This episode is pure fire for anyone who's ever felt like giving up after hearing no one too many times, doubted their talent, or wrestled with what it really means to love something enough to keep going even when it’s hard.
I sat down with the phenomenal Bonnie Brown, world-class pianist, teacher, and unapologetic stand for artistic excellence, to talk about mastery, discipline, and that unwavering love that pulls you through the roughest seasons.
From starting piano at 3 years old (yes, 3!) to facing 700+ hours of rejection applying for scholarships, Bonnie’s story is a masterclass in what I call being Unmessablewith®.
We talk about what it takes to pursue a vision when there are no guarantees, why love alone isn’t enough without commitment, and how the real magic happens in the daily grind on the days you don’t feel like practicing, showing up, or believing.
This one isn’t just for artists. It’s for anyone with a dream.
In This Episode, You’ll Hear:
• Why discipline is not a dirty word and why it actually frees you
• The moment Bonnie declared herself a master (and what that really means)
• How to foster passion in your kids, your students, or yourself • The uncomfortable cold calls Bonnie made to fund her concert series and how she got over the fear
• What happens when you stop waiting for motivation and start taking action anyway
• A hilarious and powerful story about how jumping out of a plane taught me what real commitment looks like
One of My Favorite Moments:
“Talent without action is useless. Action without talent? That’ll still get you somewhere.”
If you’ve ever thought:
“I’m not motivated today”
“Maybe I’m not cut out for this”
“Rejection means I’m not good enough”
…then this is the reminder you didn’t know you needed.
