I get this all the time:
People reach out or download our resources, listen to the podcast etc. because they want to get better at recording or mixing.
But then, when I get to talk to them and they find out what it takes to get really good at this they immediately say:
"I don't want to do this professionally. It's just a hobby."
As if it was not worth it to put in the effort, time, money or whatever it would take in their situation.

So I wanted to ask you:
How many of the artists you worked with are professionals?
And for those who are not:
Do they now think it was worth putting in the effort to make it sound awesome?
I think the fact that it is just a hobby doesn't mean it's not worth it.
I think many people will regret that they never made a really great record.
And on the flip side I think most artists who have made a really great record don't regret it. They are super proud of what they've created and often view it as a bucket list item and something that will still be around when they're gone one day.
So let's discuss this topic and hopefully help you realize your dreams instead of self-sabotaging by talking yourself out of going after your dreams.
Enjoy!
