Comparison can destroy your confidence as an artist — but it can also push you toward your best work if you approach it with the right mindset. In this episode, we break down the psychology of comparison in the music industry, how to recognize when it’s toxic vs. productive, and how to use others’ progress as a mirror for your next creative breakthrough.

Behind every great indie record is a community that believed in it first. This episode explores how fundraising can be more than just raising money — it’s about inviting people into your story, building trust, and turning listeners into true supporters.
