The Finish More Music Podcast

Have you ever held back from sharing your music because you were scared of what people might say? Or worse, found yourself spending forever tweaking a track, trying to make it perfect so that nobody could possibly criticise it? But of course, perfect music doesn't exist. And therefore your track can't ever exist either. Maybe you've experienced this crippling effect? You're far from alone. We live in a world where opinions are often expressed with aggression, ridicule and personal attacks. So it's no wonder that creatives are often apprehensive about sharing their work. Insults, rudeness, or even well-meaning but misplaced advice can hurt. The kicker, though, is that you miss out on so much when you keep your music hidden. Because expressing yourself, connecting with others and being part of a scene are vital to your growth and progress as artists. Criticism is unavoidable, but how you experience it is a choice. In this episode of the Finish More Music Podcast, we explore a perspective on criticism, judgement and freedom of expression that could completely change how you approach putting yourself and your music out into the world. If you've ever been held back because of what someone might say, this episode is for you.

AI Will Soon Make Great Music. But Can It Replace You? What if AI becomes so good at making music that you and I genuinely can't tell the difference? In fact, what if it becomes BETTER than us? Imagine music that moves you, excites you, and makes you want to dance. Every. Single. Time. Surely, at that point, it doesn't matter whether the music was created by a human or a machine? Of course, we'll still love the creative process. But will the people we want to share our music with still care? In this episode of the Finish More Music Podcast, we're exploring one of the biggest questions facing the creative community: Can AI really replace us? AI is getting better at an astonishing rate. And I think it will eventually be capable of creating music, books, paintings and films that are consistently every bit as good as those created by human beings. But… I don't think that matters nearly as much as many people believe. Because I think those scared that AI will replace them are overlooking one critical point. In this episode, I explain why. I'm curious if you agree… If this episode resonated with you and you feel it will have a positive impact on the people you know, please share it by using the social media buttons you see at the bottom of this page.

Sometimes the harder we try, the harder everything seems to become. Maybe you can relate? You want to sit down and make music. You want to stay on task when it gets messy and challenging. And it feels like a lot of effort. Effort to do something you love. And maybe you try to power through the resistance. Which in itself can be exhausting. But what if there's another way? In this episode of the Finish More Music Podcast, we explore a simple trick of the mind that can change the way you approach creativity, work and anything else you've been putting off. Creativity often creates a lot of resistance, whether it's: Stepping into the unknown to write music that sounds like you Sending tracks to labels you aspire to Putting yourself out into the world on social media If you're tired of feeling like the things you care about achieving the most feel this hard, this episode is for you.

The goals that matter to us most are so often the ones we resist the hardest. Maybe you can relate? You set a goal that genuinely excites you. Then somehow… you struggle to get started. This could be finishing music, reaching out to labels, starting your long overdue social media account… In this episode of the Finish More Music Podcast, we dig into why resistance surfaces, and a powerful shift in strategy and thinking that beats it, every single day. There's a way to set ambitious goals AND enjoy the daily climb toward them. And this is more than a hunch — it's backed by Harvard research. In this episode we explore: Why the goals that matter most trigger the most resistance How "just break it into steps" can set you up to feel worse How to dial down resistance and anxiety to make taking action easy Why this works on a huge life goal and getting through a challenging day alik So it's a choice: keep white-knuckling your way toward goals… Or learn how to enjoy the journey, and watch the results take care of themselves.
