Many musicians feel stuck in a single career path, believing that success means following a traditional trajectory. But what if true success is about expanding, not staying locked into one role?

In this episode, tubist Jarrett McCourt shares his journey from performing with world-class orchestras to building a career and life that align with his values. We discuss:

• Why career pivots aren’t about quitting but about growth
• How redefining success can lead to more fulfillment
• The role of mental health and self-acceptance in performance
• What musicians get wrong about hustle and burnout

If you’ve ever questioned your path in music or wondered what’s next, this episode is for you.
