In this day and age, finding the right job can be difficult, but not impossible.

"The right job" means you have balance in your day job and your hobbies outside of it. You need flexibility, support and more importantly, something you enjoy doing every day.

It might sound like a pipe dream, but it is doable. If you hate your current job, you don't want to miss out on this episode. It was made for you.

Speaking more to this topic, there are really 2 types of producers. One that hates their job so much that they use it to fuel their passion, or the second that hates their job and let it ruin everything around them, including their music.

If you are the latter, then you need to find a way to get yourself in a position to love what you do, and that's what this episode is all about.

In this episode I'll be discussing why you should focus on optimization over shiny new things.

Too many producers get caught up in trying to write the next big hit, get the new toy that will make them the best producer, or just always on the look out for some new technique that changes everything; when in fact none of those will get them where they want to go.

Instead, an optimization first plan is what will get them to their goals. Focus on what you know, evolve that game plan, turn it into your unique art and eventually you will get to where you want to go.
