In this brief podcast segment, the speaker launches a "7‑Day Song Banking Sprint" challenge for the podcast hosts and listeners. Participants must capture at least one new musical idea each day for a week—whether a lyric, melody, riff, or overheard phrase—using tools such as voice memos, note‑taking apps, or a digital audio workstation, ensuring the idea isn’t lost. After seven days the collected ideas can be refined. The speaker also points listeners to a "Song Making" worksheet from the book "Indiana's Compass," linked in the bio, to help organize and track these creative seeds.

What I want to do is I want to challenge everybody on this podcast, the four of us as well as anybody listening to the seven day song Banking Sprint. So the challenge is you got to collect one new idea per day, per week. So every day a new idea, whether it's a lyric, a melody, a riff, or a phrase you overhear. Use a voice memo, a note app, use your daw, just don't let it disappear. Like, create something every day, even if it's a little piece. Bake it for seven days. And then ultimately too. If you want any additional guidance around that, we have the Song Making worksheet from the Indiana's Compass. So to help build your system and track your own seeds, it's available in the book, which is available in the link below inside of our bio. So feel free to grab that as well.
