Are you setup to win?

Musician Life - REAL TALK: with David Shanhun

Excited to share this episode with you all, and whilst it won't solve or create that 'magic' vibe we're all going for, there are certain things that we do have control over to set ourselves up for a win or success - or at least moving towards better and better shows and scenarios!

I chat about a few things you can do to help setup your environment, including staging, lighting, chatting with venues about the setup, turning off other distractions, and having yourself be a focus of an event or gig. This doesn't mean it will always happen perfectly, or that if you do all of these things every event will be a total winner, but it give you some ideas you can do to improve for the next show, or to give yourself the grace to accept the show and gig for what it was (and not beat yourself up for days after!).

It also means you can chat through some of these things with clients for events, and in doing so you become a more valuable person on the team, as you're helping them get the result they are after by hiring you. (sometimes event planners don't consider this aspect, or are simply too busy managing each aspect of the event and miss details like this that can be super important to how the night/event runs).

As mentioned at the end of the podcast - I'm heading off on a writing trip and will be sharing that in more details via both YouTube and in BTS footage through the following link. If you wish to support me in that space here is the link:
