Many of the best indicators aren’t the obvious ones.

Want to know the quality of a restaurant?
​
Check the ice.
​
It tells you whether they pay attention to the little things.

When artists reach out wanting to collaborate, I don’t just listen to their music.
​
Because I don’t charge to produce, every yes costs me time & energy.

So I check a less obvious signal:
​
Their social media chatter.

Not for polish.
​
For energy.

Are they posturing, complaining, and taking veiled shots?
​
Or building, encouraging, and celebrating others?
​
Life is short.
​
I want to work with folks who bring good energy.

​The Inner Game of Tennis by W. Timothy Gallwey. Performance, focus, and self-interference that applies beyond sports. It’s useful for creative work where the internal critic quietly does the most damage.

🎵 Music

​Songs in the Key of Life by Stevie Wonder. Recorded over multiple years with an unusually broad range of collaborators, the album functions more like a musical universe than a single statement.
