Well, hello there. It's Morgan here and welcome to today's episode. Today I want to talk about

how do you feel about the phrase, quality over quantity? This is something that I've learned

to ask myself and I just wanted to share a story with you about how I had to learn how to rethink this idea of quality over

quantity because I realized that there were some areas where it was actually holding me back.

So some time ago, I was chatting with someone about creativity and art and process and all those things. And they just kind of passively said,

oh, well, it seems like you're really a perfectionist about your work. And I got a little defensive.

I didn't really say anything, but I was just like, hmm, what? And I thought about it for a while,

and I realized that they were actually right.

I had become a perfectionist, especially in this particular area.

And it had to do with music.

Music was a place where I believe that quality was more important than quantity and putting out good quality music was

important. And I had the opportunity in my 20s to be able to put out some good quality music.

And in doing that, I was able to work with producers and in session musicians and learn about all the ways that you could make really good

quality music. I was in Nashville and I would go to these recording studios and I would hear the

stories about how they made this room just to record these certain kind of instruments. And I just, oh,

I loved it. I was like, I just love how much time and efforts being put into making such

good quality music. And I became so wrapped up in that that when that opportunity ended and when that

experience ended, I just stopped making music altogether because I would see online when

people would talk about the artists that they love like, oh, I'm so glad so-and-so spent so much

time working on this album because you can just tell it's such a

good quality album and I was sitting here with undiagnosed ADHD and no budget whatsoever just thinking

well whenever I get the opportunity again to create music it's going to have to be at least as good
