This week We count it up with Mustin, a composer and producer for one of my favorite bands, The One Ups. He throws down these 3 takeaways for you:
1. When you find your thing, whatever it is, it'll come naturally. Trust it!
2. Even though you're great at what you do, you may not always get the recognition and accolades (maybe you crawled so that someone can run). Don't give up, persevere.
3. Often times when you're shifting gears in life, you'll need to bet on yourself. That's a chance worth taking!
Of course we close with our 3 Whats which you don't want to miss.
