In this solo episode, I get real about the traps creatives fall into when we are scared to start. I used to think a career in the arts was frivolous. Then I left tech, started releasing music before I felt ready, and committed to one lane: art with social impact. That path led to American Dream winning the Hollywood Independent Music Award for Best Social Impact Song. The lesson: pick something, get good at it, and put the work out before it feels perfect.
Feeling discouraged? You're not alone.In this solo episode, I talk about why so many creatives are feeling stuck in today's oversaturated world and how I've learned to keep going anyway. From leaving behind my career in government consulting to pursuing music in Los Angeles, I share my thoughts on algorithms, comparison, authenticity, and why your creativity is worth protecting. If you've been questioning your path, this episode is your reminder to keep creating and keep believing.
In this solo episode, Sumi shares one of the biggest mindset shifts she's had since moving to Los Angeles to pursue music: success isn't built alone. Drawing from her own experiences, she unpacks the three pillars she believes every creative needs to build a sustainable career—collaboration, community, and craft.Sumi talks about overcoming imposter syndrome, the importance of getting out from behind the screen and into real-life creative spaces, and why the strongest opportunities often come through genuine relationships. Sumi also shares practical advice on protecting your time, following through on opportunities, and creating from a place of impact rather than pressure.This conversation is a reminder that while talent and hard work matter, it's the people you build along the way that make the journey and the dream worth it.

We are constantly bombarded by other people's ideas, advice, and opinions...and it's making it harder than ever to tune into our own creative vision.In this solo episode, I'm getting real about why the pressure to constantly drop new music almost broke me and what I'm doing differently now that has me feeling more aligned and excited about my music career than ever before. We're talking about blocking out the noise, building a cohesive creative vision, creating a sandbox for yourself as an artist, and why evidence of progress is the fuel that keeps us going.
Ethan Buckner is a singer-songwriter, community organizer and activist based in Venice, California. He's spent years fighting big oil pipelines, organizing solidarity fundraisers for communities in crisis, hosting backyard concerts during the pandemic, and building Westside Sounds, a monthly music showcase highlighting local talent in LA. In this conversation we get into what it really looks like to build two careers at once without sacrificing either. Ethan shares how a trip to Poland at 16 shaped his entire life's mission, why he dropped his pseudonym and started releasing music under his own name, and what happened when a disc in his back exploded in India and forced him to slow down for the first time in his life.
