The Mindset Tweak that Brought Me Back to This Show For the Long Haul
This show started in 2016, and after a few years of vacillating in its consistency, it's here for the long haul. I'm sharing a bit of the backstory into what caused that to occur, as well as some of the principles that made me decide to commit to this show on a far more permanent basis.A few salient points from what you'll hear:-The riches are in the niches...00:54-We meet Basmati, "executive secretary to James Newcomb...06:45-On the brink of retirement from trumpet...11:45-The important distinction between being a trumpeter w/ a podcast, vs. a podcaster who plays trumpet...16:45-No matter the topic, the show is always about the music, and the trumpet...20:55Show notes:Briefly discuss bringing politics into the episodes.It's not to advance a political agendaThe agenda is always to share info that's important/interesting/entertaining for trumpeters and musiciansIn so doing, when politics is discussed, we may stray a bit into sharing out own opinions; but that's not why we are discussing itImagery of tether ball; may stray into certain areas, but will stay "tethered" to the mission of the showMindset tweak:Trumpeter first, podcaster secondMusicpreneur conceptA trumpeter who has a podcast; make James Newcomb the center of the brand, not a podcastIkigai:Playing trumpet, having the podcast, isn't the purpose; it's the means of achieving the purposeCredits:Host: James NewcombGuest: Basmati Bhattachadya, Supreme Executive Secretary to James NewcombOpening and closing music: "Creepin' With Clark" written and performed by Mike Vax and Clark TerrySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/trumpet-dynamics.
