213 - Why Trust Gets You Hired (Q from Rob Quinn)
In music, talent might get you noticed — but trust is what keeps you working.
This episode was sparked by a question from Rob Quinn about the role of trust in a music career, and it opens up one of the most quietly important topics in professional musicianship.
Inside, I talk about trust on every level of the job:
• Trusting bandmates to show up prepared
• Being trusted by artists, MDs, and management
• What happens when that trust breaks down
• How trust is built during pressure, not perfection
• Why reliability often matters more than brilliance
• Learning to trust yourself when things go wrong on stage
From tempo disputes and difficult leadership dynamics to real-world gig crises where systems fail and people have to step up — this episode explores how careers are shaped by who people feel safe relying on.
If you’ve ever wondered why some musicians stay booked while others quietly disappear… this episode explains a big part of it.
🎧 Episode 213 is live now.
And if you want to talk through your own career situations, you can book a FREE 30-minute Coaching Taster Session via https://www.emilydrums.com or the link in my bio.
