Did you know there are two episodes of TEM every single week? TEM Extra is a weekly episode available exclusively to patrons of the show.

On Last Week's TEM Extra:

• Why most people will be against you whenever you try to change the culture somewhere
• One hell of a quote from Les Brown about aiming high and dreaming big
• The importance of consistently shipping your art when it comes to converting people into true fans (and serving the true fans you already have!)

Listen to last week's TEM Extra here.

On Today’s Episode of The Entrepreneurial Musician:

• Why being a good person comes out in your music and in your relationships
• The universe will tell you what your passion is if you listen to it
• The crazy story about Mark landing a lead role in a musical when he wasn’t an actor!
• Mark’s remarkable bio (it includes a mission statement!) and how being an outsider growing up informs that mission statement and his art to this day
• Finding your five adjectives
• Why the best feedback can sometimes come from people you don’t know
• Outsourcing and why anything you can teach someone else to do is something you shouldn’t be doing yourself
• A reminder that everything (from delegating tasks to making your art) is a practice
