Nightcap 24

Your non-stick pan isn’t non-stick anymore…that means you ate the stuff that made it non-stick.

Does having the top button un-done relieve the stress or does the act of unbuttoning the top button on the shirt relieve the stress?

I use to think the golden rule was no running in the halls.

Loose pants are easy to make and buy and sell because they don’t have to fit just right.

Bonus For Bravery

You’re not going to get a five thousand dollar bonus for being brave at work.

There’s no job description that has extra incentives built in for putting yourself on the line when it’s not in the job description.

Because it’s hard to measure for courage, care, intuition, taking responsibility, etc.

But that’s what we hope you’ll show up and do anyway. That’s what the great ones do.

Releasing and Promoting / Hum Love

The new Hum Love playlist is up on Spotify and Apple Music.

It’s a great time to release music but a bad time to promote music.

Since it’s a bad time to promote music, less music is being released right now.

That said, I had to click around a lot more than usual to put this one together.

Enjoy.

Feel free to send along your recommendations for next month.

Crossing Over

Country to pop.

Rock to country.

Rap to gospel.

Alternative to mainstream.


Every artist wants to crossover. To dominate a genre and roll it into dominating another.

But if crossing over is part of the plan from the beginning, then you’re always going to be wondering when the right time is to crossover. And the time and energy wondering, thinking, meeting, getting advice about when and how to crossover distracts from the very thing you need to do in order to crossover.

If you ever want to crossover you’re going to need to stop thinking about crossing over.
