OOOHHH YOU AIN’T READY FOR IT. I probably get too personal on this one, but it’s my podcast. So fuck it. This is the most difficult question to answer, because I’m an extreme guy. It’s actually this exact question that inspired me almost exactly a year ago to sell all my shit, quit my job, and buy a one way ticket to Thailand. Full time jobs blow. Unless you’re one of those people that like your job. Then you’re lucky. And I’m jealous. But I never liked working full time, and I realized after having a series of big boy jobs that all I really wanted out of this life was to travel and make music. So that’s what I do now. It was easily the best decision I’ve ever made. I could continue to rant about happiness and life purpose, but for the sake of your sanity let’s just say balancing a full time gig and music is not easy...but it’s possible.

In this episode I dive into my top resources and recommendations on how to maximize your time outside of work to be productive. It’s for this exact reason I created my new course, the Blueprint to Beatmaking. It’s meant for beginners and busy individuals. In it I give aspiring producers a step-by-step framework to make beats that it took me years to learn. Save time. Improve quickly. And make better beats. I take the trial-and-error out of it so you get right to the good stuff. Interested in learning more about the course? You can find out more here or by clicking the link below.
