Chasing a songwriting dream requires a ton of motivation, since it’s a roller coaster ride. I’m delighted to be joined by Shaun Smith and Ross O’Reilly of the country duo, Cash & Carter, for a conversation about staying motivated in the music industry.
The quote for this episode is by Steve Jobs: “If you are working on something that you really care about, you don’t have to be pushed. The vision pulls you.” During our conversation, we talk about feeling motivated to create from a place of passion, having a clear vision, remaining consistent, tips for restoring motivation, celebrating small wins along the way, changing the songwriting process and trying new things, taking off the pressure and returning to the love for the craft, simply showing up, and more. Shaun and Ross also share how they joined forces for Cash & Carter and give a glimpse into their new music. It was a joy having Shaun and Ross on the show, so I hope our conversation inspires you to stay motivated while chasing your dreams.
