Welcome to Follow up Friday, Episode 10. I'm Kris Schultz. And thank you for joining me on today's episode. This will be part two in our four part series looking at how to take an idea from a dream to completion. And a recent interview with Ali Gibb, we learned that Ali is a master of project management. In addition to running a high up team at Electronic Arts, she's also managed to find extra time to play instruments learn all these different genres become a composer. improviser. learn theory and interact with a musical community. And I can tell you from firsthand experience, nobody's done it faster and sharper than Allison. Her superpower is project management, her ability to stay organized in a completely unorganized world of art. Now that you've got your inspiration and your vision together, it's time to put your project manager hat on and develop some efficient strategies to take your ideas from dream to reality. Today, I'll share three of my top tips on how to stay organized and get past the dream stage into the completion stage.

Thank you for downloading the show! Welcome to Everybody Speaks Music. Today Kris and Mojo are joined by Ali Gibb.

Alison  juggles a lot of responsibilities during her day job at Electronic Arts and today we peak into how she’s managed to transfer her skill set into learning music.

Welcome to episode nine of Follow Up Fridays. We're getting to the homestretch of our first season and I can't thank you enough for going along this journey with myself and Mojo. I thought to close it out, I would do a four part series, one that covers all the aspects of having a vision and getting it to the finish line. I hope you'll enjoy a little peek into my process.

We've got Katie Brock joining us today. And Katie is an amazing children's entertainer and songwriter, composer performer. And she's really got a great purpose behind her music and the way that she reaches families. And that's kind of funny, because as I'm telling you this right now, my two year old Olivia; who should be in bed; is actually playing with my preamp. So what an appropriate way to introduce the show. I don't have a lot of time here. Mojo, I gotta get moving, so what do you say we get right to it.

How about that episode with Ethan Smith? By the time you hear this, he'll have just finished performing in front of over 18,000 people in Rogers Arena at the Canucks game. Can you believe that? In that episode, one thing was really clear. Ethan's calm, he's having fun. And he really looks forward to opportunities to perform.

Musicians can use the exact same tools that athletes have been using for years. And science and studies have definitely backed this. I mean, you don't have to look very far to find out that it's conclusive. If you visualize or do guided imagery, or guided visualization on anything you're interested in, your performance will improve. The most amazing thing about this is that imagery is a skill anyone can learn, improve and benefit from regardless of their age, gender, where they're from, it doesn't matter. No matter what your situation. If you put some time into developing this ability, you will show improvement.

What an interesting young man, I certainly enjoy this interview so much. let the folks know who's coming on the show. Today's guest is nine year old Ethan Smith who's currently living in Quesnel, BC with his family and Ethan is such a great, great young man. There's so many inspiring funny moments in this episode, and definitely the exact episode we all need after the last one where things got pretty heavy in the best way possible.

Check out this video of young Ethan delivering an emotional performance of Bruno Mars ‘Lighters’  at Roger’s Arena during a Canucks game

Last weeks episode was definitely one of the tougher parts of this journey to talk about and we're gonna focus in on a couple of the more musical things that came out of that episode, because we definitely touched on some heavy topics and just want to rest assure that our show won't always go down that that heavy road.
We really want to thank those of you that have reached out to share your stories with us and to tell us how much that episode meant to you. Today's episode is all about perfection.

On today's show, Kris and Mojo are joined by Jill Schulz. Jill is an amazing woman, a great mom and an outstanding human being. 

Believe me when I tell you that the world is a better place because she is here.

Buckle up, this is an emotional show.....

Today's episode is all about preparing to perform. I want to let you all know something. Performance is not only for professionals. Performance could mean that you're just playing for yourself, a family member, a friend, your dog, your cat or 1000 people, it really doesn't matter.
I’ll also teach you how gamify your practice to keep things fun and productive.
