One of the most powerful things you can do to increase the odds and promise for your success as a producer is to have multiple irons in the fire. Create multiple streams of income and opportunities for yourself! Don’t ever put all of your eggs in one basket.  Over the years, this is the most valuable thing I have learned to keep my business healthy and stable.

Trust that as you keep hustlin, keep building your opportunities and network, t ..read more

In today’s episode you are going to get a hilarious and wild story about something that I went and challenged myself with a few months ago! ?? This experience was so wacky and funny that I really don’t want to spoil it in the notes here, but what I will say is that I came away from it with a powerful lesson and reminder: In life, we are going to fall, we are going to fail, we are going to have to face fears and challenges… and no matter the outcome, the real success is SHOWING UP!! Just by showing up in life, following your heart, facing your fears, saying "I can" when you think you can't, and ..read more

Recently I caught myself saying the words “take this short cut” while putting together a training and almost spit my coffee out on my keyboard because, if you know me at all, I don’t believe in shortcuts.  In fact, I even have an episode on this podcast called “There are no shortcuts!” (Go check it out if you haven’t! ?) So of course I got to thinking about what I actually meant to say instead of “shortcut”, and I came up with the term “fast track”: now you’re probably thinking, “Kris what’s the difference? They’re pretty much the same thing!” ? Well here it is: shortcuts are for lazy, ho ..read more

But the truth, though it's uncomfortable, is that the less-talented guitar player is going to get hired for the session sometimes, and the less-talented vocalist will get that cut. The thing that separates you from the crowd isn't always going to be talent. Being good at your craft is a prerequisite nowadays, and the way to get ahead is to put yourself out there effectively, and take c ..read more
