This week, I talk about the reality that we aren't all going to "make it" in the music industry. In fact, most of us never will. Instead, we can fail our way into either cynicism or deep wisdom that gives us something to really write and create art about. I encourage you to adjust your dreams as you grow and change, and to use your perceived failures to inform the art you continue to make and engage with.
