Here's episode 13: Networking - The Good and the Ugly

Networking: how to do it and how NOT to do it. This is all based on an experience I had THIS week with someone on Facebook in one of the music/composing/audio nerd FB groups I take part in. Note: It wasn't from Business Skills for Composers. Some good lessons here that we could all learn from. Check it out.

Episode 14 is now out! This highlights two bad examples of marketing and how to do better in both cases. And there's a great Simpsons reference too. Curious? You know you are!

Interestingly, I think in a way, stress can help us create better songs/SFX. Think of it: if making music was easy, we wouldn't give the second effort to improve our songs. The feelings we get when we notice that something is off or missing is no doubt a useful tool.

For sure! And I've found that when I have a sudden deadline (high pressure job) my focus and intensity really kick into gear. But there's always a balance - too much stress can lead to inaction and insecurity.
