Define The Finish Line.
How many people in this room are songwriters? Okay. So I’m gonna address us on a “songwriting” level for a moment. But before I do, I want to tell you the most important piece of information that applies, not only to your musical career, but your entire life. And I’ve seen it work and I’ve seen it not work.

Go be you. Not someone else’s idea of who you should be.
Sincerely,
...
