If I Could Go Back 40 Years, I'd Tell Myself This

If I could sit down with my younger self at the beginning of my audio career, what would I say?

After more than 40 years as an audio engineer, studio owner, producer, and mentor, there are a few lessons I wish someone had shared with me much earlier. Some I learned the easy way—but most came through mistakes, setbacks, burnout, and experience.

In this episode, I share the advice I'd give my 20-year-old self about gear, clients, business, relationships, work-life balance, and what success in the audio industry really looks like.

Whether you're just getting started or you've been doing this for years, I hope these lessons help you avoid some of the mistakes I made and build a career you'll be proud of.
