Spicy Segments #2 - co-hosted by Kier Kemp
Spicy Segments are sponsored by Condimaniac.
In each episode, Jamie and Kier Kemp, Condimaniac's CEO, talk about life as an obsessive person, music, business, the music business, the business of making music, growing a devoted fan base, and more.
- Being memorable is hard work, but it's worth it
- Unpleasant experiences can and should be used to better yourself
- Creativity can come at a price
- Trying to please as many people as possible leads to nobody loving what you do
- Niching down can have a downside. Be smart about it.
- The imposter syndrome can be used for good
- Passion can be used to fuel your investments, your work, your art, your education, and more.
- Your eccentricities can be used to make you stand out in the crowd
- Mediocrity is dangerous if taken as expertise
- Beating yourself up for mistakes or character flaws doesn't lead to improvement. Taking the whole you into perspective does. See the good, accept the good, see the bad, work on the bad.
- Create stuff that YOU love, then promote it. Be your own biggest fan.
