All right small timers, it comes to know surprise to you, that we are talking about the big news cycle item for artists and creators in the Gen X and Millennial group: Instagram!

This week it's all about the awkward truths about being an artist and investing your cash flow. I talk about my biggest decision, that is also the silliest mental wrestling match regarding "Should I buy merch for myself?". It's my view on what to do with my assets and I find myself reevaluating what's important to me and how much my art is worth.

This week, I am talking about my personal struggle with prioritizing where to put my time, energy and money when it comes to the small time songwriter life. I share thoughts on how things worked for booking gigs back when I was active and whether that still applies today. Finally, I make my case for creating a personal website in the age of algorithms and social media, share my social media follow...

This week, I chat about who I am, where I am coming from and taking on the mantle of the Small Time Songwriter! I talk about what got me here, why I started this pod and what I am hoping to get out of the whole damn thing that I hope will help you too!
