  • Why Waiting for Inspiration Is Holding You Back
    May 3 2026

    Let us know what you think!

    Is creativity something you’re born with or something you build?

    In this episode, Adam and fellow musician Elie unpack one of the biggest myths in music: that great ideas always come from sudden bursts of inspiration. They explore where creativity actually comes from, why waiting to “feel inspired” can hold you back, and how consistent effort plays a bigger role than most people think.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck, uncreative, or like you’re “not the creative type,” this conversation will change how you think about making music.

  • Teaching Music without Squashing Your Own Creativity
    Apr 16 2026

    Let us know what you think!

    Can you be both a great teacher and an active musician? Dewey Finn once said "those who can't do, teach." We don't believe that's true.

    In Episode 3, Adam sits down with fellow instructor Jeremy to talk about the balance between teaching and staying creative. They dive into the challenges of pouring into students while still making time for your own growth, and how teaching can either fuel or drain your creativity depending on how you approach it.

    Whether you’re a teacher, student, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on staying inspired while helping others grow.

    What does it actually mean to practice?

    In this episode, Adam and Theresa break down one of the most misunderstood parts of being a musician. They explore the difference between just playing and practicing with intention, what effective practice actually looks like, and how small, focused sessions can lead to real progress.

    You’ll also hear a real practice breakdown, a few inspirational stories, and a simple challenge you can start using right away.
