This is a little different than the normal pod, but music production has always been a passion of mine. I taught myself for years, but I still had a lot of holes to fill. There was a lot I didn’t know. This podcast is going to b all about my experience and journey going to music production school, refining my skills, learning new things, producing music, and starting and building my own label and music brand. To hear what I’m working on check me out on instagram and tiktok. dannyvelzmusic I also want to help others learn music production. Look out for tips, tricks, and educational vids soon!

What's up, everyone?  TLDR: idea to launch course I've been sharing my experience with building Sanomind since I started it. I always shied away from courses because they felt scammish to me. But I thought I had real-world experience that I wanted to put in an easily digestible format for others.  I created a course on how to go from an idea in your head to a fully functional product. There are 2 files in the course. Presentation Deck Audio Presentation In the course I go over: Ideation Validation MVP Design Building your Product Marketing I could go deeper on many of these topics, but I gave as much info as I could in summary. There is a deck and an audio version. I go deeper into the topics in the audio version. Get the course here As usual, you can now find me here on Instagram. It's mostly music, but will share other stuff : )

I have recently been thinking of energy and how it affects us in life and business. I usually think of random things but I never speak about them because it feels silly in my head. But I tried to get my thoughts out in this episode. I hope it's helpful for some!

Shortly after launching, I recognized why it's important to have email marketing set up. I talk a little bit about why in this episode.

It's been 1 year and 9 months since I've released an episode. I had to take a step back as I didn't have much to say or add in value. I've also been struggling to get the Sanomind mind web app designed and developed to something we can be semi-proud of. We did that. Sanomind is finally live the way I envisioned it. We are not there yet in terms of design, colors, brand, and features, but we have a SOLID base. I wouldn't have gotten here if I quit months or years ago. You'll hear many in the start-up community telling you to start fast, quit faster. In some cases I understand this. But everyone is different and works on different timelines.  In this episode, I talk more about why you shouldn't quit just yet. Give this podcast 5 starts :D  Let's link!

Reflecting on the last year and thinking about goals and milestones. Celebrating wins is important. Instagram: thesolofounder Twitter: thesolofoundr

Being ambitious is great. Being overly ambitious while unrealistic is not so great. Learning how to be ambitious while being realistic is proving to be interesting. We had deadlines and launch dates. It's been a long and wild run with ups, downs, setbacks and lots of learnings. Things are happening at a weird pace, but forward movement is key. This episode was recorded about 4 weeks ago. A lot has happened since. All current happenings will be revealed in the next episode coming this week! Instagram: thesolofounder Twitter: thesolofoundr Website: Sanomind

MY co-founder Ed and I have been thinking of something to say to show our support for our Black Brothers and Sisters. We didn't want to say something generic or copy and paste the same old corporate "solidarity" posts. To us, all that comes off fake. In thinking about what happened to George Floyd and all the other Blacks people killed by cops, we couldn't find words that would suffice. Then we thought we'd share our story to express how we are able to understand and sympathize the Black community is angry, hurt and fed up with police brutality. In this episode, we share two stories we never really talk about publicly. No reason why. It just never came up. I sat down with my co-founder Ed to tell the story. We're both Puerto Rican and have had our share of run-ins with the cops. We've never committed a crime, but we looked a certain way.

A couple of weeks after pitching Antler we are back on the podcast together.  Edwin and I have been working every day since the pitch. Working on everything from the foundation of the product to newer updates to the web version.  I've learned a lot more about product and design these last few weeks. We dive into what we've been doing and some future thoughts. @theSolofounder

This an episode I recorded while driving the day before we pitched to Antler. Antler is a global early-stage VC firm that builds and invests in groundbreaking technology companies. These are my thoughts before the big day. Find me on  Instagram: @theSoloFounder Twitter: @theSoloFoundr www.sanomind.com

In this episode I talk about my experience trying to find a co-founder at the Antler accelerator inaugural cohort in New York City and the loneliness epidemic which gave me my newest startup idea. Instagram: thesolofounder Twitter: thesolofoundr Website: Sanomind

I had a great conversation with Yaw about his life and his idea on the future of work.

For the last 4 weeks, I've been in an accelerator that brought 100 smart people together to ultimately partner up and become co-founders. It's a very interesting model. One I've had in mind for some time now. I've struggled with finding the right co-founder. I longed for the day someone would have the balls to create an accelerator that introduces potential co-founders. That time finally came. It's called Antler. https://www.antler.co/  Antler identifies and invests in exceptional people. They are a  global startup generator and early-stage VC firm that builds groundbreaking technology companies. They believe that it is important to have exceptional people, regardless of their background and geography, work on addressing large global opportunities and challenges. They help solo founders find the right co-founder among 80-100 other carefully selected people who’ve made it through the application process to start building your company.  I haven't found a co-founder yet, mainly because I am solely focused on mental health. If I was problem agnostic, I'd probably have a better chance of finding someone quicker. But, as you know, I'm trying to solve the access/cost problem in mental health.  There are tons of smart and interesting people in the cohort and I will be bringing some on the podcast.
