Creative Contact w/ Kia Orion

We're back! 

And experimenting with the new format for the show. 

We start out with mom's recent journey from Oaxaca, to Mexico City, and eventually Puerto Vallarta.

I give a brief update on where I'm at with the music and online biz, and then end with some listener Q&A.

In this episode you’ll learn three of my biggest gems for newbie producers.

the way that life has seasons, waxes and wanes, so does...podcasting? yeah, let's go with that. 

i've been reflecting a lot on what direction i want to take this sucker this year and i'm excited for this next season.

STOP OVERTHINKING SHIT

GARYV

-move fast. don’t judge yourself for losses.

-there is no right or wrong decision, because you’ll never be able to replay it. retrospect is 2020, maybe if you take that shitty meeting looking BACK you should’ve done the other. but you didn’t know that was going to be a waste of time until you did it.

-be aware of what works and what doesn’t

TMBA

-build systems around value delivery. courses. content. podcasts. if you can deliver value at scale you win.

-find people with an engine. and then offer the turbo charger (this will make sense if you listen to it lol)
