    Dealing With Criticism & Negativity For Your Music Or Art

    Today I'm talking about how to process receiving criticism or negative attention for your music or art, whether this has happened to you or you're afraid of experiencing it. Talking about how to take it in stride while also being kind and real with yourself. The difference between constructive criticism and straight up trolling, and why you shouldn't take the trolling too seriously!

    How I Stopped Waiting For Things To Get Started

    Join me on Patreon for a patron-exclusive monthly video episode of this podcast, plus new music, early release/exclusive videos, and more! https://www.patreon.com/calverosings Watch as a video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2Hrnt7scZjAIfAOcjmsnSw Your eyes are not deceiving you….we are BACK with a new episode of Calvero Speaks! On today’s episode I’m talking about how my perspective has been shifting to care less about streams and numbers, how my perspective on success and failure has been shifting. Posing the question….what if massive fame and success isn’t the payoff, and the act of creating art itself is the payoff? Also, realizing that I’ve been waiting for things to “get started”, and how that mentality has been holding me back. Because in reality, I’m in it! I started a long time ago, lack of Wikipedia page be damned. I talk about how this personal breakthrough has lit a fire under me.

    The Mental Health Episode

    Today's episode is all about mental health! For anyone who is struggling, or maybe doesn't know what's wrong, I hope this helps. I'm breaking down what my mental health issues looked like, why I avoided getting help for so long, what the process was like to start going to therapy, and how it ultimately changed my life for the better! Being an artist and trying to build a career in today's capitalist hellscape comes with so much baggage as it is, that anything you can do to mitigate your brain acting against you can be a big help to get through the day :) Join me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/calverosings  Buy a t-shirt: https://calvero.creator-spring.com  Sign up for my newsletter: http://eepurl.com/gTKUn1  Take a songwriting lesson with me: https://songwritingwithgabe.wordpress.com/  Follow me on these things:  https://www.instagram.com/calvero_sings/  https://spoti.fi/2G59bvL  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2Hrnt7scZjAIfAOcjmsnSw  https://www.tiktok.com/@calvero_sings  https://twitter.com/calvero_sings  https://www.facebook.com/calverosings/  http://calverosings.com  Say hi: iamcalvero [at] gmail.com  Pay what you want on Bandcamp: https://calverosings.bandcamp.com/  Paypal donation: https://paypal.me/calverosings

    The REBOOT

    We are BACK, baby! The plan is to turn this into a bi-weekly thing. In today's episode we're talking about how fear-based compulsion can hold you back, releasing/putting things out when it feels like no one’s watching, dealing with industry rejection and accepting a more independent path, learning how to define success for yourself outside of the industry, and many more things!
