A Note on This Episode: I’ve also released this Episode on my personal Podcast (The Mike del Ferro Podcast), but because I’m now also focusing on Mindset Episodes in this series, I felt it was useful to share it here as well.A big part of my musical identity and my approach to the "inner game" comes from the 10 years I spent with Toots Thielemans. I learned so much from Toots about mindset and professional mentality, and I talk about those experiences a lot in this interview. -I recently sat down with Alexandre Piret, a dedicated researcher and musicologist who is currently conducting in-depth academic research on the life and music of Toots Thielemans.In this episode, which is part of my Podcast series "Echoes of Toots Thielemans", where I interview Harmonica Players, Alexandre interviews me about my ten-year collaboration with Toots. It was a humbling experience to revisit those memories—not just the technical aspects of accompanying such a unique instrument, but the personal moments we shared on tours around the world.We discuss the nuances of Toots' playing, the chemistry we built on stage, and the "echoes" of his influence that I still feel in my own music today. If you are interested in the history of jazz or the legacy of Toots, I hope you enjoy this conversation.Send me a text message with your comments, questions and requests for topics Find Mike's  Music, Schedule,  Podcasts, Sheet Music (PDF's)  and Socials on www.mikedelferro.comFor private online Sessions and Webinars, requests for Topics or other Questions, Email to:  [email protected] send a Voice Message on Speakpipe: https://www.speakpipe.com/mikedelferroJoin the forum/user groups on Telegram.I also host another, personal  Podcast: "The Mike del Ferro Podcast".  Listen my Mike’s travel stories, interviews with fascinating people I have been encountering on my international journey, some psychology for musicians , humor and much more.  Listen on your favorite Podcast appMike del Ferro's YouTube ChannelListen to Mike on Spotify  /  Apple Music and TidalInstagram FacebookPiano Transcriptions / SheetMusic and PDF's as played by MikePiano Tutorials Twitter ...

Hi Everybody, Mike del Ferro here.First off, I want to say that the success of Self Management for Musicians has been incredible, and I deeply appreciate every one of you who listens and shares the show.However, I have faced a challenge recently: I cannot be as productive as I want to be due to my heavy international touring schedule all year round. I want to keep providing the information you appreciate, but the editing time has become a bottleneck.Here is how I am solving this:Introducing AI Narration: I have been experimenting with AI-generated voices, and I am very impressed with the quality. Moving forward, I will be utilizing this technology for narration. This is a massive time-saver regarding editing and will allow me to return to a consistent schedule.New Schedule: Thanks to this workflow change, I will be back to producing and releasing new episodes every 2 weeks.New Name & Focus: I have decided to dedicate more episodes to the mental aspect of our industry. To reflect this, I am officially changing the name of the podcast to "Self Management and Mindset for Musicians".I love sharing my experiences with you, and these changes ensure I can keep doing that consistently, no matter where I am in the world.Let me know what you think of these developments, and please keep sharing this podcast with your colleagues.Send me a text message with your comments, questions and requests for topics Find Mike's  Music, Schedule,  Podcasts, Sheet Music (PDF's)  and Socials on www.mikedelferro.comFor private online Sessions and Webinars, requests for Topics or other Questions, Email to:  [email protected] send a Voice Message on Speakpipe: https://www.speakpipe.com/mikedelferroJoin the forum/user groups on Telegram.I also host another, personal  Podcast: "The Mike del Ferro Podcast".  Listen my Mike’s travel stories, interviews with fascinating people I have been encountering on my international journey, some psychology for musicians , humor and much more.  Listen on your favorite Podcast appMike del Ferro's YouTube ChannelListen to Mike on Spotify  /  Apple Music and TidalInstagram FacebookPiano Transcriptions / SheetMusic and PDF's as played by MikePiano Tutorials Twitter ...

In this episode, I want to talk about something that’s often overlooked but absolutely essential for any serious musician: having your own website.I know—social media is powerful. But platforms come and go, algorithms change, and relying solely on them means you're building your career on rented land. Your website, on the other hand, is your digital home. It’s the one place online that you fully control, and it speaks volumes about your professionalism.I’ll share why I believe every musician—whether you're performing, composing, or teaching—needs a website, and how mine has helped me connect with venues, collaborators, and audiences around the world.-I’ve been hosting this podcast for quite some time now, and I’m thrilled with the success it has achieved so far.

In this episode, I dive into a powerful yet often overlooked principle in building a sustainable music career: putting your own artist name out there first.

In this episode, I’m diving into one of the simplest yet most powerful strategies for boosting your reach on social media: uploading videos natively on Facebook. I’ll share why Facebook’s algorithm heavily favors native uploads over external links like YouTube, and how this little shift can make a massive difference in your engagement. I’ve tested this myself, and the results are real—more views, more interaction, and a stronger connection with your audience.If you’ve been posting YouTube links on autopilot, it’s time to rethink that habit.
