Welcome to Episode 199 of A Drummer’s Guide To… Getting Called Out!
This week, I’m sharing a raw and uncomfortable part of my journey — when I was publicly called out for not being authentic online. At first, it felt humiliating…but it became one of the most powerful lessons in vulnerability and accountability I’ve ever learned.
Inside this episode, I’ll cover:
😳 What happened when I was exposed for fake followers and automated comments
💡 Why accountability creates deeper trust than perfection ever could
🎶 How mistakes on stage (yes, I’ve made plenty!) actually brought me closer to bandmates
🤝 Why vulnerability is the bridge to stronger relationships in music and beyond
If you’ve ever struggled with self-esteem, feared making mistakes, or worried about being “found out,” this episode is for you.
👉 Listen now and let’s reframe rejection, mistakes, and shame into growth.
