Chapters
I went into theater. For me, I said, you know what? It's been. It's time.
That's cool.
I want to do it for money.
Or this or that.
No, absolutely not. I want to do it for me. I love this work and I'm going to do it. I'm just going to take a timeout from the day job and I'm just going to go into this because this is for my soul. And, man, the domino effect of things that came from doing that first Broadway show taught me that. Oh, that's. That's. That's where the light is. That's. Whatever. Whatever it was that made me choose to do that, whatever I call the day job, I need to make that same choice in every song I sing and every album that I make and every producer that I work with, and all the things that I thought were more of a machine that I needed to figure out, like, what do I have to say next? What do I have to do next to hit it? It's just, go where the goosebumps are. That's it.
Oh, go where the goosebumps are. That's powerful. And this is. Listen, we're, you know, we're in la. This is very, like, privileged conversation that we're having here because we get to do what we love and make money from it and impact people. Um, not everyone gets to, like, just do what gives them goosebumps all day long, where they can make money and do all these things. But I truly think everyone can have side quests, have hobbies, and live a life where their soul is on fire. Yeah.
And like you said, it's not. You're not always going to feel it. But the pursuit of that feeling.
Yes.
Rather than the pursuit of the end goal, is, I think, where. Where the secret sauce is.
