“Later that same week, I chatted about this in a coaching session with Kristine Claghorn.

What would work feel like then?”

“I know a lot of people who make things who don’t stand proudly by their stuff, I don’t know if they’re too cool or they don’t want to look thirsty, but they’ll put a song out once on their stories — and that’s it.

You went through something. You figured something out in a structured format. You recorded it. Not just one take. Parts and parts.
