How Art can Save Humanity
from Dream Life Club
In this solo episode, I get real about the traps creatives fall into when we are scared to start. I used to think a career in the arts was frivolous. Then I left tech, started releasing music before I felt ready, and committed to one lane: art with social impact. That path led to American Dream winning the Hollywood Independent Music Award for Best Social Impact Song. The lesson: pick something, get good at it, and put the work out before it feels perfect.
