    Write It Before the Feeling Disappears (Eric Colville of The Low Stakes Band)

    Eric Colville of The Low Stakes Band talks about writing songs that feel true instead of chasing what sounds commercial. We also discuss their single “Upon the Wall”, revisiting old ideas, and building a regional following. Key Takeaways: Writing something honest is usually stronger than trying to guess what people want. The songs that feel too personal or revealing can often be the ones that connect the most. Old ideas are worth revisiting, especially when life or current events suddenly give them new meaning. Touring only makes sense when you’re honest about the goal, whether that’s money, growth, travel, or experience. Building regionally can be a smarter path than jumping into a full tour before there’s demand.

    Bring Your Bubbles (Jaclyn Dima)

    Musician and artist Jaclyn Dima talks about growing up in a musical family, finding her way through open mics and teaching, and returning to music with her latest single “I Won’t Dance For You.” We also get into genre hopping, perfectionism, and why she refuses to pick just one lane. Key Takeaways: You never really stop being a student, especially if you’re building a creative life. Sometimes the path that works is the one you accidentally fall into, then choose to keep following. Not every artist needs to pick one genre lane, especially when the audience connects with the person behind the work. Details matter but at some point you have to stop tweaking and release the thing. Joy is part of the creative process too.

    Don’t Take Shortcuts With Your Reputation (Dallas Jackson from TipSee Music)

    Dallas Jackson, Founder of TipSee Music and The Hondo Rodeo Fest, shares how he went from finance to building music tech and event startups. We talk about making song requests and tipping easier for musicians, learning by doing, using AI to stay lean, and why integrity matters when you’re building something from scratch. Key Takeaways Big ideas become manageable when you break them into steps and stay willing to pivot. Solving a real friction point matters more than building something flashy. Getting creators to adopt a new tool often starts with trust, demos, and proof of concept. AI can help startups stay lean, but the goal should be efficiency, not replacing people. Reputation and integrity matter, especially in creative industries where relationships drive everything.
