Stop Trying! Start Doing: A Conversation with Carla Ondrasik

We’ve all been told to keep trying — try harder, try smarter, try until you make it. But what if that mindset is actually what’s holding you back?

In this episode, we’re joined by Carla Ondrasik, longtime music executive and author of Stop Trying, to unpack why trying sets us up for failure — and how breaking free starts with one simple shift: stop trying, start doing.

Carla shares real talk from the trenches of the music industry and her own personal story, revealing how “trying” often becomes a way to avoid commitment, clarity, and real action. This conversation is for anyone feeling stuck.

It's not about giving up — it's about getting real and doing
