This is really quick and a bit scattered podcast, but I had to cut it while it was fresh. The quote that got it all started from a sermon I listened to late last night from Darren Rouanzoin the lead pastor at The Garden Church in Long Beach, CA. In his message, You Are An Artist, he said – “Who you aren’t isn’t interesting.” That’s a word that is going to be in my pocket for a while. Enjoy. And Godspeed in your music making.

Sermon: You Are An Artist – Darren Rouanzoin
Song Lyrics: Melody, Trees, Whimsy, Breeze by Ashton Gustafson
I rode this horse like I rode my life.
I rowed this boat like I’ve rowed my time.
I think I’m getting close.
I think I’m almost there.
I reach to the sky like a flower does
Get me a little sun, get me a little love
I think I’m getting close.
I think I’m almost there.
Hold my hand, give this head a place to rest
I’m a broken man with a soul that wants to dance
It’s the melody in the trees the whimsy in the breeze….let me breathe.
We have two choices with our words.
They can be candles or they can be swords?
Sure things need to be poked, prodded, cut, challenged, and defended. And when this is done well, we can only hope that the holes left from the prodding and poking will let more light in.
Outtakes…
and it’s easy to miss what it’s saying.
Two ears, two eyes, and one mouth is a great place of realization to start with your marketing plan.
Once you understand the the 4:1 ratio you came equipped with, you may then have a better chance of seeing, hearing, and receiving the memo.
Bill Gross looked at how and why some startups succeed and how and why others don’t.
His findings may surprise you.
If you’ve got an idea stirring in your head, confirm the timing with the potential customers.
