8 Ways to Stay Confident When the World Says No
What do you do when people in power don’t believe in you? When they tell you you’re wrong — or worse, ignore your vision completely?
In this episode, I’m sharing the 8 biggest lessons from my A&R years in NYC: how I went from answering phones to signing artists, backing future superstars like Juliette Simms, Katy Perry, and Mark Foster, and learning to trust my vision before the world caught up.
These are the moments that shaped me: the risks I took, the times I trusted my gut, and what I learned when the world said “no.” If you’re building your dream, creating your next chapter, or learning to believe in yourself again — this one’s for you.
