[Transcription of podcast]
The thing about creating art is that in today's giving economy, which means you're giving away a lot of stuff online in order to reach people. So you give free lessons, I give free guitar lessons, I give video lessons, I give podcasts, I give all these things. So, part of it is this exchange of energy. You share the things you know and you reach out to the people that could benefit from it and they give you energy back.
So, so much of it is in giving and giving freely but also in getting back the energy, positive energy of what you give - so you know even when people say thank you, when people share my stuff, I really appreciate it. But the annoying thing is, guys, just to be really honest is that sometimes people don't really appreciate it. They keep asking and asking and asking - asking for stuff and not really supporting. And that drains energy sometimes.
I'm not supposed to care about it because in the big scheme of things, it really doesn't matter but sometimes, you know man, just to be honest, it really drains you.
So you guys, if you like - not just my stuff, if you like stuff by your favourite artist, your favourite musician, your favourite podcasters, your favourite YouTubers, you know people, thinkers, speakers, send some love to them man. Just like the post, share it, you know leave a comment, tweet to them if something helped you out, send some love to them man, and it really adds up.
You know, be really specific about what was helpful that they gave and you'd be surprised you know - that keeps them going. That keeps me going, send love you know. Appreciate and some love goes back and forth. It's all about the love man.
Peace out.
