In this episode, I discuss having a nuanced relationship with danger in order to realize your full potential.

I discuss:

- Danger is often a cultural construct.

- The risk of not *becoming.*

- Danger is dependent on competence.

- The risk to adolescents being shielded from danger.

In this conversation, I discuss what to consider if you are asking yourself the question "Should I do music?" I discuss six factors that people usually don't talk about, and what people outside of music will not tell you.

This episode is direct and I pull no punches. I do not sugarcoat this one, and I'm also not prescriptive. I share what I would consider if you are deciding whether this is your path.

1. If you know, you know.

2. Are you committed through good and bad?

3. What does success look like for you?

4. Are you willing to create a successful business?

5.

6. It's vulnerable!! Thank you for considering music. 🫶🏻
