The Power of Consistency and Small Wins As a DJ and a Drummer, I’ve learned that success doesn’t come from one big moment—it’s built on a series of small, consistent efforts over time. Whether it’s mastering a new groove, connecting with an audience, or exploring fresh sounds, it’s the daily grind that drives real progress. This applies beyond the music industry. In any field, consistency and persistence are key to growth. Even small wins, like finishing a project or learning something new, can add up to something great. So here’s my challenge to you: What’s one small step you can take today toward your bigger goals? Let’s celebrate progress, no matter how small. #GrowthMindset #Consistency #MusicIndustry #SmallWins #DJLife

"Success is not about being the best. It's about doing the best you can with the time that you have." - Bruce Springsteen This quote offers a powerful perspective for music industry professionals. In a field where comparisons and competition are inevitable, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that success is about personal growth and commitment. The real measure of success lies in the effort, passion, and integrity we invest in our work, not in constantly striving to outdo others. Whether you're an artist, producer, or manager, focusing on doing your best — rather than chasing external validation — leads to a deeper sense of fulfillment and achievement. By dedicating yourself to the craft and making the most of the time and opportunities available, you create meaningful, lasting impact, both in your career and in the industry as a whole. Success, then, becomes a natural result of authenticity and excellence in everything you do. #MusicIndustry #Success #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #Inspiration

Big congrats to Felix & Paul Studios for embarking on what will undoubtedly be a groundbreaking experience coming to AREA15 next year. “Interstellar Arc” adds a truly AAA experience to Area 15’s offerings, and to the entire landscape of “immersive experiences”. Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart will have a stunning and complimentary neighbor that will help to elevate the entire industry’s quality of standard. As is the case with most emerging industries and emerging forms, there’s always an awkward first phase where low-quality copycats and quick money-grabs can take advantage of a general audience’s rabid appetite and lack of learned discernment. Though such efforts bring some amount of short-term fuel to an industry, it ultimately dilutes the promise of emerging forms, confuses and disappoints consumers, and threatens the long-term success of the entire ecosystem. High-quality matters, and is worth paying for, and that’s why I’m so psyched for what Felix & Paul + A15 are courageously bringing to Vegas. The potential for “Hyper-Reality” aka LBE VR has still only barely been tapped. The opportunity to truly transport people into fully animated and realized worlds that are anchored to physical sculpture is incredibly exciting. Can’t wait to experience Interstellar Arc in 2025! https://lnkd.in/gpNbqSVG

Dallas Buyers Club is arguably the most impactful film ever made – within four years of winning multiple Oscars, 41 states had passed laws allowing terminally ill people to seek non-FDA approved treatments in their quest to prolong their lives. These laws were colloquially known as “Dallas Buyers Club laws.“ In 2018, the “right to try” became federal law. How did this happen? How, at a time of intense polarization, did this film inspire so many legislatures to come together across party lines to expand the freedom and the dignity of every American? How did this film act upon the brains of ideologically opposed people, and get them to work together for change? We had theories, but we wanted facts. So we watched the brains of liberals, moderates, and conservatives as they watched the film, looking for answers. More at the link. https://lnkd.in/geBWnNfg

🚨 **Regal's Questionable Practices: A Disservice to Filmmakers and Moviegoers** 🚨 Recently, in a conversation with fellow producers and directors, we discussed the lawsuit against Adobe, for among other things, “preventing consumers from easily canceling software subscriptions” and Regal Unlimited subscription came up and how their similar questionable practices undermine our hard work and the moviegoing experience. Users, including myself, have faced issues where attempting to cancel leads to a loop of prompts and redirects, ultimately continuing charges. They explicitly prompt you to type DELETE - with a clear warning that the account will be deleted. To then once you click, just takes you to a FAQ section. Needless to say, the account is not deleted and charges continue. People on Reddit have shared similar experiences, with some even resorting to canceling their debit cards to stop the charges. This has been reported numerous times to Regal’s customer service - and months later no solution. Another common complaint is that you can’t reset the password from the log-in page on the app, in case you’ve forgotten it. This frustrates loyal customers and erodes trust. At a time when the entertainment industry could benefit from bringing audiences back, such tactics create the opposite result. Have you faced similar issues? 🎬📽️ is this a fair conversation to have ? Or is such a desperate business practice justified ? Can anyone from Regal speak to this ? #Moviegoers #Filmmakers #CustomerService #RegalUnlimited #SubscriptionIssues
