For Episode 100, I say thank you to all of you who have listened to even 1 episode, let alone all 100! In this episode, I recap the tools of musicianship, and I celebrate moments like my favorite episodes that didn't have as high of listener numbers that I think you might have missed. I also share announcements like a new name, a new focus, and a new episode frequency. One spoiler in case you miss it: This is the last episode of 2024. This podcast will return early in 2025!

Professional musicians often have to confront obstacles from job changes...to a piece they're practicing that isn't getting better...to possible existential threats such as streaming services and AI. To be a successful musician for a long time requires knowing when and how to pivot. Hopefully this episode will help you answer both questions.

Planning is good, but doing is better! Whether it's composing your next piece, practicing something hard or accomplishing a career goal, it's possible to become a doer and not just a planner even if that hasn't been your natural inclination. In this episode, I share what has worked for me.
