🛠️ You’ll learn:
• The real range of sustainable music careers
• Why viral fame doesn’t equal happiness (or money)
• How to define success for your life and your values
• Ways to diversify income streams without losing your creativity
• How I’ve built a fulfilling career without being “big” — and why I wouldn’t trade it
If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough, or not going fast enough, or not being seen enough — this one’s for you.
