    I listened three times to this one! Great stuff for artists who have success in one area but are considering a move to another. It’s a good framework to discuss passion versus platform. There are so many “bliss bullies” out there. As in, follow your bliss or you’re a loser. But there is a way to use any platform to feed your passion.

    You talk about interesting and awesome things, Todd, but way too fast, it stresses me out a bit. Probably because I’m not American, huh? :-)

    Todd, you absolutely killed it with this episode. I could not agree more. You don’t have to enjoy everything you do, but you can still keep your joy as you do it. I definitely want to share this with my listeners and subscribers.

    An inspiring podcast, but “compassionate anger?” Practicing compassion can be a powerful motivating force. However, I believe that anger, even toward those who are doing harm to others, is a destructive force and should not be used as fuel for driving action. Earnestly practicing compassion nourishes ourselves, those we are helping, and even soften those who are doing harm. I agree with the heart of your message, but the idea of compassionate anger can lead to self-righteousness.
