#221: How You Do One Thing is How You Do Everything Jun 18, 2021

Show notes

We are creatures of habit. Even the most difficult routines become our normal routine after some time. This is why we must pay close attention to the types of habits we are building. Are you working on being a more lazy person? Are you practicing always doing your best at whatever it is you are doing?

In this episode, we talk about how we can become better musicians and producers while doing the most mundane tasks by focusing on core values and a solid work ethic.
