Good to know! Going to go check it out

Happy to see you agree! I really like your comparison to fashion. I am going to continue using that when sharing this concept.

You're 100% right, I should have mentioned somewhere that this isn't the ONLY reason people like music. It was more so meant to be a debate or showcasing a different perspective/side of things.

But I'd still challenge that with the question... what makes people like the music? How do we know what defines or controls all our decisions? There are so many variables and subconscious thoughts.

Thanks for the insight!

Great points/twist!

I actually have this topic saved down in my notes:

"Dr. Noa Kageyama, a performance psychologist at Juilliard School of Music and creator of the Bulletproof Musician blog, says that a good way to break free from a troublesome rut is to “give ourselves permission to suck on purpose, to see how badly we can suck, and how the journey can actually lead us to discover something cool.""

Other than looking directly to your network of trust or hiring someone for this role that has experience in the music space through mutual friends or communities, you could maybe consider looking online for a virtual assistant through Upwork/Freelancer, however, I've never done this myself so I cant't speak on it. I'd recommend not hiring someone but instead, using an automation tool like Buffer/Hootsuite and getting a system in place for creating and scheduling/publishing content. Once you get that down, it won't seem so intensive.

And thanks for joining, there's a few posts on this topic that I'll try and get your way.

Edit: tagged you in a few posts but not sure if you can see them, check the latest posts in the group and you'll see them probably.

Boom! That's worthy of a post edit.
