2. Learning self-leadership from horses in Tuscany
Hello to all of those brave souls - the entrepreneurs and musicpreneurs in dance music who are going it alone - making a living while building a life around your passion for electronic music.
You’re doing something most people question. Is there money in that?
A question I have heard a gazillion times. ever since I founded my company The Unicorn Mothership. Since 2015 I guide DIY DJs and electronic music producers who are ready to face the fears that limit both their craft and career in dance music - particularly through overcoming procrastination.
I teach them how to cultivate a greater sense of personal wellness and mental well-being which helps them to feel confident about their steps so that they can move the needle in dance music.
I have learned a ton since starting my business and wanted to create a space for myself as a CEO where I can just get raw and real my personal experiences, expertise and future vision for all things wellness and mental well-being in electronic music, mindset, spirituality, entrepreneurship in electronic music, and more.
Consider this the secret diary of an electronic music wellness expert. A place where I get to be all of me - no filter, no strategies, no nothing. So if you do decide to listen, that’s what you’re going to get.
On this week’s episode, I’m taking you back to Tuscany - literally - to share with you a lesson learned on self-leadership from a few very special teachers - horses. A time in my life where I lived in Tuscany, volunteering for Italian Horse Protection turned out to teach me a lot about how to apply self-leadership in my business in dance music.
