calling, and what it means to approach life from the inside out instead of outside in. [00:02:28] Meeting at Destiny Fest: A Three-Hour Conversation That Wouldn't End Kevin and Dane met at Giovanni Marsico's Destiny Fest in Toronto Sat at dinner table for hours after everyone else left Dane performed an entirely improvised musical piece on stage for 1,400 people Kevin's been connected to Gio for 14 years, watching the vision grow from a dinner conversation to nearly 2,000 attendees [00:05:45] The Philosophy: Greatness in the Moment Most people rehearse before presenting to 1,400 people Dane chose to "dangle by a string," the string of present-moment creation Believes the next evolution of events is not rehearsed but "moment oriented" "I wanted to be present with people instead of rehearsed" Magic happens when people are willing to risk unpreparedness [00:07:54] Current Mission: Music for Difficult Actions Creating songs that help people take the most difficult actions in their lives Actions that would dramatically improve their lives in 90 days Examples: losing weight, starting a business, going to the gym, writing a book, picking up a new hobby Not telling people what to think, singing pure possibility and inspiration into their hearts [00:13:40] The Problem: 3D Success with an Empty Heart Had all the external markers of success: money, time freedom, status, women "3D success," everything in the physical, three-dimensional world But his heart felt completely empty Realized he'd been "distracted by success" as a safe, socially acceptable way to avoid vulnerability Business felt safe; true connection and music felt vulnerable [00:15:06] How Men Are Stripped of Their Power "You make them believe that the outside world can make them happy" Make men believe worth is achievement, status, attention The world is designed to engineer us to strip us of our power Jesus had a donkey and white robe but was "beaming with power" External trappings (beautiful women, cars, homes) are an illusion when coming from a dissociated place [00:19:00] The Spiritual Hierarchy and Heart Pursuit Jesus's heart field could reportedly be felt from two miles away (average is 15-50 feet) Dane was raised Christian with teaching that "the heart is deceitful and wicked" Felt he couldn't trust his own heart, so wrapped it in external things Realized the teaching was "not being communicated or translated correctly" Started approaching life inside out instead of outside in [00:21:06] The Turning Point: Slowing Down and Hearing "Sing" Heart kept feeling empty despite business success Slowed down and heard the word "sing" Initial resistance: "I'm a six-foot-one 42-year-old white male, I don't look like a singer" Thought he was "such a broken man" that performing for others was the best he could do Admits: "When I say I don't know what I'm doing, it's very honest" [00:24:00] Teaching Wealth: The Karma of Money Taught 2,000 students how to build wealth Two billionaire students, one valued at $1 billion, one student exited for $500 million Half of students did very well, other half probably shouldn't have bought the program Friend Danielle LaPorte said people have their own "karma to sort out with money" [00:24:30] The Church Moment: Getting His Gift Back Age 31, attending Bethel Church (Holy Spirit-led church) Pastor stops mid-worship, points directly at him: "Son, I just got a message from God" "He didn't trust you with a gift, so he took it away. But he trusts you with it now, so he gave it back" Dane's hand went to his throat, realized it was his singing voice Had trained intensely for his first open mic at age 21 [00:28:20] Eleven Years of Fear and Teetering 11 years since that church moment Released four albums, done shows, played for 1,400 people But always "teetering around it" Wasn't sure if he was authentically interested or just trying to impress people Admitted fear: maybe doing it "to get laid" (common male conditioning around music) [00:29:00] The Week of Signs: Music Is Sacred Got hypnotherapy session to bring more freedom to singing During hypnosis, saw subconscious belief: "I'm just trying to do this to get laid" Sign #1: Massage therapist's hat said "MUSIC IS SACRED" Sign #2: Someone wrote "I hope you're doing music" Sign #3: On a business Zoom, someone private messaged "Hey, how's music?" Sign #4: Woman he used to date said "Obviously you're supposed to be doing music" [00:36:29] Rumi and Becoming a Flute for the Divine Quotes Rumi: "I am but a flute that the Christ blows its breath through" In spiritual hierarchy, highest level before God is Lord Christ Jesus was "Christed," fully surrendered mediator for Lord Christ Got off stage thinking "nobody got any flavor of me, I blew it" Heard hysterical laughter (maybe angels): "You were just an instrument for love" [00:39:40] The Mecca of Bliss Bob Dylan and Michael Jordan have "an extra sense of something else" That's spiritual connection coming through their work "That's the mecca, the mecca of bliss" Dissolve all sense of self, merge with Christ, allow God's love to flow through [00:40:20] Approaching Life Inside Out Doesn't have hot girlfriend, sexy car, amazing mansion anymore "Am I way happier than when I had any of that stuff? Does any of me want any of that stuff? Maybe if it's aligned" Not an ache because approaching life from inside out If something feels "authentic to my core," he'll get it Deep enough in his body now to not fool himself [00:41:40] The Vocal Cord Miracle and Feeling Unwanted Went to ear, nose, throat doctor after the church message Doctor put camera down his throat, looked at vocal cords "Dane, your vocal cords look pristine" The four signs made him "feel so wanted by God" Mother was concert-level flute player, listened to sophisticated music in the womb [00:46:20] Holy Spirit Working Through Connection Marcus Collier told Kevin: "This is the Holy Spirit working through you" Making introductions and connections is being a vessel When you allow it, you become more effective They want more of that feeling [00:49:36] Where to Find Dane and Final Message Instagram: @musicbydane (Music by Dane) Website: danemaxwell.com (book, businesses, principles) Encourages Christians: stay where you are, it's close to God Book recommendation: "The Great Work of Your Life" "May anybody who loves God the way they do continue to love God the way they do" KEY QUOTES "How do you strip men of their power? You make them believe that the outside world can make them happy. You make them believe that worth is an achievement. That worth is status, that worth is attention." - Dane Maxwell "What we're supposed to be doing with our life is evolving our consciousness to such a state that we can become a completely surrendered vessel for the divine love of God to flow through. That's the mecca, the mecca of bliss." - Dane Maxwell "I've felt so unwanted on the earth and in my life, and just such a deep degree of unwantedness, which was a product of the conditioning of the nineties, which is you have to be a certain way to be wanted." - Dane Maxwell "In Isaiah they say, and the Lord said, whom shall I send? And I said, here am I. Send me." - Isaiah (quoted by Dane) CONNECT WITH DANE MAXWELL
Rich Christiano is a film writer, director & producer. In 2002 he, along with his brother Dave, formed Five & Two Pictures, reminiscent of the lad who shared what he had – 5 loaves and two fish. Rich is responsible for multiple films such as Time Changer, Unidentified, The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry, A Matter of Faith, Play the Flute and Mind Reader. As Christians we need to think on those things that Paul wrote about. It's those things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely and of good report. Rich understands this and that's why he follows these three criteria when it comes to producing movies. They must please the Lord, motivate Christians to live for the Lord and they must share the Gospel. It's from this perspective that Rich spoke from as he described 4 powerful films that he's produced and how they can be used by you to share God's great gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. Jim also provided audio clips from each movie that highlights their impact: The movies discussed were: Unidentified—Two reporters for a magazine investigate a UFO sighting in a small Texas town. The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry (Jonathan is played by Gavin McLeod)—Taking place in 1970, this movie is about a 75 year old man who befriends three, 12 year old boys and begins holding Bible studies with them. A Matter of Faith—A drama about a woman (Rachel Whitaker) that goes to college where her biology teacher (played by Harry Anderson) teaches evolution. Play the Flute—A youth pastor takes over an indifferent youth group and tries to motivate these kids and encourage them to get serious about a relationship with the Lord just by using the Bible and not fun and games.
Flute 360 | Episode 355: "Your Spoken Voice Is Your Flute Voice—Here's How to Reunite Them" If you feel disconnected from your playing—unsure, hesitant, or muted—this episode uncovers why. Often, the break isn't just musical; it's between your spoken voice and your flute voice. We revisit early musical memories, confidence wounds, comparison culture, and the pressures that disconnect musicians from their natural expressive centers. You'll learn how your everyday voice can guide you back to authenticity in your artistry. What We Discuss: • How comparison and grading environments could fracture artistic confidence • The moment your spoken and flute voices drifted apart • How past teachers and early musical memories shaped your expression • Why reclaiming your spoken voice repairs your musical voice • Practical ways to bring conversational ease into your playing Main Takeaway: Your flute voice is simply your spoken voice expressed through another medium. When the two reunite, confidence rises, anxiety softens, and your playing becomes more honest, grounded, and you. Join Us Live – December 20, 2025: If this episode stirred something in you, and you want a safe place to reconnect with your artistic voice, join our next Flute 360 Accelerator session on Saturday, December 20th, 2025 from 11 AM–1 PM CT.

Flute 360 | Episode 354: "Stop Waiting for Perfect Conditions—Practice Without the Flute on Your Face" If you've ever told yourself "I don't have time to practice," this episode will free you. We look at why waiting for the perfect moment keeps musicians stuck—and why some of your most meaningful practice can happen away from the flute. Using the score, your voice, visualization, analysis, listening, and intentional micro-practice, you can move your artistry forward even on the busiest days. What We Discuss: • Why perfectionism keeps you from practicing at all • How to redefine what "counts" as practice • Simple ways to practice without the flute on your face • How 5–10 focused minutes can outshine an hour of distracted work • Creative solutions for practicing inside a busy, very human life Main Takeaway: High-quality, intentional practice doesn't require the perfect setting. You can grow your artistry in the margins of your life—one mindful minute at a time. Join Us Live – December 20, 2025: If you want support creating a practice routine that works with your real life—not against it—come join our next Flute 360 Accelerator session on Saturday, December 20th, 2025 from 11 AM–1 PM CT (Chicago, USA).

Flute 360 | Episode 353: "The Baby Metaphor That Will Change How You Practice Forever" If you've ever played all the "right" notes yet still felt disconnected from your musical expression, this episode will change how you practice forever. In E353, I share a simple baby metaphor that has transformed the way my clients build emotional connection and artistic intention from the very first practice session. Most musicians try to "add expression later," but that approach actually keeps the music from feeling alive. This episode gives you a new way to weave expression, story, and heart into your playing from day one—so your performances feel more honest, more expressive, and fully you. What We Discuss: Why technically strong musicians still feel stuck or emotionally flat How academic training (and jury sheets) could shape our artistic habits The baby metaphor that helps you nurture expression from the beginning Why emotional connection can't be saved for "later" in the process How your life experiences influence colors, vibrato, and phrasing A simple mindset shift to build a deeper relationship with your repertoire Main Takeaway: Expression isn't something you sprinkle on top once the technique is done—it's part of the musical DNA. When you nurture your piece from the very beginning, the final performance becomes more convincing, more expressive, and more you.

Flute 360 | Episode 352: "Stop Shrinking—How to Take Up Healthy Artistic Space as a Musician" If you've ever felt yourself shrinking—apologizing for your sound, playing small in rehearsal, or holding back your musical voice—this episode is for you. Today, we explore why so many musicians collapse inward (mentally, emotionally, and physically) and how to reclaim the healthy artistic space you were designed to inhabit. Across all ages and stages—middle schoolers, college musicians, adult hobbyists, professionals—this pattern appears: talented artists who know what they're capable of internally but feel unable to express it externally. In this conversation, I walk you through the deeper causes behind shrinking behavior and how past comments, environments, or relationships may have taught you to retreat rather than rise. We talk about understanding your worth, advocating for yourself, releasing toxic narratives, and learning to stand in a posture—physically and emotionally—that supports confident, resonant playing. This work is not just about tone or technique; it's about identity, healing, and showing up with presence and intention in your artistry. This episode invites you to notice where you've made yourself small, question the origins of those patterns, and begin stepping forward with courage, clarity, and joy. What We Discuss: Why musicians across all ages tend to shrink in certain environments How authority figures and educational settings shape artistic confidence The difference between healthy respect and unhealthy silence Physical collapse vs. mental retreat, and how the body reveals fear How past comments and old narratives get stored in the lungs and breath Why embodied confidence is essential for expressive, resonant playing How reclaiming artistic space restores joy in practicing and performing A framework for identifying where and why you're minimizing yourself Ways to release old stories so your authentic musical voice can emerge Main Takeaway: You are designed to take up healthy artistic space. When you stand in your God-given identity—emotionally, physically, spiritually—your artistry expands. Your breath frees. Your sound opens. Your presence shifts. And the music you share becomes a reflection of the truth of who you are, not who past voices told you to be.

In this episode, Jason Ingber sits down with comedian Menachem Kashanian, an Iranian-Jewish storyteller with one of the most shocking true experiences you'll ever hear. Menachem reveals how a supposed Netflix casting call for the show Tehran led him into a covert Israeli operation designed to rescue 500 Jewish refugees trapped in Syria. What began as a mysterious Facebook message turned into a month of tactical training, a new identity, and a mission known internally as "Free the Flute." He explains how he was trained to pose as an introverted Armenian musician, learned to play the nay (Middle Eastern flute), infiltrated a Syrian orchestra, and used music to gather intelligence inside refugee camps, ultimately helping save hundreds of lives. Menachem also shares hilarious and unbelievable stories from his personal life, including: • His eccentric billionaire uncle Darush, a dominant figure in Beverly Hills real estate • Wild encounters with Kris Jenner, the Kardashians, and Erewhon staff • The creation of his prank series Old Blood (Hun Parol) • His docuseries Know Before Who You Stand • His friendship with Floyd Mayweather, who quietly supports Jewish communities • A chilling conversation with Mika Kubi, the woman who interrogated Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar for 180+ hours This episode blends comedy, Middle Eastern culture, real-life spy operations, and powerful Jewish storytelling, all through Menachem's unique, unfiltered voice.
