Patience, Thick Skin, Sensitivity and Consistency feat Deago Forth
from The Cubicle Rebellion Hosted by Jeremy King
In this awesome and insightful 2 hr marathon of an episode, I sit with longtime friend, artist, producer and recent escapee of corporate America Deago Forth, and we discuss MANY things. He is a producer so we decided to play some samples of his instrumental music in the background at certain points through out the episode, so I’ll put an asterisk where you’ll hear the music. The samples you hear are from his recent sample pack called “Vintage Muse Vol. 1” At (3:40)* we discuss how he created his name, why it’s important to create a “safe place” for your creativity (12:00)* his journey through corporate America and what made him quit (20:00), his exit strategy to save 6 or 7 months of expenses before quitting (32:30) how creating deadlines in school helped him do the same for his creative work day (48:10) how savings is a way of life (52:40) his 18 month deadline and what he expects from his business by then (54:50) why he thinks consistency is more important than talent and skill (1:02:00) why artists need a mix of patience, thick skin, sensitivity and consistency In their arsenal (1:11:00*), how he structured his day to day business while at home (1:19:00*) the key to finding quality in the quantity and the numbers game of creativity (1:30:00), creating from a place of an abundant mentality and not a scarcity mentality (1:37;00*) and finally his contact info for his music production company “Reel Loops” and “The Beat Line.” (1:43:00) this one is for all the creatives stuck in the cube! ——————————————————-https://www.reelloops.com
