Send a textWhen anxious and avoidant partners try to talk through conflict… it often gets worse.One person pushes for answers. The other shuts down.Words start flying around the room. But somehow, no one feels heard.In this episode of Love Shack Live, we're continuing our series on the anxious-avoidant dynamic by exploring the skills that actually help couples stay connected when conversations get hard.Because most couples believe the solution is simple: “Let's just talk it through.”But when emotions are high, something important disappears.Listening.Instead of understanding each other, couples end up talking at each other… escalating the very dynamic they're trying to solve.In this conversation, we break down the relationship skills that make communication possible again, especially for couples caught in the anxious-avoidant loop.You'll learn:Why pushing a conversation when emotions are high almost always backfiresThe moment most couples miss when conflict starts escalatingWhy anxious and avoidant partners are often feeling the same emotional overwhelm, just expressing it differentlyThe surprising reason many people feel safer being understood by technology than by another human beingAnd three practical skills that help couples pause, regulate, and reconnect instead of spiralingIf you've ever walked away from a conversation feeling like nothing was actually resolved… this episode will help you understand why.And more importantly, what to do instead.Because relationships don't thrive when people never get upset.They thrive when people learn how to recognize the moment things are going sideways… regulate themselves… and come back to the conversation with more clarity.This episode is the final teaching installment in our anxious-avoidant series.Next week, we'll answer real listener questions about anxious and avoidant relationships submitted through email, social media, and private messages.Resources MentionedClarity Call with Tom:

AI-powered agents and robots are already technically capable of performing an increasing share of human work. So how can workers, managers and organizations adapt to the dramatic shift?  A new McKinsey Global Institute report offers a roadmap. While AI is transforming the workplace at unprecedented speed, people will remain essential for many tasks that are still beyond AI's capabilities—and to supervise, manage and collaborate with the technology. In fact, the demand for workers with AI fluency has grown dramatically over the past two years. Work in the future will be a partnership between people, agents and robots.  Which skills are likely to be most—and least—impacted by automation? How can public institutions help by aligning education and training with emerging skill needs—from AI fluency to skilled trades—and widening access to opportunity? And what strategies can organizations adopt to help their workforce adapt? Join us for a conversation with report authors Alexis Krivkovich and Anu Madgavkar of McKinsey Global Institute, along with Katy George, Microsoft's corporate vice president of workforce transformation, and Kevin Delaney, editor-in-chief of The San Francisco Standard. They will discuss the research findings and share practical guidance for navigating the transition to human-AI collaboration at work. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Send us fan responses! Ever feel like the system is built to keep you compliant and broke? We go straight at the root: status, contracts, and how to build a private life the state doesn't control. From the way schools train obedience to the way courts extract value, we unpack how your identity is treated like a business—and how to take the driver's seat with trusts, DBAs, and clear boundaries that protect your assets and time.We map a practical blueprint. Start by formalizing your family trust and placing a holding company in a protective state like Nevada or Wyoming. Use DBAs for children's names, separate roles to avoid commingling, and learn the key signals that shift jurisdiction—like reserving rights and declining to contract in court. Then layer on finance: fund the trust, leverage cash value life insurance for lines of credit, and consider offshore jurisdictions such as Nevis or the Cook Islands for advanced asset protection. This isn't about hiding; it's about lawful structure and tax avoidance the way corporations have done for decades.Along the way, we explore identity, language, and power. Tribal models in Africa, private communities, and even micronations in Nevada highlight how groups claim autonomy with bylaws, culture, and clear leadership. We connect that to modern tools—crypto, mobile money, and private IDs for specific travel contexts—to move fluidly across borders and systems. And we ground it all in mindset: truth as an energy saver, intuition as a compass, and daily rituals that turn intent into action. Freedom is a paperwork skill and a discipline.

The best careers are built on curiosity. Bill Gurley — the legendary Benchmark Capital investor behind Uber, Zillow, and Snapchat — makes that case in his new book, Runnin' Down a Dream. I sat down with him on the same day we published LinkedIn's annual Skills on the Rise list, and his message felt like a perfect companion to it: the skill that makes all the others possible is being a continuous learner. And for that, Bill says, you need to have fascination.

She helps people break free from sleep anxiety and rediscover their natural ability to sleep—without expensive gadgets, supplements, or medications. When you collaborate with her, you will learn lifelong skills that empower you to sleep well, no matter what life throws your way. Using evidence-based methods, she supports adults worldwide in letting go of constant worries about sleep, so they can enjoy deep, restorative rest each night. No gimmicks. No fads. No sprays. Just real solutions that work.Are you ready to step off the hamster wheel of overthinking, sleep anxiety, and restless nights—and finally start sleeping better?If you feel like you have tried everything—CBD, pillow sprays, magic masks, weighted blankets, garlic rubs, acupuncture, tapping—you are not alone. These products are everywhere because they are easy to buy and promise quick fixes, not because they deliver lasting results.The truth is there is no evidence that these things work for insomnia. But evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Insomnia (ACT-I) help over 85% of people who try them. That includes people who have struggled for years, those coming off sleep medications, and even those who feel like they've “tried everything”—even if you have chronic pain or are experiencing menopause symptoms. https://www.tracythesleepcoach.co.uk/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

We are living in what one CHRO recently called “an era with no destination.” Jobs are evolving, technology is accelerating, and the rules of career progression are being rewritten in real time.In this forward-looking conversation, executive recruiter and career strategist Becky Heidesch joins us to unpack what AI, automation, and digital acceleration really mean for the workforce, especially for leaders and ambitious professionals trying to stay relevant.Becky opens with a bold reality: over the next five years, millions of jobs are projected to change or disappear. Is this a crisis moment or a reinvention moment?Her answer: both.For those who lean in, upskill, and embrace the tools, it is an unprecedented opportunity. For those who resist or delay, it can quickly become disruptive.We explore:• Why AI is coming for tasks, not people • How automation can elevate human interaction instead of replacing it • The growing digital skills divide across generations • Why learning must become continuous, not episodic • How leaders can prepare teams for roles that do not yet existBecky shares her STEEP Qualifications Framework, focusing on Skills, Tools, Education, Experience, and Personal qualifications as a practical way to manage career growth. Her message is clear: you must get in the driver's seat of your own career.One of the most compelling ideas in this episode is her “three-career strategy.” Instead of betting your future on a single lane, she encourages professionals to stack skills and think in phases. What you want in your 20s may not serve you in your 50s. Building multiple streams of income and developing adaptable capabilities creates resilience in uncertain markets.We also tackle education reform, corporate training, and the need to shift from memorization to comprehension. In a world where information is instantly accessible, competitive advantage shifts to adaptability, curiosity, and execution.This episode is not about fear. It is about agency.If you want to future-proof your career in the next 90 days, Becky's advice is simple and powerful: get clear on your direction and start aligning your resources accordingly.AI is accelerating change. The question is not whether disruption is coming. The question is whether you are preparing for it.Be sure to check the show notes for Becky's book, The Career Masterclass for Women.From Our Sponsor(s)...Optimize Pharmacy Benefits with RxBenefitsElevate your employee benefits while managing costs.

Strategic workforce planning is back, and not in a nostalgic “this trend is back around” kind of way. It is back because the old staffing model, react late, hire fast, hope the market delivers, is failing more often than it works. The biggest misunderstanding is still the same one: strategic workforce planning is not long-term headcount forecasting. It is not a spreadsheet exercise dressed up with better visuals. It is a business discipline that exists for one reason, to stop leaders from committing to strategies the workforce cannot deliver.In this episode of Workplace Stories, David Edwards, author of The Strategic Workforce Planning Handbook, lays out a definition of SWP that is refreshingly usable. Strategic workforce planning is workforce planning for the strategic things in the organization, not an attempt to plan the entire workforce. That single shift makes SWP more approachable, more realistic, and far more effective.If you have not listened yet, this is one of those episodes worth hearing end-to-end. The conversation is practical, occasionally blunt, and full of the kind of “this is what actually happens inside companies” detail that most workforce planning content avoids.You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...[00:00] A clearer, more usable definition of strategic workforce planning.[00:43] Why SWP is back right now.[03:20] How SWP supports scenario thinking without false precision.[09:50] The questions SWP must answer to be useful.[11:40] Uncertainty, talent scarcity, and skills half-life as drivers.[14:30] Why SWP is an exercise in ambiguity, not certainty.[17:20] Why SWP works best as a business process, not an HR project.[20:05] What HR should do if it is not included in strategy conversations.[22:00] How to define “strategic” beyond leadership roles.[25:10] Why tasks matter more than skills for future work.[28:00] The contextual data missing from most workforce planning.[31:15] How AI forces better workforce planning questions.[41:20] What happens when SWP forces leaders to narrow priorities.[45:30] What to do when the business will not listen.[46:45] Why this work matters at the human level.Strategic Workforce Planning Starts With One Uncomfortable QuestionStrategic workforce planning becomes useful the moment it stops pretending it can predict the future. The real starting point is simple: Is the workforce fit for the organization's future business purpose? That framing does two things immediately. First, it moves SWP out of the “HR process” bucket and into the “business execution” bucket. Second, it forces the conversation away from false certainty and toward risk, trade-offs, and feasibility.One of the most helpful parts of this episode is how clearly the conversation draws a line between strategic and long-term. Strategic does not automatically mean five years out. In some organizations, planning 15 months ahead is strategic compared to how they have historically operated. If you want the cleanest definition of SWP in the most human language possible, it is worth listening to the early part of the conversation where this is unpacked in real time.Why Workforce Planning Has ReturnedWorkforce planning always comes and goes. It resurfaces when the world feels unstable, and it fades when leaders believe they can hire their way out of problems.Right now, hiring your way out of problems is not working.There is too much uncertainty, and it is coming from too many directions at once. Geopolitical instability affects where work can happen. Talent shortages continue to constrain hiring. Skills decay faster than most organizations can reskill. Generational shifts are changing expectations around mobility and development. And technology is changing the shape of work itself.The point is not that leaders suddenly became more disciplined. The point is that the environment is forcing discipline.Strategic workforce planning is the response to that reality. Not because it gives certainty, but because it gives options. It gives a way to talk about what might happen without having to pretend anyone knows exactly what will happen.Strategic Workforce Planning Works When It Stops Being “HR's Thing”A lot of SWP efforts fail for a predictable reason. They are treated like an HR deliverable. A report. A deck. A spreadsheet. A set of numbers handed over to leadership. Strategic workforce planning is not a deliverable. It is a business process. It is a feasibility process. It is a risk conversation. One of the strongest through-lines in this episode is the idea that HR must initiate this conversation, not because HR owns strategy, but because HR holds the missing information. HR knows things about recruiting realities, workforce behavior, retention patterns, internal mobility, and capability development that business leaders often overlook.But knowledge is not enough. The shift HR has to make is from reporting to synthesis. People analytics without business context is just numbers. When workforce data is layered onto business strategy, a story emerges. A small function may be revenue-critical. A demographic cliff may be coming. The external market may not supply replacements. The timeline may be unrealistic.This is where SWP becomes sharp.Strategic Does Not Mean Leadership OnlyMany organizations quietly turn strategic workforce planning into succession planning. They define strategic as director and above, focus on leadership roles, and build plans around titles. That is leadership continuity planning. It is not strategic workforce planning. Strategic workforce planning is about what is material. Sometimes the most strategic workforce segment is a small team of individual contributors with rare expertise and direct revenue impact. They may never appear in succession planning decks. They may not have high-profile titles. But losing them becomes a board-level issue the moment revenue drops or delivery fails. Skills Are Not the Answer, Tasks Are the Missing MiddleSkills still matter, but the skills conversation has gotten out ahead of itself. The problem is not that skills are irrelevant. The problem is that skills are being treated as the answer to a question they cannot solve. Skills describe people. Work is made of tasks. People use skills to perform tasks. That middle layer is what connects workforce planning to reality. This becomes especially obvious when AI enters the picture. AI does not simply change which skills people need. It changes which tasks exist, how tasks are performed, and which tasks no longer require a human at all. If an organization cannot describe how work is changing at the task level, the skills conversation stays abstract. It becomes a taxonomy exercise instead of a planning exercise .This is one of the most useful reframes in the conversation, and if you are wrestling with the skills-versus-tasks debate inside your organization, it is worth hearing how this is discussed in context.Workforce Planning Has to Include the Person, Not Just the SkillA skill taxonomy can tell an organization that someone has a skill. It cannot tell the organization whether that person wants to use it. Whether they have demonstrated it in real execution. Whether they are willing to take on leadership. Whether they just moved into a role and are still ramping. Strategic workforce planning becomes more realistic when it includes contextual data, not just skill labels. This is where SWP becomes less about classification and more about decision-making. It stops treating people like skill containers and starts treating them like human beings with preferences, histories, and constraints.HR Influence Requires Persistence, Risk Language, and Political SkillEven when HR gets the analysis right, many organizations still do not listen. That is not paranoia. It is often true. In environments where HR has historically been transactional, leaders do not expect HR to challenge strategy feasibility. They do not expect HR to raise uncomfortable risks. They do not expect HR to show up with options. Strategic workforce planning forces HR into a different posture. It requires HR to speak in the language of risk, to persist, and to get political when necessary. If one group will not listen, find another that will. Engage operational risk. Borrow credibility. Use the channels that the organization already respects. This is one of those episodes where the advice is not theoretical. It is practical, and it is the kind of thing HR leaders often need to hear said out loud.Connect With David EdwardsDavid Edwards on LinkedinConnect With RedThread ResearchWebsite: Red Thread ResearchOn LinkedInOn FacebookOn Twitter

AI is rapidly changing how marketing teams operate. But technology adoption is moving faster than marketers themselves.In this episode of CMO Convo, Webflow CMO Dave Steer shares how marketing leaders should think about AI adoption, team structure, and the future of the marketing role.While AI can dramatically increase efficiency, the real challenge isn't the technology. It's helping teams develop the skills, processes, and critical thinking needed to use it effectively.

Many online businesses fail to grow not because of bad products, but because of bad hiring. In this episode of The Opportunity Podcast, Greg speaks with Mads Singers, a management coach who runs multiple recruitment businesses, to talk about where founders go wrong when building teams. One of the most important hiring considerations is cultural fit. Culture is defined by behavior, not by what's written on your website, but by what you allow. If missed deadlines slide or high performers behave poorly without consequences, that becomes the standard. New hires quickly adjust to whatever they see around them. We also discuss why personality often matters more than experience. Skills can be trained. Behavior is much harder to change. Matching someone's natural strengths to the role dramatically increases your odds of success. Mads also reveals how he finds the best talent. The strongest candidates are usually already employed. If you're just posting a job ad and waiting, you're likely missing them. Expanding your reach and being proactive increases your chances of finding someone exceptional. And if you're hiring a specialist in an area you don't understand? Borrow expertise. Bring in someone knowledgeable to assess technical skill, then set clear expectations from day one. Mads explains that hiring isn't about filling seats. It's about building a team that solves problems without you. That's what turns a stressful job into a scalable, sellable asset. If you're hiring right now, planning to hire, or feeling frustrated with your current team, this episode is worth a listen. Topics Discussed in this episode: Mads' background and his recruitment companies (02:18) Mistakes and key characteristics to look for when hiring new staff (07:03) Why personality matters more than skills (10:07) The importance of identifying and protecting your company culture (14:16) Identifying proactive people and supporting new hires (23:16) How to make your job posting more attractive (28:58) How to hire high-level leadership positions from outside your business (33:14) Hiring, evaluating, and managing people more skilled than you (42:39) Information about the SEO Mastery Summit happening in March (48:20) Mentions:  Empire Flippers Podcasts Empire Flippers Marketplace Create an Empire Flippers account Subscribe to our newsletter Mads' website Mads' LinkedIn Sit back, grab a coffee, and learn how to hire the right people for your business!

The labor market is evolving faster than traditional signals of competence can keep up. Roles are shifting, technology is accelerating, and employers are searching for clearer ways to identify real capability. In that environment, degrees remain valuable, but verified skills are becoming increasingly central to hiring and advancement.In a marketplace now saturated with more than a million credentials, clarity has become the differentiator. Some credentials function as marketing tools. Others function as infrastructure for trust. The difference lies in independence, rigor, defensibility, and industry validation.In this conversation with Kathleen McNally, CEO of NOCTI, we explore how high-quality third-party credentials create reliable signals for employers, meaningful exit value for learners, and actionable tools for educators. From ISO-backed certification standards to performance testing and stackable micro-credentials, this episode reframes credentials as essential infrastructure for a more agile, skills-driven economy.In this Episode:Why employers are shifting from degree-first to skills-aware hiringWhat separates a participation badge from a legally defensible certificationHow micro-credentials create flexibility without sacrificing rigorHow “exit value” changes the way we think about graduationWhy performance-based assessment strengthens workforce confidence3 Big Takeaways1. Verified credentials are strengthening the signal in a fast-moving labor market. As job roles evolve more quickly than traditional degree cycles, employers are seeking precise indicators of job-ready capability. Third-party certifications developed with national industry input provide measurable proof of occupational and technical competency.2. Quality and independence determine whether a credential carries real weight. With more than a million credentials available, rigor is what separates noise from trust. ISO-aligned, legally defensible certifications built through independent subject matter experts reduce hiring risk and create consistency across regions and employers.3. Micro-credentials are enabling lifelong learning with structure and momentum. Stackable certifications allow learners to document specific competencies at any stage of their career. Whether entering the workforce, reskilling mid-career, or adding new capabilities such as AI literacy, credentials create flexible on-ramps and sustained pathways for advancemenWe want to hear from you!

Send a textWhat happens when a movement-first profession steps into a simulation lab built for physiology and decision-making under pressure? We sit down with Denise Romano, an assistant professor leading physical therapy simulation at Binghamton University, to unpack how PT learners can safely practice high-stakes mobility long before they enter acute care. From AFib in the ICU to COPD patients whose vitals shift during transfers, Denise maps out realistic scenarios that force students to balance safety, lines and tubes, and evolving clinical data while communicating clearly as a team.We walk through a full landscape of PT-focused simulations: early infection control adapted from nursing with Glow Germ, mobility checkoffs in hospital-like spaces, ventilator cases requiring careful progression, and standardized patient interviews for differential diagnosis. Denise explains why PT relies heavily on SPs for authentic movement, where mannequins still shine for physiologic fidelity, and how thoughtful debriefs convert messy moments into durable clinical judgment. Her use of entrustability scales tied to EPAs gives faculty a shared framework to chart each learner's path from novice to entry-ready clinician, with formative feedback that guides safer practice.The conversation also tackles the big barrier: unlike nursing, PT lacks the large-scale evidence to replace a portion of clinical hours with simulation. Denise makes a compelling case for a multi-site study to unlock that recognition, particularly as acute care placements tighten and risk tolerance narrows. She also shares a favorite classroom memory that turned a tangled SCD mistake into a lifelong safety cue, highlighting why simulated missteps are often the most memorable teachers. If you care about physical therapy education, clinical placements, competency assessment, or the future of healthcare simulation, you'll leave with concrete ideas and renewed urgency to give PT a stronger seat at the table.Subscribe for more conversations on simulation, clinical education, and the skills that move patient care forward.

(00:00:00) We look back at Ephraim Slaughter: Freedom’s Witness, the one-act production created for the Annual Dauphin County Black History Celebration by Sankofa African American Theatre Company and Gamut Theatre, in partnership with the National Civil War Museum. Actors Marcus McGhee and Melinda Anderson help us revisit the life of Ephraim Slaughter—a man born enslaved who became a Union Army veteran, community leader, and witness to a century of American change. Through their performances, the play brings audiences into a Harrisburg room in 1943, where memory, resilience, and long-silenced truths finally speak. (00:22:02) Then we turn to a new Pennsylvania law requiring cursive handwriting instruction in schools. Dr. Kerry Hasler-Brooks and Dr. Sarah Fischer explore why cursive still matters—from reading historical documents to strengthening cognitive development, deepening literacy skills, and slowing down enough to think critically in a fast-paced digital world. Together, they make the case that preserving history isn’t just about the stories we tell—it’s about ensuring future generations can read them.

  In this episode, Dr. Diane Van Staden explores how healthcare professionals often underestimate their value due to habituation and invisibility of their skills. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing transferable skills, understanding one's worth beyond job titles, and embracing the potential for meaningful career pivots. Key  topics Underestimation of professional value Transferable skills of clinicians Reframing job titles and identity Questions to identify personal strengths Confidence and self-worth in career change Takeaways Healthcare professionals often underestimate their skills because they are normalized and invisible. Transferable skills like decision-making, emotional intelligence, and advocacy are highly valuable beyond clinical settings. Your job title is just one expression of your identity; your true value lies in your problem-solving abilities. Asking what problems you naturally solve and what environments bring out your strengths reveals your true worth. Confidence in career pivots comes from knowing your intrinsic value, not just your next step. Join the Pivot Crash Course and start building your career with clarity and confidence

Good vs. bad.But what if the issue isn't your willpower…What if you're just asking food to do the wrong job?In this episode, I break down two foundational, proprietary skills that completely change how you think about eating:The NSS framework (nourishing, satisfying, satiating) — and why missing ONE of those derails everythingThe “jobs of foods” concept — and how that's what's actually behind “once I start, I can't stop”This isn't about tracking harder or putting more rules in place. It's about creating a way of eating that actually works for you.If you've ever said:“I can't have that in the house.”“I don't know what works for me.” "Once I start, I can't stop."This super specific, actionable episode will change everything for you. Click here to see the NSS infographic on my website!Connect with JordanaFind me on InstagramSign up for my weekly letter with personal stories and nutrition, body image and mindset tipsSchedule a free discovery call to talk more about working together Listen to more episodes of The Diet Diaries

Most family historians spend a lot of time thinking about what they still have left to find. There is always another record to track down, another county to search, another family story to check, and another ancestor who refuses to come into focus. That is part of what keeps genealogy interesting. There is always one more question waiting. But in the middle of all that searching, many people miss something important. They miss how much they have learned. That is worth noticing. Genealogy is not only about collecting names, adding dates, and filling a chart. It is also about learning how to think like a researcher. It is about learning how to ask better questions, how to study records more carefully, and how to tell the difference between a clue and a conclusion. Those skills do not appear all at once. They grow over time, often so gradually that you do not realize how much stronger you have become. You may still have hard lines in your tree. You may still have problems that seem impossible. You may still stare at a record and wonder what you are supposed to do with it. None of that means you are not growing. In many cases, it means you are deeper into the work than you used to be. It means you have moved past the early excitement of grabbing every new name and have started learning what good genealogy really looks like. That shift is important...

What happens after you build a fully booked massage practice… and realize that's not the end goal? In this interview, I sit down with Cody and Allyson of Two Hearts Bodywork to unpack what it really takes to grow beyond six figures in a massage therapy business without burning out your body or sacrificing your freedom. From launching their brick-and-mortar practice with no safety net… To raising prices three times in two years… To building recurring revenue through memberships… To scaling into online income, digital products, and mentorship… This conversation pulls back the curtain on what entrepreneurship can look like in 2026. Inside this episode, we dive into: • How to monetize an audience as a massage therapist • Why "fully booked" isn't the final level of success • Creating semi-passive income with digital products • Designing a 15-day work month while increasing revenue • Building systems that allow maternity leave, travel, and true time freedom • When (and why) to scale your practice with a team • The mindset shifts required to move from scarcity to abundance • Why mentorship is the fastest shortcut to business growth Cody and Allyson share the honest evolution from hands-on practitioners to multi-revenue-stream entrepreneurs including the fears they had around hiring, scaling, and stepping into bigger rooms with bigger business owners. If you're a massage therapist, bodyworker, or wellness business owner who wants more income, more freedom, and more control over your time, this episode will challenge the way you think about success. Because being fully booked is great. But designing your life? That's next level.   Learn more about Cody and Allyson at: https://twoheartsbodywork.com/ Instagram: @twoheartsbodywork  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  Want to build a wellness practice that gives you both TIME and MONEY?

Have you ever felt like the more you learn about music production, the harder it actually gets to finish a song? You aren't alone. In this episode, I'm sharing the 5 biggest mental blocks I've faced, from "tutorial paralysis" to the crushing weight of trying to be a "Great Artist," and the practical shifts I used to break through them. After 6 years of the Jamuary challenge, I've learned that the secret to finishing more music isn't a new plugin or more music theory; it's about moving from a romanticized "Artist" identity to a prolific "Maker" mindset. In this episode, we discuss:  The "Quantity Over Quality" Hack: Why having a routine allows you to fail safely. The Skills of Finishing: Why completing "bad" music is the only way to prepare for your best work. Learning by Doing: How to escape the "Tutorial Junkie" cycle and get your hands dirty. Killing the "Artist" Label: Why viewing your work as a "body of work" is more freeing than chasing a single masterpiece. Stop overthinking, start creating, and let's get those ideas out of your DAW and into the world.  Listen on Apple, Spotify, YouTube Links: Brian Funk Website - https://brianfunk.com Music Production Club - https://brianfunk.com/mpc  5-Minute Music Producer - https://brianfunk.com/book Intro Music Made with 16-Bit Ableton Live Pack - https://brianfunk.com/blog/16-bit Music Production Podcast - https://brianfunk.com/podcast Save 25% on Ableton Live Packs at my store with the code: PODCAST - https://brianfunk.com/store Thank you for listening.  Please review the Music Production Podcast on your favorite podcast provider!
