🎙️ Hot Flash Chronicles – Episode: Preparation, Pressure, and the Power of Goals 🎶🏆 From barbershop quartets to photography competitions, we’re breaking down what it really takes to prepare for big moments—and why your “why” matters more than the ribbon In this episode, Angie and Shelly dig into the art (and stress) of preparation. With Shelly’s quartet, Hot Notes, gearing up for competition, the conversation turns to what it means to set goals, push through pressure, and show up for yourself and your team. They swap stories about coaching, constructive criticism, and why sometimes the silliest goals (like wearing a second outfit) end up being the most memorable wins. 💡 What You’ll Hear in This Episode: 🎤 The Hot Notes Journey – Weekly rehearsals, coaching, and competitions that push singers to grow 🏅 Goals That Matter – Why “beating last year’s score” is more motivating than chasing ribbons 📋 SMART Goals in Real Life – From silly outfit goals to career-defining accreditations, how clarity makes all the difference 📸 Photography Competitions – Angie shares how accreditation shaped her career and why feedback stings but makes you better 💬 Constructive Criticism vs. Cheerleading – Why the best mentors deliver truth with love, not empty praise 🤝 Team Goals vs. Solo Goals – How collaboration requires grace, patience, and equal effort from everyone involved 🌟 Effort Equals Results – Why your outcome will always match the intensity and heart you put in 😂 The Outfit Change Story – How the Hot Notes landed as mic testers, still got to wear their sparkly shoes, and learned to be intentional with goals 📢 Follow & Support the Podcast🎧 Podcast Episodes: https://hotflashchroniclespodcast.podbean.com🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hot-flash-chronicles/id1802239722🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5f8iMNCItgjL79nC1jXA5w📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HotflashChronicles📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HotFlashChronicles📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hotflashchroniclespodcast🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hotflashchronicles🌐 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/hotflashchronicles 💬 What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever prepared for?
