Why Make Music…Episode 031: Not for Money, for MotivationHosted by: DJ Warm Cookies (aka Willa May) & ThinkTimmEpisode 031 opens in story mode: a monologue from DJ Warm Cookies reflecting on ThinkTimm’s early days of chasing a dream—digging through old notebooks, remembering 90s-era rehearsals, failed bands, and never-captured sparks of brilliance. It’s a poetic journey through lost songs and found purpose, setting the tone for a powerful message:You don’t make music for money. You make it for survival. For peace. For you.This episode explores:The real cost of building a music setup in 2024Time, energy, and confidence as currencyMarketing, tools, and why visibility is never freeThe truth about chasing creativity while adultingWhat you can offer to the industry, your peers, and yourselfEpisode 031 features a full poetic reading of “Poor Lonely Sky,” an original poem written by ThinkTimm, layered into a spoken word soliloquy that captures the spirit of the modern creator.We close with a powerful benediction—what it means to “clear the trees” and fight for blue sky through the noise of today’s industry.Follow ThinkTimm:Website: www.ThinkTimm.com">https://www.thinktimm.com">www.ThinkTimm.comInstagram, Facebook, BlueSky: @ThinkTimmSoundCloud, Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube: T H I N K T I M MMerch: TeePublic">https://www.teepublic.com/user/thinktimm">TeePublic | Threadless">https://thinktimm.threadless.com">ThreadlessPatreon: Support">https://www.patreon.com/ThinkTimm">Support on PatreonBe a friend to the process.
