Transcription wizard June Lee joins me to discuss fear based learning, digital careers, and the magic beneath the notes. They laugh about the things they used to suck at, and how they suck less at them now.
I’m committed to the application of things. I don’t want to stop at theoretical.

Actionable Advice
- There’s nothing wrong with watching fail compilations. You watch it once and forget about it, but there’s nothing wrong with it.
- I myself went into music thinking this is what I like and I want to be famous for it or whatever. I realized I have to make a value for the musical things I do, no one’s going to give it to me.
- I can’t put into words how much the music I love means to me. But I’ve also began to accept that unless I make it valuable to other people then there’s not much value in what I know.
- Going back to “do I have special ears”, yes as in I can hear notes, but not very special in the harmonic grammar or relative pitch. You’re not born with that.
- I can say this works because of this, but what matters is being able to make those decisions yourself at the end.
- You can never expect someone’s response to anything. In general if you really believe in something and put you’r effort into it and release it, it usually works out.
