Imagine hitting that crossroads moment where 'fine' is no longer fine enough—where the pull of creative authenticity tugs at your core. That's the fork in the road Todd Henry, one of my favourite humans, and acclaimed author of "The Brave Habit" found himself at, and it catalyzed a profound pivot in his podcast, embodying the essence of bravery that he advocates. We chat about bravery in the realm of creative exploration, and the paradoxes artists and musicians encounter, wrestling with the allure of past success while yearning to venture into the unknown.

In today's show you're gonna get a full lesson on how to integrate bravery  to overcome your creative blocks from the OG, Todd Henry:

• Learn how to shed the safety net and engage with your work in a way that sets your soul on fire. 
• Learn the BRAVE framework 
  • Block time
  • Review
  • Agency
  • Vision
  • Express
• Learn where Todd got his start in music and what band was his favourite growing up... like obsessive, folks. You're not going to believe it...

All this and more on Episode 97 of the new and improved, Under The Radar: Secrets To Success For The Independent Musician.
