Bandits on the Run

We’re encouraging all our beloved friends, fans, and family to listen to all of our upcoming music on Bandcamp! For those of you who might not know yet, Bandcamp has banned AI music and has been keeping artists at the center of their platform for a long time now (unlike…well, most other streaming platforms 🫠).

One of my favorite bands has released a new song!

Lovely people, beautiful voices in harmony, full of love and joy and all the things you need right now.

The Comment

I figured that, so long as I didn’t eat up too much of his morning time, I could expand my queries beyond the sartorial. Money, local personalities, the proper way to gain respect (“competence is a great long-term attractor”), I would just pepper him with questions over early morning black coffees.

Yet, I never called him a mentor until years later. I never uttered the question, “would you be my mentor?” or anything like that.

In line with my thoughts on mentors.

Mentors don’t have to know they are your mentors. You don’t have to let them know, either. Just let them mentor.

I’m finding myself doing a fair amount of podcast guesting these days. It falls under my policy of yes.
