Episode show notes:

I got a message from one of our coaching students and it really made me think.

This is what he wrote:
 

"I just wanted to say thank you. It's great to have someone who is so unrelentingly positive and upbeat as part of this. Whether we are talking on zoom, group chat, your video messages or even the podcast. Your positivity comes through all of it and makes it feel like what we're doing (music) is possible, and maybe even fun sometimes!"

While I love and appreciate this message, it also made me think and reflect on the whole topic of music being fun.

A lot of artist and DIY producers that I work with and talk to seem to forget their "why" sometimes. Why they even got into this. Why they wanted to write and produce music in the first place. 

And I've been there, too! When we get ambitious and dive deep into learning something, improving our skills and trying to reach the goals that we set for ourselves, we can get disconnected from the art.

It all turns into projects, tasks, deadlines, schedules and a long list of to-dos.

So how can we separate the to-dos from the process of actually creating art and make sure we enjoy making music?

Malcom and I explore this on the podcast and discuss a long list of ideas on this week's episode.

Let's go!
