If you’ve ever thought about turning something you enjoy into something you get paid to do for a living (i.e. artists and most people in the entertainment business), you need to download and listen to every episode of the StartUp podcast.
It’s a podcast about a guy from This American Life starting a podcast company.
He’s incredibly transparent about his fears and insecurities, the way it’s effecting his marriage, the way the money works in the business.
But one of the most important aspects that they don’t really mention directly in the podcast is that….he didn’t wait. He started.
And that really ends up being paramount to the whole thing succeeding, was that he just started DOING it, while a majority of the questions were unanswered. The hard parts and the easier parts.
You are the key. You are the talent, the lightning rod. And if you operate out of this place, you will also become a magnet.
I’m always interested in your perspective, whether affirming or dissenting. Continue the conversation anytime: gabethebassplayer@gmail.com
