Ever found yourself stuck between your own career goals and commitments you've made to others?


You're not alone.


In this episode, I’m talking about one of the hardest parts of building a career in music: letting people down.


Whether it’s leaving a band, turning down a gig, or backing out of a commitment that no longer serves you — this one’s for you. I’ll walk you through:

this episode might be exactly what you need to hear.
