Ep 141: Your Skill Isn't Enough. You Need an AND
I never got work because I was the best guitarist in the room. I got work because I was a guitarist AND I could do the next thing. Everyone walking into a co-write says the same two things: lyrics are my strength, or melody is my strength. So how do you create separation? You pair. In this episode I break down the AND — what it is, why most writers never build one, how to find yours without signing up for another forty courses, and the three questions that tell you what yours already is. Your skill gets you into the room. Your AND is what keeps you in the room.

Ep 140: Why Your Song Sounds "Almost Good" (How To Find The Broken Part)
Ever write a song that just doesn't land, and you can't figure out why? Try the Three Room Test: split your song into lyrics, melody, and chords, and check if each one delivers the same feeling on its own. Nine times out of ten, one room is sending a completely different message than the other two, and that's your real problem, not the mix.

Ep 139: Why the Same Feedback Fixed One Song and Wrecked the Other
In this one, Grace and I get into what it's actually like producing in a 96% male industry, the comments that tell her the mix is wrong before anyone's even heard the whole song, and why she leans into being called a "female producer" even though she hates the stigma attached to it. And we talk about Girls Who Write, the community she built in Nashville that's grown from five friends in an apartment to 60+ women at a time, because the thing most people are actually missing isn't more information. It's knowing they're not the only one figuring it out alone.

Ep 138: Only 4% of Producers Are Women (Here's Her Edge)
In this one, Grace and I get into what it's actually like producing in a 96% male industry, the comments that tell her the mix is wrong before anyone's even heard the whole song, and why she leans into being called a "female producer" even though she hates the stigma attached to it.

Ep 137: What Artist Identity Actually Means
In this one, CB, SFG Coach/Nashville based Artist, breaks down what artist identity actually is, the songs, the visuals, the way you dress, the genre you're willing to claim out loud. We get into why so many songwriters dodge the genre question "it's hard to describe my sound" and why that's usually just another way of thinking you're the exception to the rule. Spoiler: you're not, and that's actually good news.

Ep 136: Stop Layering Guitars — The Fix for Muddy Demos
Your guitar isn't the problem. How you're recording it is. SFG Coach, Zachary and I get into why so many home demos end up sounding muddy, and it's almost never the playing. It's proximity, it's reflections you don't even know are happening in your room, it's reaching for a plugin instead of fixing it at the source. We also get into the "rule of three" for mixes, why relaxing (not tensing up) is actually what makes you sound tighter, and why Suno can't replace the thing you're actually trying to build. If your demos have been sounding thin, flat, or just off, this one's for you.

Ep 135: I Wrote 600+ Songs I Knew I'd Never Use. I'd Do It All Again.
I told you my biggest regret in music a couple weeks ago. This one's the flip side. 600+ songs. Written on purpose, knowing most of them wouldn't go anywhere. Here's why I'd do every single one again, plus the three other things that built my songwriting career from the ground up. If you're in the middle of your own reps right now and it feels pointless, this one's for you.

Ep 134: The Secret to Lyrics That Actually Feel Like Something
Ever write a line you thought was great, only to realize it's just a list of facts with no feeling behind it? In this one I sit down with Alden Hedges, touring bass player, songwriter, and one of our SFG coaches, to talk about why that happens to almost every songwriter, and what actually separates a lyric that lands from one that doesn't. Alden shares some brutally honest lines from his own catalog, the "maybe I can do better" mindset that keeps him improving without burning the notebook, and why your own voice, not the polished stuff you see online, is the one thing nobody else can write for you. If you've ever finished a lyric and thought "this is fine" but knew deep down it wasn't quite there yet, you'll walk away from this one with a real shift in how you think about your next verse.
