this week i get a little worked up this week talking about the business and how little school prepared me for life. especially because i felt so personally invested in/frustrated by my education.

it’s crazy how our system in the states is still set up to make you a good worker for someone else. and probably saddle you with a shit ton of loans in the process.

oh those dreams you were after? yeah, have fun chasing those. here’s $150,000 of debt you’ve gotta start paying in a year. good luck.

the best skills i’ve learned for work have come from working. the most i’ve learned about business has come from starting one. you gotta get dirty and try shit. i know i’m a cornball, but i really wish our education system was set up to help people pursue their passion rather than being “realistic” and/or putting an emphasis on more traditional jobs held in high esteem.

i’ve met too many rich miserable people to know that well paying and powerful gigs ain’t gonna make you happy on their own. you either need some mixture of autonomy and purpose, which i feel most folks are severely lacking.

you get one of these bitches. for real. you really gonna spend it trying to make somebody else happy? fuck outta here.

how do you feel about all this? do you agree? violently disagree?

let me know:

@kiaorion on everything.

In the spirit of the holidays and being thankful i wanted to try fasting for a few days.

I like to do these small experiments to check myself. I find it helps me appreciate what I’ve got, I think it can be easy to lose track of that.

So, after finishing an 84 hour fast I wanted to dive into the details.

This episode of the podcast is almost exclusively about preparing for the fast, the effects of it, and recommendations if you’re planning your own.

A lot of folks say that fasting is a bit of a spiritual experience, and I can see why. This was a baby fast because I wanted to get my feet wet, but I can definitely see myself doing more of these in the future.

Hope y’all are enjoying the holidays back home. Y’all better BODY some pumpkin pie for me!

Got some fun music projects coming your way soon too! If you got questions you know where to find me.

WHATUP!

Your boy somehow caught the flu in one of the hottest places on earth. smh. so it was a bit of a rough week, but a good week. apologize for the sniffles.

Spent most of it building out the new online beatstore which is now up and at 'em! www.orionbeats.com if you want to peep it. I'm currently testing a ton of different elements of the site, so if you want to check it out and give me feedback I'm all ears.

The biz is going well, making a steady growth of sales each month. My customers are super dope. I've found my music resonates with a certain type of person, and that's really what I'm trying to do. Find people who fuck with the sound and then doubling down on it.

In the tail end of the episode I also reflect on my 6th month mark out here in Thailand. I know I sound sappy but still incredibly grateful to be out here chasing the dream.

I'm making it a thing that I'm going to pay my rent this month in beat sales, so hold me to it!
